Do you think that "End of the Rainbow" was a rush job? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I surely think so. Someone made an excellent point one time concerning that. I think it was on here, but they said that GT probably knew they weren't going to be renewed for another season, so they threw everything together at once.

How can EVERYBODY have so much luck? And this time, no one was there to take it away from them. JJ becomes a cartoon arteeeeest, as he says. Keith, after suffering a Willis McGahee type injury, signs with the Bears. Thelma becomes pregnant, they're scheduled to move into a new apartment?? Why not a house? Have you ever heard of a football player, along with his wife, living in a apartment/condo? And Florida goes with them. Think of Thelma's response: She didn't know how to take care of a child and she would feel comfortable with her mother there with her. Nothing wrong with that. My mother will turn 76 next Tuesday and if she was in the same boat, hell yeah she would live with me. My wife and I would just have to "do it" in the bedroom rather than all over the house

As for Mike, he should've at least bought a car or something to make him look good. What did he say? He was living on campus. So what, LOL.

Lastly, by a coincidence, Willona moves into the same apartment as the Andersons and Florida. Wait a minute!! How did Willona become a part of this. To my knowledge, she didn't seem to have a problem living there in the projects. And she just "happened" to move into the same apartment as T and K. If she worked the boutique all of those years, I guess she did make some serious dough.

It was real corny to have Willona buying a APT in the same buliding. It could have been elsewhere

They wanted to tie up a lot of loose ends for all the screwjobs they were doing and didn't give the show the dignity it deserved.

Exactly. I don't live in Chicago, so I know nothing about Lake Shore Drive. The way they talk about it, it must a rich neighborhood.

GeorgeWBushGOP · 09-07-2005, 03:19 PM

That's show biz.

In the words of Michael Evans, "That's where all the Rich Blacks live and eat their chicken BROILED"-LOL

Willona got a promotion as "Head Buyer", that is why she moved out of the projects.

She seemed to always be the head buyer after season one - LOL
but yeah, this was a sorry ending. Like i said before when this thread was started a while back by someone else, I said they should have had a two-part episode and stretched it out.

As for Michael, what's the big Yahoo for him for anyways??? He could have moved onto campus anytime. Why didn't he do it sooner? And please don't remind me of that episode abt that white girl. that doesn't count!!!!

Brian Damage · 09-07-2005, 08:17 PM

I thought JJ was poor, how did he afford that custom made super hero outfit to help sell his comic book character? lol

What part of the episode did JJ wear that costume, I forgot...

Brian Damage · 09-07-2005, 08:23 PM

He wore the silly thing before he went on his big interview to try and sell his DYNO Man super hero character.

Hmmmm, I'd forgotten, I knew abt the costume, but i was just trying to remember what part of the episode he wore that. Yeah, where did he get the $$$$. Do you think he held out on some of that lottery loot????????

craftman · 09-08-2005, 01:52 AM

I think the ending was perfect, I Loved it.

Did y'all realize people, did y'all realize, in the last season the show went on hiatus because of low rating and the producers (I think) got the word the show was gonna be cancelled so the writers finally did right by us and decided to give us some closure on the Evans family. So I think that's why everything good had to happen in one episode all at once to end without wondering did the Evans ever get out of the ghetto. I thnk it was
DYN-O-MITE!!!
