How it feels

A short-lived 1979 sitcom about students living in a co-ed dormitory. The show follows stock frat-house characters trying to get laughs with raunchy hijinks. It was canceled after one episode due to poor ratings and bad reviews.

What happens

Co-Ed Fever is an American sitcom that aired on CBS in 1979. The series attempted to capitalize on the success of the motion picture National Lampoon's Animal House. It was the third of three "frat house" comedy series to air in early 1979 – the others were the direct follow-on to Animal House, ABC's Delta House, and NBC's Brothers and Sisters. After CBS aired the first episode of Co-Ed Fever as a "special preview" on February 4, 1979, the airing's low ratings and viewer complaints caused the network to cancel it before it ever aired in its planned Monday-night time slot. Co-Ed Fever ranked number 32 on TV Guide's 50 Worst Shows of All Time list. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
