My fault it did, but I guess I included it because the show was still in the top 30

I love Lucy, Andy Griffith Show and Seinfeld....the only shows to end their runs ranked # 1.

MWC was never a highly ranked show. Maybe a Highly rated Fox show but not high enough to be in the Neilsens top 20

I wouldn't say Full House, because it's first season ranked #78 of all shows, which is nowhere close to being good, even thought it was in the top 20 for seasons 3-8.

And, some could say Three's Company, even though it wass #31 for its final season. Another good one is Home Improvement. It never left the top 10 for its 8 seasons.

Who's the Boss? was like #60-something in it's last season, but that wasn't the shows fault. It was ABC's fault for moving the show to Saturday nights.

True & it's a shame to think that T.A.G.S. achieved it's only #1 ranking during the 8th and final season. During it's 8 year run, It never dropped below #7 which is still very respectable but never being ranked #1 during it's black & white years is kinda hard to believe.
