Overview

The series focuses on a group of twenty-something friends in Chicago: Jack, a photographer; Brian, a social worker; Shelly, a fifth-grade teacher; and Liz, a hairdresser.

Wild Oats aired on Fox at 9:30 ET on Sunday nights. Despite having the aging but still-popular Married... with Children as a lead-in, the new show drew small audiences against the other networks, who all ran highly-rated movies from 9pm onward. The comedy was canceled after only four episodes, leaving two others unaired.

NBC took over the rights to the Sunday prime time game telecasts from ESPN, which carried the broadcasts from 1987 to 2005.

A doubleheader is a term used by television networks to refer to two games involving the same sport that are shown back-to-back on the same network, even though the events do not involve the same two teams. A doubleheader purposely coincides with a league's scheduling of "early" and "late" games. In North America, games usually start at the same time period in different time zones. The concept is less often extended to three games—a tripleheader—or, much more rarely, a quadrupleheader of four games.
