It's not just because of Phil Hartman.... it's not just because of Dave Foley.... This show is great because of the ENSEMBLE CAST and GREAT WRITING backed by the legendary comedy super-producers Brillstein-Gray.
Even if it did take a huge hit with the death of Phil, the cast and crew overcame their grief and created a last season that has very funny concepts, great episodes, and wonderful performances from the entire cast.
Lovitz shouldn't be put down or compared to Phil, he literally appeared in only 22 episodes of the 97 episode run! The character was not meant to, nor could ever replace Bill McNeil, and it is disingenuous to the rest of the characters, the cast and crew, and the writers to dismiss their good work in the last season.
