Reception[]
"Tenspeed and Brown Show" was heavily promoted by ABC at the time it premiered in late January 1980 and attracted a substantial audience for its first few episodes (indeed, the series was the 29th-most watched program of the 1979–80 U.S. television season, according to Nielsen ratings), but viewership dropped off substantially after that, and it was not renewed for the 1980–81 season.
