Does anyone know if Janet Jackson was approaced about the awards?/TV Land Award Clip - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I am not sure as to why she did not show up. Was she too big of a star to appear? I would think not since there were other big time actors that did appear. I don't know.

I know what you mean about the big star thing. But Diana Ross was there, and I see her as a bigger star than Janet. Even though her last hit was in 1984, Diana is an icon diva.

Janet Jackson wasn't apart of the Original Cast so she didn't need to be there. In all Honesty, Johnny Brown didn't need to be the either. Just John amos, Janet Dubios, Ralph Carter, Jimmy Walker, and Bernadette Stanis

She was not part of the main cast and was not integral to the show.

Exactly-lol That's like asking why the guy who played Keith wasn't there

All right now. Be nice you know who. She was a part of the cast. Bookman was there and I still think that Janet could have been there. IT really does matter to me. It would have been nice to have seen her there. John Amos was given an award along with the rest of the cast from MaryTyler Moore and he was not intergal to the show. She could have shown up. I just wanted to know some factual information. If anyone has any facts, post them please.

Solomon, it isn't a question of she shouldn't have been there because she wasn't an original cast member, but she was still a part of the show and it would have been nice to see her there.

I wish they could have appeared on Good Times together and John could have smacked him.

I think Johnny Brown deserved to be there, he was on the show longer than Janet and Ben.

Brieannas21 · 04-07-2006, 01:16 PM

I doubt that she was asked, and even if she was asked she probably just decided not to attend, I know I would've. I wouldn't want to sit through that long boring "awards" show that doesn't really amount to anything.
