Did you guys notice that Laura interacted with Judy much more in season 1? From season 2 on they really did not interact as much. I recall one nice moment between them in season 2 when Judy was jealous of Richie but not much after that. From season 2 on Judy just mainly hung out with Richie.

You know I never stopped to think about this, but now that you mention it, you really are right. I'm not 100% sure but I think once Steve officially became a Full Time charachter in Season 2, and was no longer a reoccuring charachter, they now had the Steve/Laura interaction on the show on a regular basis, so Laura was usually seen in situations with him, leaving less time to be seen around her sister Judy. Judy seemed to get less and less attention each year by her sister, her grandma, her parents..... then eventually they just plain forgot about her. They must have been on a Family Vacation someplace during the summer of 1993 and accidently left her there.

Harriet: Carl, aren't we fortgetting something?

Carl: Oh my god! Your'e right! We forgot to stop at The Dunkin Donuts! We just passed it! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Judy started to hang-out with Richie alot more by the start of season 2, that's why for a long time I use to always think that she was Rachel's daughter.

I know! So did I!
