The ratings were in freefall and back then Nielsen only tracked their seasons through March. So pulling it by December and then airing the remaining episodes in May meant they weren't counted for the season average (which helps determine ad rates). There's also the point that episode 13 are usually written / filmed by December, so they would've needed to decide if they were to give Rhoda the "back-nine" for the season or not.I guess interestingly, MTM still managed to produce a pilot for Carlton: Your Doorman, a proposed animated spin-off for Carlton:[URL unfurl="true"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlton_Your_Doorman[/URL]So I guess they weren't entirely "over" Maryverse.</blockquote>
