The 4-year-old sitcom will end its run on NBC this May.
The Monday-night series will end with an episode called ``Goodbye,'' which was shot over the weekend.
``Blossom's'' demise is not totally unexpected. While the show has generated strong younger-audience ratings, it has lost some steam in recent years. In fact, its season-to-date overall ratings are down 16 percent from its 1993-94 season average.
``All parties involved agreed it was time to end the series,'' said an NBC spokesman. ```Blossom' has been very successful for NBC on Mondays.''
``Blossom'' laen (``Fame'') in the time period.
``CBS This Morning's'' consumer reporter Hattie Kauffman is at it again. For four days through Friday, Kauffman is reporting, and participating in, a series on playtime fantasies, which will take her from a ski jump in Lake Placid to a rodeo in Texas, from a scuba dive with Dolphins to a paint-ball war game.
Kauffman's last such series, in November, had her white-water rafting and mountain climbing.
She also did a report on parachute jumping, but for that one she actually stopped short of first-hand involvement.
Hot on the well-pedicured heels of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition, with its bevey of bathing beauties, comes this week's Soap Opera Update edition offering the top-10 hottest male sex symbols in daytime television.
And who are some of those hunks?
Soap Opera Update selected such folks as Dylan Neal (Dylan on ``The Bold and the Beautiful''), Winsor Harmon (Del on ``All My Children'') and Robert Kelker-Kelly (Bo on ``Days of Our Lives'').
