Last Great season which was centered around the remaining huxtable kids and not any new additions until the following season.

Only weak episode was "THE BIRTH"

Has there been any show where a sitcom was a success AFTER the introduction of a little kid?

Olivia, in my opinion, is the epitomy of the worst addition ever on a sitcom regarding little kids. Not to mention the way she was introduced has got to be the all time worst.

Gimme A Break comes to mind. I think it peaked in the 83-85 seasons (it went down after Dolph Sweet passed, and then especially after they went to NY) after Joey Lawrence was added

I think FOL did good with Andy. But it's extremely rare for a show to add a kid and it stays successful with the addition.

I actually liked the Joey character. He was a bit annoying at times, but he was funny. His character was an exception, IMO and for me at least, can't say others feel the same way.

I didn't like Olivia either. The show was still good though.

I don't hate her, but she sure wasn't needed, and she could be so annoying. The best (or at least most tolerable) moments with her are the ones, when she acted like a child her age.

TVFactFan · 03-04-2008, 10:35 PM

I was supposed to SKIP season 6 on DVD but atleast I didn't pay for it-lol
