However, electronic turn signals were standard as early as the 1940’s. It doesn’t help that the opening credits of every episode show an electronic turn signal being used.

Tropes from the 1987-88 TV Series:
* CriticalResearchFailure: In the season one finale, "Born To Ride", Diane gets her driver’s license. She becomes a victim of a staged accident where the other driver claims to have given an arm signal (which drivers used prior to the invention of flashing turn signals) that Diane did not see. However, electronic turn signals were standard as early as the 1940’s. It doesn’t help that the opening credits of every episode show an electronic turn signal being used.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The show was never reran after its original airing (save for the pilot movie on Lifetime.) Only those who saved their VHS recordings were able to re-watch until the DVD set was released in 2012.
* ScrewedByTheNetwork: The show had respectable ratings in its Sunday night time slot during the first season. However, NBC gave it the FridayNightDeathSlot in the second season and the show was cancelled after twelve episodes.
