Default Episode I wish they had made...

I would like to have seen an episode where Thelma gets into some kind of mischief or trouble. Nothing big, but it was sickening to see her be such a goody good all the time. Maybe she can stay out past curfew or something.

I know. I always wished Thelma's character would have been broadened more than just being the "perfect little girl" to one with an occasional serious problem or two. It would have allowed her character to grow more rather than just constantly having her spar with JJ or be lovestruck. JMO

There was the one episode "J.J. In Trouble", where Thelma came in late at night, even though James and Florida wasn't in this episode and she really didn't get in trouble for it.

But that's what would have been good, for James and Florida to have been in an episode where Thelma screwed up. I know alot of girls that were goody goods, but there is always that one thing that got them in trouble. LOL

A little off the topic but does anyone think that Thelma ever slept with a guy while James was still around?

Your right Ireneparalegal, I can't think of nothing right now that Thelma really was gonna get it for, except in "Thelma's Young Man", when James said, "Baby, when Thelma gets in here tonight, I'ma give it to her, and give it to her good."

THelma was a token sister on the show and I guess was not as interesting character as the rest.

Some people in real life are in fact "goody goodies".

But it would have been fun to see her get the devil in her sometimes.
