Did the show get strangely reactive the last few seasons - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Where the girls lost a lot of their independence and personality?

Like after Betty Jo married Steve, she lost all of her tomboyish traits of being capable of fixing a car or hitting a softball and lost all her spirit. She would cry in her cottage if something went wrong.

The one who liked to read and wanted to be a writer (Bobbie Jo) became a ditz and was just focused on her goofy ranger boyfriend.

That article is incredibly riddled with typos, for example:

"DONALD OCONNER SHOW" (should be O'Connor)
Woodell sometimes written as "Woodall"
"...returned the happy s when fe Maria" what? Wife Maria?

and do we need to be told twice that Henning provided the voice of Jethrine? The author apparently never bothered to read her article before publishing it.
