In the first season of The Cosby Show, there was an episode that focused on a community center run by Tony Orlando (of "And Dawn" fame). That was a backdoor pilot that never took off. I saw an interview with Tony and he said he felt his acting was sub-par, and that's why it was never picked up.

I'm glad it didn't happen.

I'm still picturing Sue's arrival in Chicago reflecting that of Ellie Kemper arriving in NYC for the first time in "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt."
