Rosalind - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Why do you guys think of the Rosalind character?

I thought she was cute. I think they should have made her a regular.

The actress that played her Bianca Lawson is a very good actress. She is also Richard Lawson's daughter. Her credits include "Save the Last Dance", "Bones" and "the Temptatons" (she played Diana Ross).

Interesting enough one of her first acting roles was a guest staring role on Steve's earlier sitcom "Me and the Boys." Steve probably thought she was good on "Me and the Boys." (though this has nothing to do with Steve, Bianca also guested starred on several episodes of "Sister Sister", one of the "Sister Sister" episodes she guest along side the actor who played Steve's oldest son Artis on "Me and the Boys")

She recently guest starred on an episode of "The Big House", and is in the new Jamie Foxx and Gabrielle Union (who also guest starred on "Steve Harvey show") movie "Breakin' All the Rules."

Bianca Lawson is an excellent actress, and would have been a fine edition as regular on "Steve Harvey show". Better than Lydia, that is for sure.

She also seems to play alot of "mean" girl or "snooty" girl roles. She also had a short lived UPN show where she was the Professor's (from the Parkers) daughter. Any way she would have been a good addition.

That show was "Goode Behavior." A short lived 1996/97 sitcom, that also starred Sherman Hemsley (who Bianca also worked with on an episode of "Sister Sister") and Dorien Wilson (who played the professor on the Parkers) who of course also had a recuring role during the second season of "Steve Harvey show" as Warrington Stelle.

But despite both having recurring roles in the second season, Bianca and Dorian never appeared on the same episodes of "Steve Harvey show."

I looked up her resume on IMDb, she has done some dramatic roles, and she was excellent in the other roles I have seen her in. What were the producers thinking replacing a talented actress with Lori Beth Denberg?

TVJE u just won't leave Lydia alone will u hahahahahahahahaha. I used to watch Goode Behavior tv show. The woman who was Dorien Wilson's wife on that show was in Passenger 57 movie with Wesley Snipes & she also played on a episode of Steve Harvey Show. Her real name is Alex Datcher. She is fine. I like Bianca Lawson too as a actress. She shouldn't have wasted her time with Bones movie with Snoop Dogg. That movie was horrible & gross. I don't understand how she could be Jamie Foxx's woman in Breakin All The Rules movie. She looks too young for him.

I know I pick on Lydia a lot, she is an easy target. But on my previous comment was more of why did they let Bianca go comment, then bash Lydia comment.

You know it is a very small world, in the sitcom casting world. Sherman Hemsley might be the only "Goodie Behavior" star, not to guest star on "Steve Harvey."

Did you know she got her start on "Saved by the Bell: The New Class"? She was on that show for the first two seasons before moving on to better things. Hard to beleive, she's come a long way from that. On Saved by the Bell E! True Hollywood story, Dustin Diamond said the New Class cast was inferrior to the original cast. I guess that is true, compairing the two casts as a whole. But Bianca was the exeption. But just the thought of the guy who played Screech, criticizing her acting ability, or calling her inferior to him as an actor, just makes me laugh.

Bianca Lawson is a very good comedic and dramatic actress, I hope she gets another tv series, either a sitcom or a drama.

Screech's real name is Dustin Diamond? He can't talk about nobody's acting ability cause he's a f****n geek LOL. He's probably a geek in real life. I hate to see dudes like him on tv who chase after a girl over & over again when the girl doesn't want him. He knew that Lark Voorhies didn't want him but he continued to bother her. I don't like pests like that. I know that was just a tv show but u got people like that in real life.

When Bianca was in "Breakin All the Rules", she was reunited with someone she worked with before. Gabrielle Union did a guest appearence on "Goode Behavior."

Unrelated note, as I said on the "Parkers" board, Dorien Wilson's future "Parkers" co star Countess Vaughn made a crossover guest appearance on "Goode Behavior", as Kim Parker. At the time the Kim Parker character was regular on "Moesha."
