was at it's best when the Guys were at the soda Shop or just together period. At the soda shop you have the classic interactions between Shirley and Rerun and I know there can't be anyone who disagree with me.

It seems like all what Mabel did was walk thru the front door with groceries and disappear into the kitchen, or she was coming home from or going to work, but I still liked her. I was sort of disappointed she wasn't around much after Season 1.

To me, she was in the way. If you watched this show as a Teenager, you really only wanted to see Raj and the guys and Shirley. The fact that Mrs. Thomas was so much older, i found myself not being interested

I disagree totally. Look at season 3 without Mabel, it stunk! Mabel wasn't the best character in the world, but she was pivotal to the show.

Nope that wasn't why the show stunk. In season 3 it stunk because they moved Shirley in the Thomas House, added New characters, and started having more scenes at the Apartment instead of the soda shop. Nothing to do with Mabel being Gone

Brian Damage · 07-30-2005, 02:08 PM

I liked Mabel as a character, she didn't have too big of a role so she wasn't a distraction to the show.

I agree with the soda shop scenes... always a treat. I also loved the school episodes in the classroom, that comes a close second. I loved all witty answers Rerun would give.

I think the show was at it's worst when they were at the house

I always wonder why Mabel would crack fat jokes about herself, and then yell at Dee "There are going to be no more fat jokes in house young lady!"

I always liked it when Mabel said "Get me the belt!"

How many Anti-Mabel threads can you come up with?If you have it on DVD just delete all the scenes she was in ok?She will always be part of the show so get over it.You gotta have bigger problems than posting anti-Mabel threads.

I don't know if I could say Mabel was not important

First Season

when rerun trys out for the Rockets
whose Ideal was it to send Raj up there instead Rerun

Mabel's

It seems like when it came to some of the funniest show that I like
Mabel did play a big part in it

So I can't really say that she was not important

I believed Mama was needed on the show.

Their father wasn't around that much.

Somebody need to put the kids in THEIR PLACE!

Mr. Television · 08-02-2005, 08:08 PM

I always liked Mabel. I think one of the reasons I didn't like the 3rd season as much was because she wasn't on it. I think I might be one of the few who actually liked Dee too.

nerrad · 08-03-2005, 07:08 AM

...and she didn't mind giving beatings either. Both Raj and Dee got one.
