This show was great in its first 5 seasons. Then two of the original women left and the show slipped big time. They brought in Julia Duffy who couldn't be funny to save her life and Jan Hooks whose character acted just like her sister. My least favorite character had to be Mary Jo she was so boring she was a single mother who could not find a man and who wined a lot. They should have let her portrayer Annie Potts go right on out the door with Delta Burke and Jean Smart. Julia Sugarbaker was the best character because she stood up for what she believed in and she was strong and could last without a man unlike her friends. When they rid of Julia Duffy and replaced her with Judith Ivey I thought the show had at least 2 more seasons in it but I was way off base because that season was the last. The one problem that I saw with Ivey's character, B.J., was that she had the same attitude as Julia and how could you stand that kind of stuff on the same show. Anthony and Bernice were always fun to watch too. I miss this show and they really should do a reunion movie. It was one of the better comedies in the late 80s.
