Struck by Lightning(1979)

Struck by Lightning is a 1979 American sitcom that reimagines Frankenstein's monster in a comedic setting. The series aired on CBS but was short-lived, canceled after just three episodes in the United States. Despite its quick cancellation, all completed episodes eventually aired in England on ITV in 1980. Like fellow 1979 CBS sitcom Working Stiffs, Struck by Lightning struggled to find an audience during its initial run, making it a forgotten entry in television comedy history. The show represents a curious experiment in adapting classic horror material for prime-time humor, though it failed to resonate with American viewers at the time.
