After being cancelled after 4 seasons on ABC, Webster returned for 2 more seasons in 1st-run syndication.

The Papadopolis household gained a new member in George's nephew Nicky (Corin Nemec), who moved in when his parents went off to work in Nigeria, on assignment for the United Nations.

Nicky provided Webster with a sort of "brother figure", and the two got along famously. However, Nicky was gone from the show at the start of season six.
