I don't understand the reason of giving Jenny a brother/Willis' a son if he was only shown on a rare occasion...so why do you think they even bothered to do this? To give some sort of reason to give a biracial couple one white and one black child?

It really was pointless to have him on the show. I guess he was there to be yet another "white" character for George to butt heads with. Except this time, there was a twist, he was half black. :rolleyes:

Well if they had keep that first Allan Willis that would have been so enjoyable. I don' remember the second Alan willis butting heads with George like the first one. Classic exchange below

Alan: I dug where you was coming yesterday chump and you ain't cool

George: Say What?

Alan: I say your teeth are yellow and your breath is bad, get out of my face before you wish you had

George: You better get off my back and leave me alone because the teeth you save will be your own

Alan: Look if it wasn't for the fact that you were five foot two, like white on rice I'll be all over you

George: Look when you are in my house u better show some respect with your elephant ears and chicken neck

Alan: If you want respect you got to earn it, so cover your nose before I burn it

George: Look at this elite n***ger wolfing at my door, with your yellow behind i'm going to wipe up the entire floor



Best Scene in Sitcom History-LOL

Yeah, I think too that since both parents were interracial and since they had a fully black daughter, it would seem fair to add a fully white son. It seems like tokenism, but it made sense.

Alan Willis(Jay Hammer) didn't bring anything to the show other than a body. He seemed like he was someone they added because both Lionels weren't on the show.

Yup because he was gone the following season he was gone when Mike Evans returned

There was a point, at least with his first appearence. When he was brought in about as a regular, I think it was less about him being half-black and half-white, they just needed somebody to fill the space with there being no Lionel and it made sense to bring in a character that had already been introduced.

I still don't understand why was Jenny needed after the second Lionel left.
