Janet Mesier-Vanessa's friend

Peter-Rudy's Chubby Friend

Cockroach-Theo's right hand man


AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, Kenny's Brother just vanished. I never knew what happened to him.

Well I know that Cockroach was fired from the show because he didn't want to cut his hair. Bill wanted the male characters to have a more "gentleman" haircuts, and he refused to cut his hair, so Bill cut him from the show... I hopw this helps you in someway :)

It's more to that cockroach story because Theo needed a haircut also.

i didnt know that. Well in the latter seasons Theo's seasons his hair looked like crap. but his hair didnt change

I dont know why Peter suddenly dissappeared, I thought he was funny. I always wondered why Kenny's most talked about brother was never shown in the show. Maybe they wanted him to seem like he was a mystery or something I dont know :confused:

Theo and Cocxkroach both had SMALL afros in the episode Dance Mania

lol, your right. I wonder if Bill did that on purpose?

If Bill was fretting over hair so much, how come he didnt make Denise change her hairdo for the 6th season because that is not "ladylike". Who knows :confused:

And Let's not forget, Vanessa's HUGE AFRO in season 5-LOL

yeah it was funny looking lol

i also thought that Clairs hair cut short for like the last 10 episodes or so looked really stupid

well it was the 80's and early 90's a lot of things were different back then so

LOL who knows about the hairdo stuff. It is I guess to make the show funny. LOL I was born in the 80's , in 1982, so I'm guessing all those weird hairdos were worth it, but I didn't have those weird hairdos.:lol: :lol:

that is good. lol

even though they had bad hair it is still one of the best shows

Besides I'm white, afros won't work on white people's hair, so......that's why it wouldn't work on mine, if I wanted it to. I don't like afros myself, but if I wanted to I couldn't get it to work.:wave:

actually, I thought that it was ok for Vannesa in season 5

that hairdo was never fine. wasn't fine then and definitely not fine now.she was just in a totally different world. probably the one that rudy wrote about when she was younger.

Yeah, well I think that peoples hair on t.v shows always look bad. The directors probably tell the hairstylest to make it look as worst as possible. Such as when Clairs hair went short for the last part of Season 8. Oh well... nothing I can do about it

All we can do is complain.

i guess

the story behind cockroach being fired was he didnt want to shave....i think that's what they said in E! True Hollywood Story, The Cosby's Kids.

That's not the reason he was taken off the show, that's what the profucers and bill cosby want fans of the show to believe. I don't buy that haircut story at all.

Yes. We've talked about this before. I don't believe that story one bit. I want to know why he REALLY left! Some covering up was goin on.

And Vanessa's slanted afro? Holy geez was that crazy. Ain't no girl wearing their hair like that back then! I don't know what could drive someone to do that to themselves.

You know the people I wish could have vanished off the show without a trace? THE GRANDPARENTS!

I always liked Peter and the way he ran out of the house. :D I always wondered what happened to Cockroach also...

I didn't think Vanessa's friend Janet was a very good actress. I mean, the actress that PLAYED Janet wasn't a very good actress; anyone else agree?

She may have not been a good actress but she defintely put the A in ATTRACTIVE.

yea, that's true, she was cute.
i dunno abaout the cockroach thing, i don't think they would want people to think that bill fired him because he didn't want to cut his hair. That would make Bill look bad, if they were gonna cover up something, wouldn't it be something that sounded exactly like that. Anyway, it was lance that said it, and i don't think he would like or spread a rumor for no reason(the show was over when he said it, so no harm to him)

Lol. Solomon, you crack me up. Which one is Janet? Is she the one that was just on that episode where Theo's friend was dating Vanessa, and she was talking to Vanessa about their movie date?

Yes that was her, Janet Meiser, the girl with the powerful eyes

Vanessa's friend kara, who would talk really fast. She was a pretty good actress, because you would have to be good at acting to be able to talk that fast. Also, I think htat Bill Cosby would only have the best actors/actresses on the show because he only wanted the best for his show

i'm doin kool, how bout urself?

disregard that last statement everyone

Kara was pretty cute too! i wish there was more episode's like the "locomotion" one with her in it.

The only person i ever wondered about was Cockroach.....
Vanessa's friend Janet was in most of the episodes up until Vanessa went to college.....some characters that really got on my nerves were Rudy's two friends Danielle and Suzanne:rolleyes:
