NBC's idea for this mid-season replacement was to offer highlights from NBC programs of the previous week -- i.e. Top Ten lists from David Letterman, one-liners from Cheers and The Golden Girls. Even though there was a good cast (host Carl Reiner, and contributors Merrill Markoe, Linda Ellerbee and Harry Shearer) Sunday Best was little more than an hour-long infomercial for NBC programming.
