Why did Dee have to start hanging at the soda Shop? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Damm, I hated this girl. I was alright with seeing Raj and the guys at the soda shop and checking out girls. Also the insult battles between Rerun and Shirley. But when Dee appears at the soda shop that was the jump the shark moment for me. Just seeing her at the house was fine.

I guess she had no friends.

Her character was very annoying.

I hated Dee too, TVShow Analyzer. It's like she had no social life of her own, always getting in Raj's business. Raj should have smacked her with one of his books.

Maybe she had to meet Raj there after school. However, there eps where she was already home.

Another thing about Dee I hated was that she got sassy with adults.

Wow, everyone hates Dee.

I thought it was funny how she got right into the heart of the matter with her comments.

Whether it be, "look how you screwed up- so pay me" or just a good old sarcastic ribbing of the obvious.

You can blame the writers if you don't like Dee, but she was ok with me. I mean, you need a comic foil don't you?

I liked Dee, and yes, she was sassy, and very disrespectful towards adults, but that is what made her character funny; she did not take anybody's bull....

I will admit that Dee was OK in the 78-79 season of course because she was older. But that first season she was so so annoying.

Mabel King should have gotten most of Dee's lines, especially the in-your-face-put-you-in-check lines. The fact that she was a kid talking back to grown-ups made her character unlikable, at least to me.

I thought that made it work better- the audacity of this child talking to older people like that. A lot of the time she cut to the heart of the matter and usually it was that someone was doing something wrong- and everyone knew it- just the fact that a kid was calling them on it made them mad.

Sometimes I thought it was pretty damn funny.

There really wasn't much to argue with Momma- she was the adult. I don't think Dee got her lines.

The first thing that went through my head during the first season was why wasn't Dee at the soda shop. Her being there to me just made the scene funnier. Her character add's alot to the program. I dont belive she has to be there all the time, but it is good to see her there once in awhile.
