11. There were three different pilots shot

The show was adapted from a British show that Norman Lear bought the rights to, and it took three different pilots with recasting and renames to finally get the show off the ground. The first pilot was actually financed by ABC, but then they turned down the second, and CBS finally took the third. As they say, third time’s a charm.
