Because there was not a single laugh from the audience in the entire terrible run of this series.
It survived solely by having weak competition, being on weekends when most people went out and its audience was older shut ins and kids who didn't know any better.
There was not a single "joke" you couldn't predict in advance that wasn't old in vaudeville days. There was not a single likeable character. You felt yourself getting dumber each minute you were bored and desperate enough to watch it back in the days where there were only three networks and cable, DVDs, and even VHS hadn't been invented.
Spare yourself from this.
