Temperatures Rising
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Temperatures Rising was an American television situation comedy that ran from September 12, 1972 to August 29, 1974 on the ABC network.
The network had a good deal of faith in the low-rated series, which went through three cast changes, two different formats, and two time slots during its run.
Initially, the show was set at Washington, D.C.'s Capital General Hospital, presided over by chief of surgery Vincent Campanelli (James Whitmore). In its second season, the overhauled series became The New Temperatures Rising Show and Capital General was transformed into a private medical facility owned by Martha Mercy (Sudie Bond) and run by her penny-pinching son Paul (Paul Lynde). Cleavon Little was the sole survivor of the original cast. Due to plummeting ratings, the network cancelled the show mid-season, but resuscitated it - with still more changes in cast (most notably, Alice Ghostley replaced Bond in the role of Paul's sister Edwina) and premise - in the summer of 1974, when it ran for two months before being cancelled permanently.
