Was there a reason? Was she doing other things? Just curious???

To quote James L.Brooks "she was busy".

I think Cloris would probably have done more in the early years but thats

just my opinion but her appearances went down to three a season in later

seasons.

Thats why the spinoff Phyllis seemed odd as her appearances on MTM had

gone down,I asume after the smash hit "Rhoda",they wanted to try again

with Phyllis.

Because a little Phyllis goes a long, long ways.
