In its first season (despite being the lead-in to "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" on Saturday nights and winning an Emmy nomination as best comedy series), "Arnie" received only fair Nielsen ratings.
For its second season, in order to increase its viewership, Syndication made a major cast change in the show's format. Dick Van Patten was dropped as the Nuvos' next door neighbor and Charles Nelson Reilly joined the cast as Randy Robinson, a TV chef who called himself "The Giddyap Gourmet".
Also, the network decided to move the show to Monday nights at 10:00 P.M. followed at 10:30 P.M. by "All in the Family" which had debuted in January 1971 on Tuesday nights to mediocre ratings.
At the last minute, a switch was made and "My Three Sons" left its comfortable Saturday night time slot and took over the 10:00 P.M. slot on Mondays with "Arnie" slotted at 10:30 P.M. Both shows sank in the ratings.
"All In The Family" was moved to Saturday nights at 8:00 P.M. where it became the number one show for five consecutive years.
At mid-season, "My Three Sons" was moved to Thursday nights and Arnie returned to the Saturday night prime-time schedule. However, the changes did not help and both shows were canceled at the end of the 1971–1972 season.
