5th season?

in reruns, they don't always get all the shows....

I watch waltons on a regular basis...and they only have certain eppies....they always have...

so, when it comes to syndication, all the eppies, one might not be available...two, some of them might be cut off, because the commercials keep on getting longer...and they might not have the money to buy all the eppies, either...

one episode of family ties comes to mind..

when alex was visited by the ghosts of Christmas...

at the end, it he said, oh Mallory, you're not pregnant....and then he changed it to president, when they went what....yet in syndication that line isn't said, at all.

so...

Yes with a few exceptions seasons 6 and 7 were quite bad. The worst of season 6 would have to be THE CHRISTENING that ends with Steve singing The Lord's Prayer. And don't even get me started on that God awful putrid "Vietnam" episode THE GLENN TINKER CAPER from season 7!


Only a few episodes from the last two years are watchable.
They include from Season 6 Billie Jo and The Big Star in which she sings "When I Fall in Love"

Season 7's LAST TRAIN TO PIXLEY, possibly the last episode produced,though not the last one shown is pretty good. It has a series finale feel to it.


The first 3 years are the BEST

Betty Jo came back after a summer away and she was all grown up and Steve fell for her. Billie Jo seemed relieved to be rid of him cause she wanted to concentrate on her music career. Maybe she knew the truth about Steve. That if you ended up with him he'd expect you to be a housewife and you couldn't have a career of your own.

The best years were seasons 1,2, and 3 IMO anyhow.
