I wish that he would have done more as well but I too believe he was kept around because the English version "George and Mildred" did have the son as well.

I think ultimately he was ONE of the reasons the show failed.

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I loved David. I thought he was adorable, and I loved his interactions with Mr. Roper. I also loved how he would show up at the most inappropriate moments!

She should have been added in the beginning of season 2 instead of being thrown in at mid-season. But the Ropers style of show was not a good fit for David and Jenny because it was not a show aimed at a young audience. That's like Jack and Janet allowing a middle age woman to move in after Chrissy left and be the new roomate. It wouldn't have been a good fit. |

I put the addition of the Jenny character right up there with the addition of Sam on Diff'rent Strokes, April on Too Close For Comfort and Oliver on the Brady Bunch as my least favorite character additons.

I just didn't see the purpose of the character, she was too young for Mr. Brookes to flirt with, too old to be around david, and too young to be hanging around the Ropers |

I like how they became her pseudo-parents.
