Day at a Time as writing shifted to Larry bringing up his daughters as a single father. Hello, Larry was canceled in the Spring of 1980 after its second season, having aired 38 episodes. TV Guide ranked the series No. 12 on their "50 Worst Shows of All Time" list in 2002. The show has been used as shorthand for badness. In one example, Arianna Huffington said that "John McCain's return to the Senate will be the chilliest reception for a war hero since McLean Stevenson tried to talk his way back onto M*A*S*H after Hello, Larry tanked."
