42. Yes, but it did have talented cast members

The writing occasionally was sophmoric, but Mindy Cohn, Lisa Welchel and Nancy McKeon were great comediennes, whenever they did get a funny line. (Kim Fields, God bless her, was mostly for decoration.) And give it props: it was one of the few sitcoms in the early-to-mid 80's that would stil occasionally tackle a serious subject (attempted rape, eating disorders, etc.) in a time when most shows seemed to be mostly as warm and fuzzy as Bill Cosby's sweaters.
