[QUOTE="tommie, post: 320209, member: 370"] I think it's also an issue with the supporting cast - what was the point of Phyllis moving in with her in-laws when both of them are fundamentally nice to her and welcome her with open arms? I guess that's why they let Mother Dexter become a permanent part of the cast, just to add some conflict. I can see why they got rid off the first "work set" too - again, there's not a lot of conflict there to drive the show. Jumping around in season 2, at least Phyllis's new work in public office seems to up the stakes a bit - if it had been renewed for season 3, I would've imho largely ditched her homelife which is probably what would've happened since Judith Lowry passed and Jane Rose would pass two years later from cancer.
