Yes or no?

I think 6 was a good enough number to put the cap on. By season 6 (1989), the Owens kids were grown-up and getting ready to move on with their own lives. Not to mention, a 14-year-old Brice Beckham still playing tricks on Belvedere was not really the best idea.

I doubt it...they probably would have brought in a 7-or-8-year-old little boy cousin or something to terrorize Wesley, and we all know how well adding a youngster to the cast goes in the last season of a show...

It's hard to say because by season 6 it seemed like they had jumped the shark and started getting episodes that were too zany, I mean the one where Belvedere has to rid himself of a curse that gives him multiple personalities was just way out of character.

Maybe a season 7 would have been nice to see if the show could recapture some of that spirit from the earlier seasons but I wouldnt see it past that.

We're in what, season 5? I'm already rolling my eyes at some of the more over-the-top episodes, like when Belvedere's British cousin comes to kill him or one of today's eps, with George and Marsha forced to work as part of the crew on a freight ship. Just typing those descriptions makes me cringe.

I'm thinking they ended right where they needed to. They didn't get to the point of making desperate additions to the cast, which is a really good thing.

I'm still baffled how both Heather *and* Angela were practically throwing themselves at that debate team student (aka 'nerd').

Not to mention the fact that the ABC executives just weren't giving the show the proper respect it deserved, largely due to them preferring to give special treatment to the shows on their schedule which were produced by Miller-Boyett Productions, i.e. Full House, Perfect Strangers, and Family Matters.

And Full House and Family Matters were both shows that were popular with kids that seeing them now as an adult they are wretchedly bad that it's hard to stomach the syruppy sappiness.

Mr. Belvedere on the other hand I remember it not being that quite popular with kids as it didn't rely on physical comedy but on smart writing such as when Belvedere and George are trading friendly insults that seeing it now as an adult I can understand and appreciate it's subtleness.

Actually, I think it should've ended with season 5. Once Wesley started maturing, the show lost its touch. The relationship between Belvedere and young prankster Wesley is what made this show great.
