“I liked the early MwC seasons the best, season 2 to about season 4 or 5 when it was Steve and Marcy and the kids were not adults yet.”
Agreed! Those were the peak seasons. Jefferson was a pretty good replacement, but the show dipped after Steve left.
Plus, most, not all, but most shows start to get ehh after ~5 seasons, IMHO.
I thought Jefferson was a lame replacement for the Steve and Marcy act. They had a really funny thing going as a comedy team complementing Al and Peg.
Before that the Jefferson actor was a regular on Happy Days and the Love Boat. Jeeze.
