- "It's Your Move" debuted in the fall of 1984, and I really loved the show. In this video, I discuss the series and why it was, to my disappointment, cancelled after it's first season. #JasonBateman #ItsYourMove #80sTVshows

I loved this show, particularly when he created a fictitious rock band called the Dregs of Humanity.
I remember that too.
That was AWESOME!
That episode is on CZcams

I remember they got a call from the Palladium to have the band play there!
Wasn't their new album morning breath?
This show was SO great! Hate they cancelled it.
I totally agree! Thanks for watching!

I was 13 when this show came out and it's all me and my circle of misfits ever talked about in 1984. We absolutely loved this show and were devastated when we heard that suburban moms everywhere were freaking out. We knew they were going to doom us. I always loved Derrick from Silver Spoons so this always felt like a spinoff to me. Great show that deserved another few seasons at least. Thanks for the vid!
You're absolutely welcome! Thanks for watching. I totally agree, the show should have lasted a few more seasons at a minimum. It was really good.
czcams.com/play/PLSj6moQX2BM1p8CYr441_qiKR1NttG_CM.html
Why were suburban moms freaking out? Was it because the kid was a con artist, or something? I never watched the show. As great as I think he is these days, I couldn't stand him as a kid, he turned my stomach then.
@@farrellmcnulty909 that's why parents didn't like him.
Yup, my nerdy junior high friends and I loved this show. We talked about writing letters when it was canceled. Part of the great quilt of fun pop culture of the early '80s.
I was 14 in 1984 and "may" have tried to copy some of Bateman's antics. But I swear my mom never wrote the network. This was a fantastic show, and hearing the theme song from the opening credits brings back great memories. My all-time favorite episode (much like many others) was Dregs of Humanity!!! I remember being totally bummed when the second episode was pre-empted. Finally got to see it here on CZcams! Thanks for the background info on this great show!
You’re welcome! Thanks for sharing your comments !

I was 14 and I was crushed when they cancelled the show back then but I'm glad I can go down memory lane on CZcams and watch every episode.
CZcams is amazing for that exact reason!
I loved it's your move! I was obsessed with Jason Bateman as a young girl. I went to back to back tapings of this show. It was the 2 parter for Dregs of Humanity! I love that I got to see it filmed live and both parts!
That’s a cool story! Thanks for sharing Debbie!
That must've been a great experience.

Wow! So it really was YOUR move!
I loved this show. Jason Bateman was brilliant in this sitcom.
Yes, definitely a very talented actor at an early age. Thanks for watching my video!
Yes! We had found our new favorite family show to watch, and as fast as that happened it was canceled. I was showing this to my dad today and he said he never knew why they cancelled that so quickly. Well, now we know. Thank you so much for this blast from the past.🙋🏼♀️
👍
So glad to see others enjoyed this show as much as I do. I was heartbroken 💔 I still watch it on Crackle.
I didn’t know it was on Crackle. Thanks for sharing that info!
I watched it on USA Network. Hated the opening credits. But the main character was Ferris Bueller before Ferris Bueller.
I can definitely see a similarity to Ferris Bueller.
I liked the opening credits with the checkerboard.
@@sha11235
I liked it too.
Ferris and many other characters including this one are just modifications of Eddie Haskell
I just discovered this amazing show right here on CZcams. I absolutely love it! Jason Bateman's character could easily be an early version of Ferris Bueller. This show was way ahead of its time!
So true! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I was 10 and was devastated when they canceled it, back then there weren't as many options to watch as there is today so when as show was canceled back then it felt like you lost family members
Great analogy! Thanks!

For all you 45 to 55 yr olds who loved It's Your Move, you can currently watch it on CZcams. Us older folks loved this show also. If anyone knows where a dvd of this show, if it exists, let me know. The over 60 year olds loved this show also!
Thanks for sharing that information David!
I use to watch it with my dad. I was a teenager and he was in his late 30s. But even he liked it back then and he grew up with watching Dobie Gillis in the early 60s.

This was my favorite show, I was the same age as the kids. I was so sad they cancelled it. We would laugh hysterically for the whole week over the jokes.
Great comments! I was about the same age as well and thought Bateman was so funny!
Loved this show, it was only 18 episodes but still remember it vividly after 30 years

All 17 full episodes are on CZcams. I just rewatched all of them. Awesome show.
Thanks for sharing this information!
I loved this show and was so disappointed when it was canceled.
I was as well! Thanks for watching my video!
I still count this as one of my all time favorite shows. I do remember toward the last few episodes, they tried to give Matt some comeuppance, which I didnt like, lol. They probably felt pressured by those letter writers. I can see where having an underage lead with mostly self serving, (but charming) morals, was problematic, but it was indulgent, smart and so funny. He was loyal to Eli, and even to his sister if the chips were down. I loved the episode where you think Matt is going to take Eli's broken date to the dance, Shes made a heart rending speech that she just wanted to be seen at the dance with somebody, someone finally wanting her. Next we see her walk into the dance with Norman, who was indebted to Matt. The girl was happy with her tall new date, and the way it turned sentimental expectations upside down was great comedic structure.
Susan, thanks for watching my video!

45 year old dad, I remember It’s Your Move and the dad eventually played on MarriedWith Children. (David Garrison) I was only 9 when this debuted and Jason was about to really blow and of course Justine Bateman was 😍 THE TRUTH! 😍 He was THE MAN as Derrick Taylor on Silver Spoons, the new school Eddie Haskell if you will. I LIVED FOR WWF/NWA /AWA/World Class Wrestling, Silver Spoons, Transforners, What’s Happening Now, Laverne & Shirley, Knight Rider, Alice, Diff’rent Strokes, Who’s The Boss and all the other usual suspects too! Jason Bateman is my guy for real for real! More content and I’ll be subbing here too! Give Dave a ring from his Louisville Connect! Thanks!
Thanks for your comments Rico! We liked A LOT of the same shows. I just got back from playing Pickle Ball with my bro, I'll be sure to let him know you said "hi". And yes, the plan is to continue to put out more content. Thanks!
Me too I had a blast in 80's for me it was it's your move family ties facts of life knight rider a team Magnum fall guy tj hooker hunter who's the boss married with children growing pains silver spoons punky brewster webster diff'rent strokes gimme a break what's happening and now happy days Mork & Mindy ALF transformers pro wrestling wwf nwa awa cwa everything that's 80's I lived and breathed it
He wasn't the dad, David Garrison, but the next door neighbor who was dating Matt's mom. David got his role on MWC through this, because the same creators were behind both shows and loved working with him on IYM that they wrote the Steve character for David.
@@sha11235 that is exactly right ✅
Jason Bateman matured alot in between the year its your move was cancelled and when Valerie premiered. I wonder if that would have changed the Matt Norman dynamic. Bateman soon became the real star of Valerie which is why producers felt they could do the show without Valerie Harper when she threatned to quit. In a way its your move not being renewed for a second season played a part in Valerie Harper being fired from her own show
Great comments! Thanks!
They would have had a classic hit for sure, if the networks had only supported the show and not bowed to the parental complaints. The fact that it was generating controversy is a sign that it people were interested in it!
100% in agreement! Thanks!
czcams.com/play/PLSj6moQX2BM1p8CYr441_qiKR1NttG_CM.html
The ratings weren't great as it went up against Dynasty so I guess the network figured it wasn't worth the trouble
Great show. I was 14 and remember it fondly. Loved the show and was super bummed when it was canceled. I wish someone would create a network of all the great canceled sitcoms from the 70s and 80s. I am sure there are a ton.
Great comments Joe! That would be a really cool idea for a network as well. I’d tune in!
@@stephensundstrom6379 Think about how many series and pilots back from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s were canceled after one season or even a few episodes. Honestly there are probably tens of thousands. All sitting in a warehouse somewhere rotting. They could probably be purchased for next to nothing. I would love to see something like that. Off the top of my head I remember a couple short lived spin offs I would love to see again, The Tortellis (1987) Cheers spin off and The Michael Richards Show (Seinfeld spin off).
@@joes9545
Wow I don't remember the Michael Richards show.
@@nickhill8612 You should check it out. It’s on CZcams. He plays a private detective. I thought episode 1 was hilarious. But it bombed miserably.
There were a lot of great shows back then. There are very few shows on now that I like. Most of the time I'm watching old classics that I have recorded over the years on DVD. I have a pretty big collection!
Really thought I was the only one who remembered this show. Hilariously-written, risque, and ahead of its time. One episode I fondly remember and still laugh about is "Love Letters". Wish there was somewhere I could watch the entire series because my local station didn't air the last several episodes due to the angry letters the show got.
Raja - Thanks for your comments! That’s too bad you didn’t get to see the final episodes. I wish this show could be put on a streaming platform.
The episodes are all on youtube at this moment.
The original digital transfers are now being seen for the first time in glorious Hi-Res quality on various platforms, including right here at youtube. Download them NOW and enjoy the glory days, again, my friend. They NEVER looked so good!

I still watch this short lived show all the time.
👍
I was 15 when It's your Move aired and absolutely LOVED it and was crushed when I heard it was cancelled, I guess the only brightside is without that we would never haven gotten that great philosopher who once scored 4 TDs in a game Al Bundy!
👍
It didn’t even last a full season. But it was a great tragedy that it was cancelled so fast. People suck.
👍
Yes they do! This show was innocent and funny. They left on other shows that were bad influences.
Bateman was also on a one season show called Chicago Sons during the 90s.
Thanks for sharing that additional info!
I'll have to CZcams it.
Great video dude so glad I found your channel thanks to your brother
Thanks Dan!
Thank you!!! I always watched it and wondered why it got canceled.
Sure thing!
I remember this show and I loved it too. It was the opposite of Cosby, which was the popular thing at the time. NBC wimps caved in to the pressure they got from mothers who wrote in saying their kids were copying Matt's behavior. And the same creators did an unsold pilot before MWC called She's With Me, that is on youtube as well. RIP to Ron Leavitt, one of the creators.
I don’t remember She’s With Me. I’ll have to look at that. Thanks for commenting!
@@stephensundstrom6379 It's on here. Type "unsold pilots". It should come up.
@@sha11235
I'll have to check it out thank you.
I love pretty much everything Jason Bateman is in...but I've got to admit I barely remember this show!
It was great! It might have been while you were living in Spain.
I definitely remember it and really thought he was great in it. The main reason I watched I guess is because he was Justine Bateman's brother and I loved Family Ties. Jason has always been a talented actor. I watched him on Valerie/Hogan Family.
I loved the show as a kid. But as I recall, his mom caught him burning papers in her boss's office toward the end of the first season. Once he got caught, they really couldn't go anywhere with the series. I remember the next episode was about a soccer game where Eli was playing goalie, and went away from the regular theme of the series.
Great comments! Thanks Jason!
That was probably done due to the network demanding the changes. Otherwise that wouldn't have happened.
@@sha11235 agree. The show was probably under contract, so they couldn't just end it early. I guess they were trying to see if the show could work without Matt being a con-artist. It really didn't work. I'd really like to see Peacock bring back this show, but I guess it would only work if they could get Jason Bateman to do it.

Loved the show, saw his character from Ozark as this kid all grown up.

Always felt bigger guns or maybe even Jason Bateman’s desire to move on to greener pastures.. that show was brilliant while it lasted ❤

I loved this show!
It was so funny!
I was so in love with Jason ! I watched exclusively for him🥰

i dont remember exactly when i saw this show but i was only 12 in 84, it seems like i was closer to 14 or 15 when i saw it on some channel on cable. i remember it was only on for a very short time and i probably only caught 4 or episodes but i really loved it and then it was gone, i kept going back to that channel at the night or time where it had been airing and it was just gone. its one of only 2 TV shows from the 80s that wasnt successful and that i have ever actually searched for, but i havent seen it in decades though i see there are episodes here on youtube. this show along with Valerie gave me sort of a man crush on Bateman for years. but then he seemed to sort of disappear to me through the whole 90s, but in 2001 he showed up out of nowhere on my tv again with another series i liked but was cancelled after only one season "Some Of My Best Friends". it had a cheesy premise and probably would be seen as offensive now, where a really kind of macho New Jersey Italian actor "i thought it was a blatant try at having a Joey character" accidently becomes room mates with a gay guy. but i liked it, partially because i liked a lot of the cast. and after that he seemed to have his carrer going pretty good again so i was/am happy for him. ive just always liked that guy.
I don’t remember “Some Of My Best Friends”. I’ll have to look for that online. Thanks for sharing your comments!
I loved this show hated it got canceled.
Me too!
I liked this show!! I remember it and was shocked cancelled after 1 season.
👍
One of the best shows ever. Jason Bateman-Legend Child Actor.The writing - mindblowing. The cast - Pure Chemistry. I was around their age and didn't replicate any of Matt's Scams. We knew it was make-believe, What if! etc. If the series was axed because of children copying Matt's antics, it's just another thing we have lost at the mercy of stupid children and their unqualified parents. Great to see Jason Bateman in some great movies too. He is fortunate to have 2 acting careers. Legend
I totally agree! If you’re a Bateman fan, you might also like the podcast, “Smartless”, which he’s part of with Will Arnett and Sean Hayes.
@@stephensundstrom6379 Great. I will check it out!
Parent's complaining is what caused the cancelation...the formula for the show was genius, but once parents started the initial complaints they totally toned down the show...there was an episode where Matts mother catches him in the act and he then confessed all his shenanigans to her..from that point till the end the show wasnt quite the same anyway as Matt wasnt highlighted as much and he didnt perform anymore cons....but still it didnt deserve the ax....if the parents across the country didnt complain and Its your move stayed the way it was it would have went down as one of the best comedies of all time
Totally agree!
One of the best shows out there as a kid. Sad it was cancelled. It was up there with the likes of the twilight zone and leave it to beaver
I totally agree! I also loved The Twilight Zone.
I've never seen this show; however the plot is extremely intriguing. I wish it'd stuck around a bit longer.
I wish it’d stuck around longer as well!
It is on the Crackle app
Like everyone else I was a huge fan. And disappointed when it was canceled. The writers were hilarious and Jason Bateman had an incredible gift of timing. He and Garrison worked incredible together. But looking back, I wonder how long the concept could have sustained itself. Fresh story lines would have become harder to come by. Eventually viewers would have become bored of Matthews’ antics, despite the jokes. I had always thought the network realizing this decided to cancel. Thanks for setting the record straight. Thanks for the vid. I’m glad I found it.👍
You’re very welcome and thanks for watching!
Saved by the bell ran for 4 years with Zach's antics.
They wrote off the character of Derek on Silver Spoons so his show could be on. I loved it even if Matthew was a con artist because you could see a kid's fantasy come true. Nown the neighbor was one of my favorite characters, particularly when he would outwit Matthew.
👍
I was only 6 in 1984 so I didn't watch the show but I recently discovered it and it's awesome!
I can't help but think the main character from the original Saved by the Bell, Zak Morris, was based off of Jason Bateman's character in It's Your Move.
👍
Wow! Bro I was a tv freak as a kid. A walking TV guide! I looooved this show & was sick when it didn't come back for season 2. JB is one of my favorite actors and is 364 days older than me... 1/14/69 - 1/13/70... nuts.
👍
I also loved the show. I had no idea what happened. Thanks

To add, IYM was put by NBC into competition with the soap opera Dynasty, which was popular at the time.
A great callout and that is a true fact! Thanks for sharing that additional info Andrew!
I always felt that Jason Bateman was the main star of Silver Spoons. What an Actor. Fantastic! And still is to this day ?
Still a fantastic actor! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
And proved to be a much better actor than Ricky Schroeder.
I loved this show and hated it when it was cancelled I always figured it was because the mom was in the movie My Tutor but I was a kid and now realize that there is no reason for that to be the reason
👍
Who here remembers watching Silver Spoons waiting for Bateman to show up?
I do!
@@stephensundstrom6379 And then It's Your Move was every guy's favorite show that watched it at the time. The battle of wits between Matt and Norman was like nothing else!

I loved It's Your Move, I remember watching it when it originally aired even though I was pretty young, I don't recall being shocked I didn't really know what the term cancellation meant, I just remember one night it being on then it not being there anymore till USA Network started repeating the series.
Thanks for your comments Matthew!

Jason is like a brother i feel like I grew up with. I followed him from Little House (not a great seaaon but it wasn't his fault) to Silver Spoons (awful show but he's very funny in it) to It's Your Move and beyond. I loved IYM and saw every episode that season. It meant more to me than any show airing at that time. Boneheaded move from NBC programmers to put it on Wednesdays against Dynasty, the #1 show in those days.
Great comments and I totally agree with your assessment of NBC’s placement of IYM against Dynasty. Thanks for watching my video!

I remember my older sister married, moved to town and got cable. She video taped many rerun episodes of It's Your Move for my dad.
That’s awesome! I haven’t seen many since the show was canceled.

Wish its your move stayed on tv. I wasnt that kid who would scheme like the character Matt. The show was like they say ahead of its time.
So true!
' It's Your Move' was basically a early uptake from Ferris Bueller only to lose out to ABC's Dynasty later on.
The series seemed like a funnier opposite of Alex Keaton's character from Family Ties.
👍
It sucked that this Great Show was Canceled Especially after the Dreggs of Humanity show. I wanted MORE

I met Jason Bateman once in a cookaroo referenced a scene from the show that he did not remember lol
Hilarious! Thanks for sharing!
Loved this show!!!! I tape recorded it when i was a kid, it was so witty
I loved it as well! Thanks!
I find it funny that NBC cancelled this show because parents were concerned of Matt's antics...but a few years later another con artist made his debut on NBC, by the name of Zack Morris
Ah....Zack Morris! I need to do a video on him :)
Funny show. Very popular at the time. The Dregs of Humanity is the most memorable episode.

Those are both great suggestions! Thanks.

Me too! Some cancellations just don't make sense.
Looved this show and faithfully tuned in each week. If only to see how he was going to secretly slip money _to_ his mom. Welcome switch on the usual 'bad kid' stealing from the 'rents, and causing them major worries.
So true! Thanks for your comments!
If you watched this show in the 80s, you remember wanting to be Jason Bateman on the show.

Married With Children got even more complaints, but Fox didn't care. They were on a roll and had nothing to lose...
You’re right! Fox was definitely the right network at the right time.
Well, Fox did ride out the storm, but there was one episode they didn't air originally. They also started to put in a censor.
@@sha11235 It was “I’ll See You In Court”. The episode didn’t air until a few years later. I thought it was quite tame, but you have to consider the era and time when it took place.

Times sure have changed. The reason for the cancellation is nuts. I remember playing dodge ball in the 5th grade which is outlawed today.

You should look up a movie of hers called "My Tutor".
I loved this show! Back then they would shut down anything if you breathe wrong the show. How can you blame a show when it their fault for bad parenting. They used to get on my nerves with that. When it’s not the show but the neglect to teach your child right from wrong! I remember watching this show and I loved it. I sad that this is the reason why it was canceled. But we didn’t get married with children out of it.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and watching my video!
Great show for the 1st half of it's run, culminating with the 2 part Dregs of Humanity. I was so psyched for part 2, which I never got to see due to President Reagan's national speech that aired instead. Never saw the part 2 until about 35 years later on CZcams. The remaining episodes lacked as they were under fire to tone down Matthew's antics. It was Matthew's antics that made the show, so when that was gone, the show wasn't as good. Still one of my favorite shows, however
👍
I remember watching it a few times. Thought it was excellent. Shocked it was only on one season.
I totally agree! Thanks Kevin!
Sounds like a good show. I don’t remember it-was only 7 years old. Wonder what my family watched back then???🤔

For some reason, I actually remember this show. Lol.
I know....I can't even remember why I was thinking about this show the last week, but I was, so I decided to do the video on it. Thanks for watching!
Stephen Sundstrom That was the golden age of TV for me (ironically it was when ABC, NBC, CBS ruled). I was thinking a lot about this era during the lockdown. In 2020, we have hundreds of channels and countless streaming networks and there are only a handful of decent shows to watch. Back in the 70’s/80’s and into the 90’s, you had a zillion sitcoms to watch from 8-10 and than the adult shows like St Elsewhere, Dallas LA Law and Hill St Blues were usually on at 10:00.
I missed the era of great sitcoms because you could enjoy them every night as it was easy watching to unwind with the whole family. Now most streaming/cable dramas are a tougher watch and you get burned out after you binge it.
I guess my point is that I remember this show cause I would watch anything back in the day if it followed a great show (time slot was so important). Where I was bored out of my mind during the lockdown as tv in 2020 is sort of overrated. Yes there are great shows, but not the quantity of the 70’s/80’s/90’s.
i hated Jason Bateman when he was a kid, which was mean on my part as I was 22 at the time. It was one thing hating stars close to my age, but he was just a kid back then. But now that's all turned around. I flipped for Arrested Development. I thought it was one of the most maddeningly perfect sitcoms I've ever seen and I never missed an episode. After "Arrested" was on for a while, I saw this movie he did with Mellissa McCarthy which was a cinematic miscarriage that unfortunately continued living. It was one of the worst movies I've ever seen, but what kept me watching til the end was his performance. He was also great in Horrible Bosses.
Love him in Horrible Bosses! And yes, Arrested Development was "maddeningly perfect". Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for watching my video!
I wanted to be like Matthew (Jason Bateman) haha.
To bad it wasn't on Fox.
Does anyone remember when a lady complained about Married with children?
Her complaints didn't work.
I don’t remember that. Something I’ll have to look into.
@@stephensundstrom6379 Terry Rikola was upset about an episode she'd heard was in the making and tried to get the episode banned, and possibly cancel the series as well. But then, within the past year, you've probably found all this out anyway.
Same!

Great show that should have been given a chance
I totally agree! It got canceled way too soon.
They wanted to replace it with Double Trouble's second season.
Terrible choice! Double Trouble was okay, but It’s Your Move was better.
So did you love it and watch it every week or do you barely remember it?
Well, I did love it and I do remember watching it religiously, but of course that was 35 years ago.
Stephen Sundstrom Ha! I understand. Well hey there I just realized that wasn’t written by you but by David

It might have been my favorite show at the time as well. Thanks!
