Wow!, that info was very shocking. I could not imagine that the rating were really that bad. I'm glad they did move the show, to allow its full potential.

I think they made adjustments to the George character too, if you noticed in season 6, he was completely different, less irrirtable and more friendly to tom and bentley. I think they had to since he was the star of the show |

In the first few seasons, the storylines were smart and very original. I wonder why no one tuned in. Although, going from 49th to number 1 in the matter of a couple seasons is VERY impressive. It had to be the timeslot. |

Norman Lear must have had a lot of pull with CBS to keep the show on after the 4th & 5th season. Because those ratings are pretty bad....
