Final Season Format Change - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Over the past weekend Decades featured an Our Miss Brooks binge-a-thon, this is the first time I have seen this show, my question, why did the show change formats in season 4? (From what I understand the rating for season 2 and 3 were good and steady, season 4 the rating went south and show was cancelled)

I saw 3 episodes on DEcades when they were running their weekend binge. I am currently seeing the end of season 3 on METV and hope METV goes forward to season 4. I did like the change of format. The new characters are nice change. It is the first time I saw a bit of a classroom. One thing has puzzled me on this show is, is rare to see Connie teaching. She's with Mr Boyton, Mrs Davis, Osgood, Walter or Harriet. I sort got tired of Connie trying to catch Mr Boyton plot.

Maybe the writers got sick of Connie chasing Boynton, too. It'll be interesting to see the 4th season (I see S4 Ep 1 in the on-screen TV Guide). All I've seen of it is the Christmas episode a couple of weeks ago.

That episode the other day with Connie's evil twin, "Bonnie", was the funniest one I've seen. There is another one coming up this week, according to TV Guide.

Bonnie and Connie were funny. In the season 4 episodes I find Mrs Davis has a change in personality. If I were Connie I have her checked out by a doctor. Sound like Mrs Davis the poor lady has a start of dementia.

I read an interview with Eve in which she described Season 4 as not working well. I can't recall just how she put it, but she made a comment about everyone in the cast somehow needing to get through that season.

Anyway, from everything she said, it was obvious she did not think the changes were good.
