The naturalness of Doherty's bratty but earnest characterization helped make the show a hit by the end of its first season (1990-91).

A court-appointed arbitrator will soon rule on whether 230 players with guaranteed contracts must be paid in spite of the lockout, and that could put pressure on the side that loses to settle the dispute.
