Until 1983. The actor landed another sitcom with Ann Jillian. I got annoyed when he went running to his father like that. I would have slapped him again just for doing that!

I remember seeing this for the first time as a kid and thinking what a mean old lady she was for hitting that little boy, haha.

I could not stand Alex! I fast forward past all of his scenes when I watch the show. He was a little brat who acted like a toddler when he did not get his way.

Lord knows I want to slap him every time I see him show up. Ann had gone through hell with Julie and her recent divorce which was followed up with a heart attack and the death of her father so Alex was just another addition to her stress.

The writers hit gold with Nick but missed with adding Alex.

I don't really care for Alex OR Nick!

Did not like Nick nor Alex. They should had made Francine a regular. Her cat fights with Ann was funny and hilarious.

never a big fan of the Alex character - spoiled little brat needed smacked more often

They actually did make Francine a regular after Alex left. She was in the 8th and 9th season I believe. She was added to the credits which indicates she was a regular

I was still missing Julie and Max at this point. Alex and Nick didn't fill the void for me!

Wow! I totally forgot he was in Jennifer Slept Here. Now I have to watch that show again. It has been years since I have seen it. I loved Ann in It's a Living so I just watched it for her.

I also want to see it again to see if Glenn Scarpeli is playing a little brat. I remember the show vaguely. She played a ghost I believe.

Report back if you do. I barely remember that one, and no one is going to rerun a show that lasted 13 episodes.

Why was Alex 12 acting 5? LOL

I just found the first 5 episodes on an old VHS. I am looking for the rest. I did not have a recording device at the time the show was airing so I used my mother's. I am looking through boxes at her house to see if she still has the tapes. Hope she hasn't recorded over them after all these years.

So far I found a bunch of old Golden Girls recordings from NBC and short lived sitcoms called Day By Day with Doug Sheehan and It's Your Move with with David Garrison.

Some more nice obscurity there.

David Garrison from Married With Children fame?

You know Alex was ok it was Nick who I couldnt stand. He just came off like a smug, ass. Very sarcastic. I liked Ann better with David or even Howard Hesseman's character during the last season.

Since we're talking Glenn Scarpelli here, I'm gonna throw in the only trivia I know about him. His father was a long time artist for Archie Comics, and Glenn made a cover appearance.

In that bait and switch episode, Alex mentions Archie comics.

I just found all of my recordings of Jennifer Slept Here. I am surprised the quality is so good! I am going to have a marathon of the show this weekend then transfer them to DVD so I don't have to worry about these tapes going bad on me.

Don't forget to come here and compare Glenn Scarpelli's character with Alex.

He was so chill in this show. He was not nearly as annoying as his Alex character.

Good to hear the kid some range.

I think DVD-R media is more likely to go bad than VHS tapes. The dye layer on the disks tends to go bad, rendering them unplayable. Some of my VHS tapes are 30 years old, and they still play fine. Of course, having good quality tapes helps also. Conversely, some DVD-R's that I had for less than ten years went bad and became unplayable. I've had some music CD's that also did the same thing, went bad and became unplayable. So I actually prefer VHS over DVD for movies and TV, just as I prefer vinyl records over CD's for music. Tapes don't last forever either, but I think they are less prone to fail and have a longer life span.
