Better Days is an American sitcom that aired on CBS from October 1 to October 29, 1986.[1]

Summary

Brian McGuire is a California teenager who moves in with his grandfather, Harry in Brooklyn, New York to ease his parents' financial problems. Helping Brian adjust to his new surroundings were Luther Cain and Anthony "The Snake" Johnson, two of his street-smart teammates on the Broxton High School basketball team. Miss Winners was their cynical, no-nonsense English high school teacher. Terrance Dean was their yuppie classmate.

Cancellation

Better Days was the first show of the 1986-1987 television season to be canceled. It lasted only four weeks. People magazine was highly critical of the series during its short run on CBS; in its year-end review, Jeff Jarvis, then the TV critic for the magazine, described it as "a shockingly racist sitcom that looked as if it had been produced by South African TV."[2]
