It never boned. All five seasons were great.

I know people tend to say the show became "The Latka and Simka" show towards the end but I don't think it did. They had about four episodes about them (one was a two-parter) and besides that, Andy Kaufman was only in 11 episodes that final year. So how did it become "The Latka and Simka Show"?

It was great all the way through. I never really appreciated the sitcom until I saw it in syndication. Much funnier than I remember.

Never boned, agreed. Also never received the recognition or ratings it deserved.
