"Filthy Rich" returned to the air on Wednesday, October 5. Nestled between "Alice" and "Tucker's Witch" and opposite the new series "Family Ties", ratings quickly plummeted; "Filthy Rich" ranked #60 in the weekly TV ratings by the end of October. In November, six weeks into the show's second season, all three series were yanked off the schedule and replaced with "The CBS Wednesday Movie". "Filthy Rich" returned to the schedule by January 1983 — on Monday nights, sandwiched between "Square Pegs" and "M*A*S*H". Ratings didn't improve. It aired for a month before being pulled from the schedule again. The remaining two episodes aired in June, after the series had officially been canceled.
