I guess the question is: How much do **I** know. 😉

Two things.

MWC needed to die. I am sorry, the show was once great, but was really limping during those final seasons. They tried to do all sorts of weird stuff, introducing Buds college life and bringing back the old character of Mary’s first husband with it, two or three episodes that were obvious attempts to create spin-offs (The college radio station, and a twisted version of friends), the cliched addition of the cute nephew ( They really regretted that. The kid just disappeared from the show after a very short while. It became a running gag to see missing child pictures of him). The show probably should have been ended two seasons before it finally was. I will miss it, but its death was a needed mercy killing.

Actually, MWC had a concluding episode. I remember it. Something about Kelly getting married to the son of a Texas millionaire who owns the company that makes Al’s favorite snack food. The episode ended by having everything explicitly go back to how it has always been. The show was obviously made to be the final one.
Geez, I never thought of myself as big fan of the show, but this thread makes me look like an obsessive freak! :eek: I think that I remember it so well because a local station used to run hour an hour block of MWC reruns just after I got home from school.

My god, that kitten board is truly pitiable.
