I was really sad to see Kyra Sedgewick leave and didn't think anyone could fill her shoes. I am pleased with the way the show has handled the change. It is a completely different show with many of the same cast members. Very impressed.
I lowered my rating on the show this year because I am not impressed with the way the show is being handled.
The show started out slow but really picked up fast. It has a great group of actors playing great characters. Brings me back to Welcome Back Kotter days.
