Broadcast History[]
"Live-In" was a mid-season replacement that premiered on March 20, 1989. The series was scheduled on Monday nights at 8 p.m. EST preceding another new comedy series, "Heartland."
Both series featured predominately young casts and teen-oriented storylines that Syndication hoped would draw in teen and young adult viewers. However, both series received generally negative reviews from critics and suffered from low ratings.
On May 20, 1989, Syndication announced its decision to cancel both series; the final episode of "Live-In" aired on May 29, 1989.
