WHEN IT MOVED FROM GLENLAWN TO NEW YORK CITY. I REALLY FEEL THEY SHOULD HAVE ENDED IT IN THE 85-86 SEASON. DID ANYONE LIKE THE NEW YORK YEAR

Eric777 · 03-31-2005, 08:43 PM

No the NY episodes were terrible
They should have stayed in Glenlawn
Rosie O'Donnell ruined the show
She wasnt funny at all

I guess I'm the only person who liked the New York episodes . I have to say that a couple of the New York episodes were bad but I liked them all but two. I just hate the way it all ended, why would we care that Mama Mabel had a date with a man that she knew yrs before. It should have ended way better. But I guess they didn't know that they were going to get pulled.

I think the last season had so many new characters that it was predictable to understand how Nell / Addy / Joey would interact with non-family characters.

I don't think I've seen all of season 6, but do recall some that I liked, Nell loaning Addy money, Christmas, and Nell working to please the boss.

After the 85-86 season it kind of lost some of its spark.

Nell was still beautiful, but it just wasn't the same.

Has anyone heard of a reunion episode? Maybe Joey and Nell could get together, that would be hot.

Well since Nell Carter died in 2003, I don't think she'll be reuniting with Joey Lawrence for a reunion special.

Well I couldnt tell ya which was which since I aint seen it in so lawng- if u have any episodes for trade or sell email me at mmadluv7too@yahoo.comHere is something I got already-

Thanks- it seems as though no one EVER comes here and NO ONE EVER helps other GBA fans- its a lil crazy- but thanks- got some more too

Wildchats · 05-10-2005, 10:35 AM

Yeah, GAB had bad episodes in 1986-1987. (Harry the Hampster one of them, because it was cute, but stupid like the final episode to the Brady Bunch "The Hair -Brained Scheme" but yeah, it was good with the musical number and had a lot of cast in it). If it was renewed it wouldn't last past 1987-1988, but it would have been nice for another season, and just to see what actually happened with Mama and Ernie. I think he was gonna be a frequent Guest Star/ cast member had the show been renewed for a 7th year.

Nell's alive? I wish it were true, but sadly, it's not the case

I agree that the show lost it after the '85-'86 season. Moving timeslots did not help, because I used to watch it all the time as a kid until the last season, when they moved it to 9 pm, and I used to have bedtime on school nights at 9, so I never saw the last season until years later in reruns.

I don't remember the NY years at all.

I do. I did like the New York years when those eps aired. One reason in part had to do with the fact that I spent the summer of 86' there with my grandmother plus that is where all my family is and Joey Lawrence was my childhood hero along with Jaleel White when he was on "Charlie and Company". When I look back at the NY eps on VHS, I do see missing elements. I remember seeing Rosie O'Donnell on Star Search. She was talking with Ed McMahon about her new role on Gimmie A Break and what character she would be playing. I would have like to have seen more Kaniski family members there. All the girls were fired but at least Sam got recurring status.

THANK GOD!

I am not the only one.

There was no use for Rosie.

It didn't felt right at all.

I hated Rosie in those days...........Now, I am a big fan - I loved her on her former talk show.

Rosie add nothing to Gimmie A Break.
