Default Out of all the characters created after James left....

.....I didn't mind Bookman. Even though he was cold-hearted, he helped made the show funnier with everybody dissin' him.LOL But, I wished they would have shown his home. I wanted to see what his personal life was like.

I would have prefer to see Bookman's Home Life instead of Penny.

I know you didn't like the Penny character, but her character was harmless and modest. You can't really get down on that character because she was created something out of a patch up. Now, if you really want to get down on characters, get down on Carl and Keith.

No I can't because Carl and Keith added humor to the show, Penny added NOTHING

Humor? I'm sorry, but Carl and Keith did nothing make me laugh! These were the worse characters to be showcased on the show! At least Penny was added to freshen up Willona's character.

Keith was funny when making fun of J.J, Sweet Daddy, and Bookman. Carl was funny when making fun of J.J. Penny was funny when........

Penny wasn't meant to be funny. Keith making fun of anybody wasn't funny. This dude had no talent. He was in the way. So was Carl. Case closed.

Penny wasn't meant to be funny???? Well why did they have her say-"DYNOMITE"? You can't tell me that the producers were not trying to generate laughs from that.

I disagree. Penny did add something, although not as much as some of the other characters. Her storyline where she was abused, was very good.

The only thing Janet Jackson tried to add was that dumb act she would do when she was actinglike an older woman. She brought that dumb act from Jackson Five Variety Hour that aired in the summer of 1977, right before her appearance on Good Times.

One thing that did annoy me about Penny was when she did her impersonation of Mae West.

Right. Mae West should've stayed on the Jacksons Variety Show. I had a feeling that they were gonna do something like that w/ Janet.

The Sonny and Cher scene with Michael and Penny also came from the Jacksons Vareity Show
