Yeah, I pretty much agree with the results. Even the series finale got the right spot. I don't know about the others, but the finale was okay. It wasn't the best episode and it wasn't the worst either. I guess we should all be glad that it even had a finale. A bunch of long running shows don't even get that chance. Take 'All in the Family' for instance. What would've made a really good finale was Mike and Gloria moving to CA. They didn't choose to end it there. They continued on with one season of Stephanie episodes and then it carried on to Archie Bunker's Place. ABP ran for about 4 seasons and I count it as AITF episodes. ABP didn't get a good finale, I don't think. From the way the episode guide reads, it sounds like a normal and regular episode.

Anyway, the finale was a bit rushed for me. They tied up all the loose ends with Jo, Nat, and Tootie in the last five minutes. I think they should've made the finale into 3 parts. That would've made it a bit better. The first two parts could've been the same and then part 3 would've shown everybody leaving or going their own way. Talk about a tear jerker!

Jo getting married?!?!?!? Oh come on now! The girls were bound to get married sooner or later in the series. I say Mrs. Garrett leaving was a bigger impact cause it was more of a surpirise and a shock about Charlotte's decision!

yeah, i agree with Original Prankster. Mrs Garret leaving the show should have been #1. I think JO's wedding got alot because theres so many Nancy fans. Out of Peekskill got such a huge buzz around its first airing, i remember seeing it on the news and stuff - even my mom wanted to watch that episode. haha.

I agree with the results. I don't think Jo's getting married was such a big deal, it was the fact that it was to Rick, and it happened so quickly. We all knew the girls would eventually get married, but what a shock that Jo was the first. And, she married Rick. It was pretty off character for Jo to jump into a relationship that suddenly.
