Kinda doubt it. I liked the show, but Stanley and Helen are two examples of characters who work best in supporting roles. I thought the show was pretty good, honestly, but I can't see it surviving three or four seasons, even in a best case scenario. The supporting cast was kind of weak (aside from the gorgeous Patty McCormack) and there just weren't 100 episodes worth of stories about the main couple.

Come on guys! The Ropers is better than most shows on today.

Tambor is enough reason for the show to have gone 3-4 seasons+!
