What happens

The Montefuscos is an American sitcom broadcast on NBC in September, 1975. The series was cancelled after only three episodes due to poor ratings and unfavorable critical reviews. NBC broadcast a total of eight episodes (a ninth was pre-empted by Game 5 of the 1975 World Series) from September 4 to October 23, 1975 despite its earlier cancellation notice. Created by executive producers Bill Persky and Sam Denoff, the comedy centered on three generations of an Italian-American family that lived in New Canaan, Connecticut and their weekly gatherings for Sunday dinner. It led off a Thursday prime time schedule that also featured new programs Fay, Ellery Queen and Medical Story. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
