True enough. Read somewhere a while back about how NBC and Paramount kept slashing the budget for the show. This includes sets, props, special effects and writers for scripts - which were certainly best in the earlier episodes of the show (though even the final season had a gem or two). Ever notice how most of the final season's episodes were on board the ship? That's because those sets were already bought and paid for.
They moved it finally at some point to 10:00 PM Saturday night. Kind of a death blow to what was intended to be a family show.
A great case of the network having no idea what they really had.
