Exactly. Not only did Barney leave, but Gomer was replaced by Goober (I believe a year earlier), Opie got bigger and they went from B&W to color. It was almost like the difference between I Love Lucy and the Lucille Ball Show in terms of quality.
I could also say the same thing about Happy Days. They should have ended the show when Ritchie and Ralph departed for the military. A FEW would even say when Chuck left -for wherever it is he vanished to.
