Such a brilliant concept from Aaron Spelling. Rotate between three storylines: one for the kids, one for the adults, and one for the retirees. Each storyline would feature a familiar face for that generation. The guest cast would use out of work actors gotten on the cheap, and actors from other shows in the same network subsidized by management.

The formula would be repeated later on shows like Fantasy Island. And also on more adult fare like “Hotel” and non-Spelling “Falcon Crest“ without the storylines aimed at kids.
