* PoorlyDisguisedPilot: The season four finale, "Kim Finally Cuts You-Know-Who's Apron Strings", was a pilot for a proposed Kim Carter spinoff, where Kim moves into an apartment building managed by her uncle, Lucy's [[RememberTheNewGuy never-before-mentioned brother]] Herb Hinkley (Creator/AlanOppenheimer). Rounding out the cast were Susan Tolsky as Sue Ann Ditbenner, Kim's kooky neighbor and friend, and Lloyd Battista as Ronnie Cumberland, a lecherous race car driver from England. Lucie Arnaz remained a regular on this show after the pilot wasn't picked up to series.
