There was no way that a pretty girl like Maxine in a big city like Chicago would commit herself to one guy like WALDO and go to a drive in Movie with lawn chairs. There was no way that would ever happened and I hated seeing them together everytime I watched this show. All the Options somebody like Maxine would have had in the city the size of chicago would have had someone like Waldo so far at the bottom of the list he couldn't be FOUND-lol

I watched the ep today with her sitting on a lawn chair at the drive in, and I just turned the channel. Why would a pretty like max put herself through that type of embrassment?-lol

Waldo is not smart, but he is a nice person. Maybe it's that she liked with him. Even if the lawn chairs, was kinda weird. But Myra was worse in that episode.^^

Being just nice as a guy who looked like waldo in a big city would not have been enough to land a girl like max

No, you're right about that. Its not so believeable, but I'm glad that Waldo got a girl. He dated Laura in one episode. That didn't work out at all. But he got Max, Lauras best friend, wich is like Laura, so yes, it's strange.

On the episode with the 5 way phone call Max told Laura that she was tired of dating losers. She was dating a guy and when she finished helping him fix up his car he dumped her. She was glad to go out with Waldo because he was a "gentle soul with a kind heart". Even after Waldo left the show she continued to pick the losers like the drug dealer.

But in real life a pretty female like her would just continue to find a guy she is physically attracted who is NOT A LOSER-lol Not settle for someone like WALDO-lol

Ugly yes, dumb I don't know their background, Broke no they are far from broke.

Max didn’t have money either, what teen in their neighborhood was rich? Also Max said that she dated Waldo because he was sweet and he didn't treat her like all of the other guys that she had dated in the past.

In the real world, not everyone is shallow, when SOME women find a good man they hold on to them.

She had her pick of all the guys in her school and it's know way someone would commit to waldo-lol But that's what made her character a little unatrractive, seeing her with him just looked strange. That's like you being in a relationship with that Fat Guy from the Movie Lean on Me-LOL

Yeah compared to all of those over the top inventions, which were totally unrealistic the transformation chamber, the teleporter, the cloning device and time machine band, Maxine and Waldo being together seemed much more realistic to me.

Maxine and Waldo being together was unrealistic. Laura later on being attracted to Steve and having a relationship with him was unrealistic too. For so many episodes, Steve would always try to get with Laura and she continued to turn him down. Then all of a sudden on the later episodes, she started to become attracted to Steve which i thought was strange. She only used him when she knew he could change into Stefan. Brieannas21 you make a good point. Beyonce and Jay-Z are together just because of money. I don't really think they're in love with each other but then again, they might be in love. But if Jay-Z wasn't a entertainer, i know Beyonce wouldn't even think about being with him. It's a shame that some famous attractive women get with famous ugly men for money. Seal is a very ugly dude LOL. The Notorious Big was a ugly dude too and he married cute r&b singer Faith Evans. Even rapper Little Kim used to have a relationship with the Notorious Big before he got with Faith Evans. It's a shame what people will do for money.

Well, Laura fell in love with Steve after many many, many years as gfriends. And that happens in a lot of films and TV shows. Maybe she realized that Steve is the nicest guy she knows, and he had never lied to her, and has always treated her like a queen, wich she said in an episode from season 4. Some things are unrealistic, but also very cute, when they see whats inside the person, and not the outside.

Max like Waldo also because most of the guys didn't like her because she was not smart.

In 2 episodes I remember Max told Laura she would never make it to college like Laura because she was not smart like Laura and she also said that Laura could have her choice of any guy she wanted because she was smart and Max said she couldn't because she was not smart.

So Max also thought you had to be smart to date a good looking guy.

Max also didn't think she was pretty like Laura she told Laura that a few times.

Those reasons plus Waldo being real nice to her is reasons why she dated Waldo.

In other words Max unsecure of herself.

I don't know if Max was that popular either. Even though she was a much sweeter girl than Laura in every way, Laura was the most popular one. So I don't think it's so unrealistic, that Max went out with Waldo. And I think they really were in love too.

You're right about that. Laura, especially in the laters years was more gorgeous than sweet. But Max had a little wild side to her. She actually helped con Laura into going to a male-strip joint.

But she WAS interested in Steve! But she was such a shallow bitch, that she just couldn't admit even to herself, that she had feelings for him. So she went for the pretty face guys instead, until he eventually changed himself for her in the last season. And anyway, doesn't nerds deserve love too, without having to change themselves?

Maxine was a sweet and nice girl, and she sure wasn't bad-looking. But I still don't think she ever was considered "a fine honey", like the photo model type girls Eddy dated. If you think she was pretty, I won't disagree with you, because I like her too. But unfortunately, I doubt that's how the more shallow guys on the show would think about her. For instance, I doubt Eddy would have dated her. Maxine wasn't any prettier than that girl, that Eddy once had a date with even though Waldo and Weasel called her "a dog", even though she wasn't ugly at all. Maxine wasn't the brightest bulb in the box either. Remember, she was even rejected from "The college of Bob". So in the end, no, I don't think Maxine was above Waldo.

:yeahthat

By the way, going back to that episode where Eddy dated a girl, who was called "a dog". Waldo and Maxine were both in that episode. However, we see Maxine dancing with Steve while she actually wanted Laura's boyfriend (and Myra's cousin) Ted, and she didn't even think about Waldo. And I wonder why they didn't hook Maxine and Waldo up sooner... Maybe they just didn't think about it. :confused:

Well, Steve didn't change very much. He was still a nerd, but more mature. I think it's because he grew up.

I haven't seen these episodes. I think they've only been aired ONCE here in Sweden, and that once, I missed all the episodes from season nine except the last one, when he was in space. But from what I've heard, he decided to change his clothes, his habits, his interests, even his voice. And he did it all just to please that Laura bitch. And meanwhile, he had Myra, who loved him for who he was from the beginning... How realistic is THAT?

I don't know, but there were a couple of episodes, when she really missed Steve when he was with another girl. And just see how easily she fell for Stephan Urquelle, who basically wasn't anything more than a better-dressed and lower-voiced and not clumsy version of Steve. Also remember that they kissed at the prom. The bitch was just too shallow to admit her feelings, until he started changing for her.

Laura was less attractive with her really short hair. But, if you love someone, you love them, that's it. If Laura wanted to act like a first grader who had a school girl crush on another student by treating them like crap, then that's her decision. but seceretly she always loved him. And besides, Myra loved Steve for who he is, and wasn't asshamed to admit it. She was way more loyal to Steve!

Jessica
02-25-2008, 08:14 PM
Well, Steve did everything for Laura. She was shallow, an wanted the "Good looking" guys. But when she started to see Stefan, she thought he was gorgeous, but he is Steve in "A microwaved version", like Myra said. So it's obvious that Laura had feelings for Steve before he was Stefan. But she never admit it till Steve was changed. He change cause he was mature and for Laura.

Furienna
02-25-2008, 08:24 PM
I actually think Laura looked unexpectedly good with short hair. Myra was usually prettier than Laura, but when the same actress, the late Michelle Thomas, was Theo's girlfriend Justine on "The Cosby show", she had short hair in one episode, and it looked terrible. But that's another story.

As I've said before, okay if Steve developed a crush on Laura in kindergarten. But the years should have made him wiser than that, and he should really have stopped caring so much for someone, who was too shallow to be wanted to seen with him, who rejected him over and over, who even would look disgusted when he talked to her. The episode when Steve finally decided to go steady with Myra should have been the last episode, where Steve even considered Laura anymore.

Hmmm... Wasn't this thread about Maxine and Waldo?
