Judy Hensler vs. Penny Woods - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Who do you like better, Judy Hensler or Penny Woods? I originally saw Judy and then when I saw Penny, Penny seemed like the better character, but now I like Judy better.

What do you think?

Though they were both "creeps," as Beaver would say, Judy was a better actor IMO, and could actually be pretty funny!

I agree that Judy was funnier and a better actress. That creepiness seemed to come naturally to her. Penny was just annoying.

Definitely Judy!

Michael [hXc] · 03-29-2004, 05:23 PM

I read somewhere that Jerry Mathers said what a good person Jeri Weil (Judy) is and that he still keeps in touch with her. She was a great actress.

I didn't like Penny Woods, but I liked Karen Sue Trent as the little girl with the horse in the dancing school episode.

Judy, judy, judy!!!

Uhg, I HATED Judy, so I voted Penny.

Michael [hXc] · 04-15-2004, 04:25 PM

When I first started watching, I liked Penny much better. She seemed like a better, funnier character.

But when I started watching the episodes in the next cycle, I found that I greatly preffered Judy and that Penny's jokes were more stale than funny.

I like Judy better because she was the original creepy girl, and Penny just wasn't as good at being a creep! I always thought she wasn't a good replacement for Judy, and I always liked Judy better as the creepy little tattletale teacher's pet wannabe in Beaver's class.

LITBfan1 · 04-16-2004, 04:42 PM

Judy was more of a creep.

I liked Penny better. I think she should've been on the show more. Like up until the end of the series. I liked how in the one episode where she almost moved away and Beaver admitted to liking her (or whatever it was) but then when she ended up staying he thought she was a "creep" again. I hated Judy. If I was the teacher and Judy made some remark I would've slapped her!

Boy, I'm sure I wouldn't have liked Judy if she were in my class back in those days...

Judy was definitely the better actress, and a more memorable charcter of the two. Penny was prettier...
