American television sitcom Gimme a Break aired on NBC for six seasons from October 29, 1981, to May 12, 1987. It was created by writers and producers Mort Lachman and Sy Rosen and was produced by Mort Lachman and Associates for the entire series and Alan Landsburg Productions, later renamed as Reeves Entertainment Group. In the early ‘80s, NBC was struggling. The network only had two successful comedies on the air: Different Strokes and The Facts of Life. They were desperate for a hit but after they looked at all their comedy pilots for the upcoming broadcast season, they quickly realized that none of them was going to cut it. They went back to the drawing board and came up with the concept of a show centred on a white widower raising his teenage girls with the help of their black maid. Fred Silverman, then president of NBC, had one specific person in mind to play the role of the maid: a Broadway star named Nell Carter. When approached with the offer, she jumped at the opportunity.
