Reception
Checking In was first on CBS on April 9, 1981, and lasted for only four episodes in the Thursday, 8:00 p.m. EST time. The show had low ratings, and was cancelled, with the final episode airing on April 30, 1981. Gibbs then returned to her regular role on The Jeffersons and it was said that the St. Frederick Hotel had burned down.
Checking In was the first All in the Family spin-off show that did not do good, which was different from The Jeffersons, Maude and Maude spin-off Good Times. More tries to do spin-offs after Checking In were also not good like (Gloria in the 1982-1983 season and 704 Hauser in 1994).
