Beginning with this season, the show took over the time slot previously occupied by Seinfeld after Jerry Seinfeld turned down an offer to renew his show for a tenth season, allowing it to be on a Thursday night again since its move to a Tuesday night for seasons 2 through 5.
From this point forward, the show regained its former time slot, which had been occupied by Seinfeld prior to Jerry Seinfeld's decision not to extend his series for an additional ten episodes, thus enabling it to resume its Thursday night broadcast schedule that it had previously held before being relocated to Tuesday evenings from seasons 2 through 5.
