I don't count seasons. As far as I'm concerned when Valerie got married on show and cut her hair the series was over.

The marriage was season 8, the haircut season 9. Since season 9 was the last, the haircut technically was the end of it. But by the end of the season it had started growing in again.

The hair was extra in season 11

I thought Maude ended up firing Mrs. Naugatuck and hired Ann as her new housekeeper?

:

Sorry Sven. I'm being a brat right now!

And then Ann went back to One Day at a Time, so ODAAT is a spinoff of Maude just like Good Times.

Bonnie I have a crush on you right now lol

And you are right. Maude hired Ann in the 78-79 season of Maude and they always got in arguments

No because NBC picked up Maude in 1978-79 season when Ann was the housekeeper. When she went back to One day at a time she was back on CBS

It felt like a completely different show. The only episode from season 9 that was good was "Off We Go", which should have been done a couple of years before. By season 5 the show really was starting to run its course. Julie and Barbara weren't in high school anymore, and even though Barbara still lived with Ann it wasn't the same. The show was in is glory years when the girls were in high school, and Ann was making her mark in her career, etc. This show probably could have gotten 5 quality seasons. Why not call it quits and go out on top?

I hate when shows run on too long and become very bad and almost unwatchable. "All in the Family" was notorious for this. It definitely should have ended when Mike and Gloria moved to California. The episode where they left would have been the ultimate series finale. But no, that show went into a 9th season which was horrible and even spin-offs that were even more horrible. "Leave it to Beaver" ended just in time. Actually, it probably should have only lasted 5 seasons rather than 6 like it did, but its last season was still high quality.

Another thing that bothered me was that the wardrobes became too glamorous in the later years, glamorous to a point that the show no longer had a realistic feel to it. It was so realistic in the beginning because their everyday dress was ordinary, and the furniture ordinary. All shows that ran into the mid-1980s were guilty of these stupid makeovers.

I disagree. I love Season 9. And I love that the wardrobes became more glamorous. The furniture was still ordinary and I see nothing wrong with the clothes looking better. It was still realistic. People upgrade their wardrobes and furniture all the time. It's very realistic.

watching season 9 now and these eps are trash. The ep with Tony Romano and send in the clowns, Schnieder turning 50 Baby Love. There was no other season with so many trash eps
