:crying: Not a cause for celebration. However I will watch some episodes later as I always do, and curse Bill Paley from here to kingdom come. Again, as I always do.

It's the cruel way in which it got canned. They were all set to go for the 4th season, and Sherwood Schwartz, God rest his soul, had to phone them all individually to break the news. Apparently some of them had bought houses on the strength of knowing they had been renewed. I bet the very people who canned it were the first to rake in the $$$$$ from re-runs.
