I know you all love Mabel... and i know she was a wonderful woman, stage actress etc... and I'm not saying I don't lke her, but her acting in Season 2 was so wooden. Even her lines came out messy. Any one notice this?

Mabel's acting skill were great, it just that the focus of the show was not on Mabel but on the youth, so her parts weren't going to be 'full' parts and mostly fillers. seventies_sitcoms 07-23-2005, 01:58 PM I enjoyed Mabel on the show, but I know a lot of peopled didn't care for her. That is probably why they started to show her less in only the 2nd season. She had a small part as Steve Martin's mother in the movie "The Jerk." She made him his favorite meal in the movie which I think was a tuna sandwich, a Twinkie, and a Tab. Ugh! Remember Tab? :eek: TVFactFan 07-23-2005, 02:11 PM the mabel character was ok with me. i actually missed her in season 3 Brian Damage 07-23-2005, 02:25 PM the mabel character was ok with me. i actually missed her in season 3 Me too seventies_sitcoms 07-23-2005, 02:40 PM Mabel never appeared at all in What's Happening Now did she?

But she did lack in Season 2 - probably unhappy with the producers. ThomasE 10-08-2005, 10:13 PM I really did not find anything wrong with her in season 2. I thought she was pretty good. She should have appeared in season 3. mmadluv7 10-14-2005, 01:04 AM I thought the word wooden was PERFECT- it was entertaining but not good as far as acting- Her timing was sooo off- I felt so bad for her in the episode with Rog moving into his apartment- She was gittering- nervous seeming- and just not comfortable with a sitcom shooting. The only GREAT episode is the one with her an the lettuce- Its great- robby76 10-14-2005, 01:21 AM Agreed Mmadluv7 - but maybe she was jittery cos she knew her contract wasn't being renewed for Season 3. And if you haven't already - PLEASE buy Season 1 as it is far superior to Season 2! |
