Due to the popularity of the Nick Moore character, three versions of a spin-off were produced. In the first incarnation titled Taking It Home, Nick returns to Detroit to live with his sister and grandfather (portrayed by Herschel Bernardi).[1] After Bernardi's death in May 1986, the series was canceled.[2] The second version features Nick working in a day care center for juvenile delinquents.[1]

In the final version, Nick, his sister (Kristine Sutherland) and her son (John Daman) live together in an East Village apartment with Nick working in a bookstore.[1]

The Art of Being Nick aired on August 27, 1987.[2] Despite garnering solid ratings, NBC didn't pick the series up reportedly due to the network's reluctance to lose the popular Nick character from Family Ties.[2]
