[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 429841, member: 27"] Oddly, the same type of thing happened to [I]Too Close for Comfort [/I]here in the US, though it took a very different path to that disarray. They had a one-off character appear as a moronic friend of Sara's in an episode, and eventually the character (named Monroe) kept popping up again and again to the point he became a regular cast member. The focus on Monroe and Henry's escapades took over in the way that Urkel took over [I]Family Matters[/I] later on. The show also introduced a cousin of the daughters named April who was more willing to "misbehave" than the daughters. She was supposed to inject a bit more strife in the household but the character never caught on. Then Muriel ended up having a late-in-life baby, which is always the kiss of death for an aging sitcom. It all had the feeling of "throw it all against the wall and see what sticks". [/QUOTE]
