Erratic Behavior

I kind of felt that way regarding the last season. I'm 4 years younger than Kevin's character was supposed to be when the episodes were released (born in 1980). So I didn't care as much about the last season originally. But as I rewatched it, it has some of my favorite episodes from the series. The acting from the parents was always good IMO.

As a kid, I watched the show from the beginning and liked the first 2 seasons. Then the summer before senior year it started declining, and the Xmas one when the Angels save them from a fatal bus crash was when I thought it "jumped the shark". I never had heard the phrase, but I remember thinking "this has sunk really low". Afterwards I watched it more as a guilty pleasure.
