Also around that time, two decades after the brief, unsuccessful television adaptation of "Easy Aces", someone else was willing to give the concept a fresh television try: a number of the original "Easy Aces" radio scripts were adapted for the Canadian CTV Television Network show "The Trouble with Tracy" in 1970. However, though 130 episodes of this series were produced (all in 1970/71), and the show was re-run well into the 1980s on Canadian TV, "The Trouble With Tracy" was regarded as an almost unqualified disaster on a creative level. This had less to do with the scripts, however, and more with the incredible cheapness of the production. Seven episodes were filmed every five days on wobbly sets, with almost no time for rehearsal for either the actors or the technical crew—flubbed lines and bloopers sometimes ended up airing in finished episodes, because the show could not afford retakes. Ultimately, "The Trouble With Tracy" is often cited, especially in Canada, as the worst sitcom ever made. Note, though, that while Ace had a hand in the modern adaptation of the scripts, neither he nor Jane Ace appeared in it, and neither played any part in the actual production of the series.
