Was Doris Day Hard to Get Along With?

[icecream]

The drastic change in format I have heard about at the start of season 4 where her entire family is Chuck Cunninghamed. McLean Stevenson and Rose Marie also left, which is not surprising with him. At the end of season 3 is when he left M*A*S*H as well. If Doris was like her pushy character in today's episodes (wouldn't listen to her father when he doesn't want to retire from farming, then obstructing traffic because she didn't like what was coming out of a taxi), maybe she didn't want anyone else getting full royalties from the show. Also, in the 10:30 episode it was still season 3 but McLean Stevenson wasn't her boss there, some colonel replaced him.

I just saw this episode about the air pollution in San Francisco killing her azalea plants.

Rose Marie is there but no McLean Stevenson.

I recognize the tall "hippie" chick who was dancing with the two generic sons at the start of the episode but can't remember her name. Is she also a regular on the show at this point?

Not sure. I have only seen 5 episodes total so far, three from season 3 today and the first two from season 2 a few weeks ago. So I am not familiar with this show like some.

Same here, in fact, I haven't been able to catch any more episodes since catching the ones I've mentioned, a few weeks ago.

I noticed that my local library has some DVD collections of the Doria Day Show, so I might watch those soon.
