I liked Sue Ann, too, and felt like there was a lot more they could explore with that character ('80sSitcoms made
a most excellent guide to how all the girls could have been given decent roles, and it has Sue Ann, not Jo (who would never have worn a dress that early in the show) being invited to the ritzy wing-ding cotillion, Sue Ann rather than tough street punk Jo who decides to become a nun, etc.)
I agree that HOTC could have continued if Howard Hesseman had stayed on, but he hated his own show, weirdly enough. And Billy was so over-the-top I couldn't watch that final season.
