Only silly in-and-out girlfriends were allowed after a while, in terms of female roles.That's not the fault of reduced money, or the return of sitcoms, or reduced viewer interest due to age and time.I'll say it again: post-Paulsen's exit, Katzman couldn't do the show by himself -- and Art Lewis and Howard Lakin weren't gonna help much.</blockquote>
