While there is no doubt that Nancy Travis is talented and there was some chemistry between Becker and Chris, the show was just never the same after the loss of Reggie (Terry Farrell's character) Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, the show was exemplary with the original cast and given the tension between Becker and Reggie, it was well worth watching, even if romance hadn't exactly bloomed yet. Terry, you were done wrong, honey and a lot of people stopped watching the show right then, as your absence was truly felt.

Agreed, for a while I sure expected Reggie to come back... then as episode after episode went by and soon she wasn't even mentioned any more, I knew something was amiss... so I looked it up on Wikipedia.

There was a real loss of chemistry and magic when Reggie left , followed by Bob. I just recently finished watching seasons 5 & 6 again. I was never a fan of the character Chris. Those first few episodes with her were painful. A know it all busy body...who seemed to have an endless wealth of life experience...

Reggie's presence alone was enough. Not over the top or in your face , just enough...which added to the chemistry of all the characters and made it work. Where-as the character Chris was a little more forced...

Bob was always such a great character. A street wise New Yorker...blowing in the door jacked up on coffee! Hector had his moments in the last series but nothing to the depth Bob brought to the show.
