Ah... poor Fred, hit with the old "We can still be friends..." ego bruiser.

We have seen this plot on many shows where the son/daughter does not like the idea of their parent dating anyone other than their other parent. So in other words, Lamont did not like to see his dad with anyone other than Elizabeth is mom.

Early on Fred and Donna planned to get married and Lamont hated the idea. He thought Fred was too old to get married again and that Donna bad intentions. Lamont referred to Donna as "The Barracuda" and the rift between them was fierce. As the series progressed, Lamont mellowed and accepted Donna. He even was complimentary of her in later seasons.

In early episodes he resented her because he thought Fred was trying to replace his mother. He warmed up to her later on and was very friendly to her.

I think ppl can date who they want, not all women desire the same thing, nor do all men.

Yeah Fred might be fun to hang out with IF HE LIKES YOU, lol but if he doesn't you're going to be the butt of a lot of cruel insults.

And Lamont didn't like Donna at first b/c as another said, he felt she was trying to replace his mom, and he didn't like her coming into the house trying to take things over. Donna DID have a take charge nature, and it rubbed Lamont the wrong way b/c Lamont also like to be in charge.

Another thing I'm wondering though, in an earlier episode when Lamont tries to move out on his own, he gets an apartment and the woman who plays Donna is his landlady, and she and Lamont get into a big fight over Lamont's girlfriends being there. I just wonder do you think that woman was possibly supposed to BE Donna, and maybe that's what started the initial conflict?
