TV Confidential with Ed Robertson
How Movin' On grew its core audience because of its early time slot
Please enjoy this preview of our upcoming conversation with Barry Weitz, co-creator and co-executive producer of Movin' On (NBC, 1974-1976), and Kathy Bird, author of Sundance Turns 50: The Amazing Legacy of Movin' On . In this segment Barry discusses his initial inspiration for Movin' On ; how he originally envisioned the series as a 10pm show that would cater specifically for adults (and how NBC curtailed that strategy when it moved the show to Tuesdays 8pm); and the many ways in which the earlier time slot proved to be a blessing in disguise. Our complete conversation with Barry Weitz and Kathy Bird will air in a few weeks on TV Confidential .
