View Full Version : Anyone notice how Different the J.J character was in the first episode?
TVFactFan 09-21-2003, 10:34 AM The J.J character was Completely Different because
He didn't clap his hands and say DYNO-MITE
He didn't have on that stupid blue hat the entire episode
He was laid back
He referred to as James Junior
Thelma and Michael look to him as their older brother and instead of the Family Clown
James did not insult him at all
rlm1626 09-21-2003, 04:37 PM Yeah, i noticed some differences. Actually, i don't think he clapped his hands together and interjected "dyno-mite!" any during the first season.

That's true
laneyday 09-22-2003, 06:10 PM His character was most likely still in development. If you notice in most sitcoms that just start, the sitcom clown never seems to be so humorous in the first few episodes. Example: Chrissy Snow and if you've ever watched 227, Jackie didn't develope her humorous character until later in the season. They are always so much more straight at the beginning.:dog:

Screech and Urkel were dumb from day one.LOL
laneyday 09-22-2003, 07:00 PM I agree with Screech but Urkel still didn't have it down packed the first few.:(
rlm1626 09-22-2003, 07:10 PM That is true about the character developing. I noticed that with Al Bundy. The first season or two he was a little more reserved about things. As the show went on, he became increasingly outrageous and hilarious. I also notice that certain jokes would be used a lot during a period of time, say most of a season. It would go in spurts, but really it didn't matter what they did, it turned out great.
Mr. Television 09-22-2003, 07:12 PM You can even look at early episodes of the Simpsons and see that they weren't fully developed.
jj didnt clap his hands and say dynomite in the first episode but he did say it..when james went into the closet to get his pool stick and told the family what he was planning todo to get the rent money, jj said "dy no mite" but not how he shouted it in future episodes.
rlm1626 09-23-2003, 07:35 PM Yeah, i remembered the fact that he did say a couple of times in the first season, but not in the trademark way that we all came to know so well with the word "kid" inserted in front of it.

I think he only said it 2 times in season one.
marvin g 09-23-2003, 10:11 PM Urkel took over Family Matters! In fact if there had been no Urkel that show would have goten cancelled quickly!
rlm1626 09-23-2003, 11:10 PM Yeah, i agree with Marvin g. Without Urkel, Family Matters would have had nothing. Not that the cast wasn't talented, because there were some good actors. Every great show has to have some character that becomes synonomous with the very mention of the show's name.
