IMO Roseanne Jumped at the end of Season 7 with some lame tribute to Gilligan's Island, following this the original Becky came back (why god why?) Roseanne's baby girl turned out to be a boy (actually if Roseanne had just had an ultrasound this would've been plausible cuz sometimes they can't tell, but she had an amniocentisis test which gives you a DNA sample and definitely the baby's sex) Then they went to Disney World for gods sake - that's like the kiss of death, I barely watched it again after that, tuning in for the final episode to find out that the whole thing was supposed to be a distortion of the truth, Dan had died, Darlene married Mark, Becky (strangely again Sarah Chalke) married David? It was way more believable the other way around.

Seasons 8 and 9 were such a sad departure from what made this show great they we're almost as bad as the last 4 years of Murphy Brown!

Alot of the shows neilsen ratings do decline in the last couple of seasons, but most of the time, series finales are really popular and alot of people watch those. Like with Cheers, even though the last season was #9 (which is pretty good for a show that's been on for 11 years), the finale is the 3rd most watched finale of all time.

I enjoy Season 9 now, actually.

I was in tears when Harris was born. And ITGN was outstanding. I really liked the first few episodes of 8, but it went downhill then. I think 9 revived it, though.
