The series premiered September 19, 1993 on CBS.[1] It centered on Dunaway's character, a Network-like businesswoman, who hires blue-collar Urich (a single father of three boys) to do some carpentry work at her Boston office, and their ensuing romance. Music by Stephen James Taylor. The theme song was the 1924 hit "It Had to Be You" written by Isham Jones. Cast
ProductionFour episodes were aired before the show went into hiatus. Faye Dunaway was pulled from the series, and a new pilot was ordered with the focus being on Robert Urich's character coping with life as a single father. Robin Bartlett, who had played an assistant to Dunaway's character, would also continue in the series, being moved up from supporting character to co-lead. However, her character would not be not a romantic partner for Urich. [2] Although a new pilot was shot, the revised version of the series never aired. The series was produced by Warner Bros. Television.[3] The show premiered eleven days after the cancellation of The Trouble with Larry, another series co-created by Andrew Nicholls and Darrell Vickers (and which lasted only three episodes). When It Had To Be You was cancelled after four episodes, it gave Nicholls and Vickers the unusual distinction of overseeing two of the earliest-to-be-cancelled new shows of the same TV season. EpisodesNine episodes are registered with the United States Copyright Office.
ReceptionKen Tucker of Entertainment Weekly rated the series a C+ and called it "one of the season's vaguest, most ambivalent new sitcoms". Tucker described the casting of "odd-couple lovers" Urich and Dunaway as "almost perversely capricious".[4] Tony Scott, reviewing the pilot in Variety, criticized the "thin script" and "lumpy badinage". Noting that the show would premiere with a special "preview glimpse" in the slot after 60 Minutes, Scott concluded that "a glimpse should be enough".[5] David Hiltbrand of People magazine gave It Had to Be You a grade of C-. He praised supporting actor Bartlett's performance, but felt Dunaway "seems quite uncomfortable doing comedy", and found the way her character was written to be "repulsive". Overall, Hiltbrand characterized the show as "brittle, artificial, tiresome and devoid of romantic chemistry."[6] CBS cancelled It Had to Be You in October 1993 after four episodes due to low ratings.
