Hanging In is an American sitcom that aired for four episodes on CBS on Wednesday nights from August 8, 1979 to August 29, 1979.

After his failed attempt to launch the sitcom Mr. Dugan, Norman Lear reworked the project, finally coming up with Hanging In, the story of Lou Harper, a former professional football star who becomes president of fictional Braddock University. Bill Macy (who had played Maude's husband, Walter Findlay, in Maude) resurfaced as the star of the version that finally did air, in August 1979. Most of the supporting cast of Mr. Dugan and its several different incarnations appeared in Hanging In.

Hanging In lasted just four weeks on CBS, leaving the air after its August 29, 1979 broadcast.
