what do you think Would Have Happend If There Was 9th Season?
Okay So there is still Janet,Terrie,Furley And Larry And No Vicky Or Ohillip In Fact There Is No Three's A Croed.

They would have run out of ideas and bombed in the ratings.

BTW, I'm probably the only one here to say it, but I thought the way TC ended was really great. Yes, it was very sad and flat somehow, but that's how most friendships come to an effective end -- people find other people to marry, move in with, and what not. The unacknowledged yearning of Jack and Janet for each other was kind of what made the show for me, but it was just not written in the stars for them to connect.

It might have worked but the ratings would not be as high as they were in the other 8 seasons. But it would have been a great season to give everyone closure to end the show after the 9th season instead of the rushed ending that they did in the 8th season.

I think the ratings would have been about the way they were for TAC.

The show was running out of ideas. Looking back now it's easy to say that the ninth season could have brought better closure at least but at the time the Producers only carred about saving the show anyway possible. I would have liked to see Larry and Furley have closure and Terri really didn't have much of a storyline in the finale. It seemed rush...all of a sudden she was moving to Hawaii.
