The Arthur Company finished a £28,000,000 order for 271 half-hour sitcoms for Turner Broadcasting Systems, and also a $10,000,000 order for 24 episodes of the hour-long action adventure series, "Airwolf".
Annecharico's syndicated sitcom, "The Munsters Today" (aka "The New Munsters") after its initial pilot enjoyed three successful seasons from 1988 – 1991. The pilot episode bridged the gap between the original 1966 "The Munsters" series and the new "Today" show.
The show's second series was met with some criticism from Munster fans as Annecharico changed the format of the show's first season and the original series to bring the Munster family into the 1990s. While the show continued to base its original premise on the fact that the Munster family are unlike other people yet living a perfectly "normal" life, there were notable changes made.
