Nobody else has expressed the opinion which I hold, which is that the series took a creative nosedive in the second half of the final season.

Within the last year I watched the show beginning-to-end oh hulu and found the 1969-70 season to be full of good, imaginative episodes throughout. Much as I think they could have come up with a better storyline to start off the final season than Lori and the city kids, there are still some stand-out episodes from late in 1970 right up until . . . well, right up until the time I surmise that Jay Sommers got word (unofficial or otherwise) that the show was ending and he started developing those infamous pilots in an attempt to continue working into the next season. This would have been right around the time that Paul Henning's credit was relocated from the beginning to the end credits.

There was a certain freshness and newness to the beginning of the final season, whereas most of the 1971 episodes just seem moldy, as if those scripts were taken out of a reject drawer and dusted off.
