Once Suzanne Somers left the show in 1981 the show was never the same. They tried to replace her with characters like her cousin Cindy and Terri but they both weren’t anywhere close to Suzanne’s comedic greatness and they tried to make Cindy like her but it only made things worse to the point where they had to replace her since the ratings were going down. I’m currently on season 6 on my binge watch and let me say this has been the most boring and forgettable season due to the storylines were dragged out and uninspiring and Terri is pretty boring and nothing special. I don’t even know what seasons 7 and 8 will be like. I feel that if Suzanne didn’t leave the show would still end at 8 seasons but she would still bring more funny moments and laughs and her departure was basically the end of the show.
