Wills Gerry Curl

The New Set

The New Opening Theme Song

LOL. Damm, the show should have just ended right after 1985. I dont why ABC felt this show at that point in Time would be better than Three's a Crowd

The New Set was atrocious, the theme song was totally 80's and no Kimberly and more Maggie and Sam killed this show.

1) Willis' Gerry Curl

Loved It!

2) The New Set

Loved It!
3) Alan Thicke's version to the song/electronic synthesizer

Loved it!

It was time for a makeover. Willis did need to update that afro. 1978 was gone. They needed a new set and 1985 was a time for change. The affliated shows like "Silver Spoons" and "Facts of Life" got makeovers as well. I still liked the old formats but am glad that there were changes made. Other shows like "The Love Boat " changed up some things as well.

Sorry guys, I beg to differ on this one.

What are your thoughts on less Kimberly?

This is kinda sad because I actually liked Kimberly in this season because she was seen more than the previous season. She was in two eps in the prior season and did four eps this season. Willis was probably in a handful himself for this season. I loved the changes but the fire was gone from the show. It was dead. There was a budget cut and not everyone was appearing in the same eps with others. Ep appearances were limited. It would have been better had they gave Dana a few more eps to match the number of eps that everyone else was appearing in. I think that Gary had the most airtime out of everyone.

That new set didn't work for me either.

I liked Kimberly (I ALWAYS thought she should have had more to do!)

Sam was god aweful. So was Maggie #2.

Obviously Gary would get the most screen time...even though he wasn't too happy about it.

I would have liked more Kimberly too.

And could they have made a more crappy last episode?

That steroids episode was not meant to be a finale for the series. Like some of the shows at the time, they probably assumed that they would be back for another run and then just got a "oh by the way" notice that the show would be canceled.

I know it wasn't supposed to be the finale for the series. It had no closure what's so ever...They should have been on the safe side, and made a proper finale for the series, since they knew they might not return for a 9th season...I guess they didn't think about being "safe" in those days.

Buffy did it for 6 years. American Dreams, Everwood, Reba, What I Like About You, Full House, Family Matters, and Step By Step have all done it (when they weren't sure if they would definately be returning the following season)....It's not a series finale per say, but the episode does give you some kind of closure to the series. I'm sure other shows have done this.

And if they find out they were renewed, the producers and writers would just work from where they left off (of course, not all storylines would have been wrapped up the previous season. And there's always more stories a show can tell, even once they're finshed).

The Jeri Curl came with the time (1985) The set was an improvement, and I liked the new theme song, but I miissed the old one. Maybe NBC had the rights to the old one and ABC couldn't use it.

But, like most people I hate the fact that it was too much Sam and Maggie and not enough Willis. One thing about season 8 is that whenever they showed Willis, he was always walking out of the room or passing through. That's how his role was in this horrible season.
