I thought the show was helping him with his OCD problem -- Marc was rather straight-laced at the beginning, but by the end he was actively jumping into pools of slime.[/quote]
Please stop guessing.[/quote]Yes. Marc didn't even realize he had a disorder until two or three years after the show wrapped, when he was doing his Lifetime talk show.

[quote name=\'Dan88\' post=\'239677\' date=\'Apr 18 2010, 12:01 PM\']That...'s not really a good reason to can a long-running and mega-popular show. If the ratings justify it, the budget holds up, and the staff agrees to come back for another season, there's really no reason to stop making new episodes. And, as far as I know, all of those things were still firmly in place in February 1993.[/quote]

If the ratings they can pull with reruns are virtually the same as the ratings they think new episodes will pull, then no, ratings don't justify another season.

Besides, it doesn't sound like the staff agreed to come back anyway.

It gave me a reason to set the DVR to record it early.
