Default Better man for Thelma: Larry or Keith

Give me Larry. Thelma should've went with him instead of that Heisman trophy candidate/ Chicago Bear wannabe.

Larry! He seemed more stable than goofy Keith..Keith just looked like a Boy Toy for Thelma and she treated him accordingly because he was not the smartest person in the world and she was more well read and intelligent...

I agree with you. Obviously! LOL All Keith did was follow Thelma around.

Larry on the other hand, knew he wanted his own business and where he was going.

Let's face it Keith was nothing.

I agree with you on Keith; but he was easy on the eyes..He was a lousy actor and his character was not very strong, but you have to admit Ben Powers was handsome... So Thelma married Keith for his body..

Larry was a good looking guy. Keith was the most annoying with his imitations, he was a real turn off. Did find him good looking at all. Sorry.

Yeah, while Keith is home with a busted leg, Larry probably owns around five gas stations and is doing all right. Poor Thelma.

I know I'm in the minority here, but I actually liked Keith. I thought he was cute, he was great with kids, and was a welcome addition to the family (imho). Having said that, having him hit Thelma (while drunk) in that one episode was a major mistake. Bernadette Stanis actually gave her most powerful performance in the whole series in that episode.

I didn't care for Larry that much...did not sense any chemistry between him and Thelma. Wow, I AM in the minority here...I'm starting to feel like Solomon!!

Larry. I wish that James would have been alive when he hit Thelma or the way he talked to her. There would not have been enough man power in that house to keep James off of him!

Larry was awesome. Keith was kind of a cry-baby. He blamed poor J.J. for that injury he sustained on his wedding. He was just a jerk all around. It was his clumsy butt who caused his own injury, not J.J. He didn't even thank J.J. for PAYING for his (Keith's and Thelma's) wedding. That turd! I think Thelma would have been better off with Larry.
