MISSING? During season 5 when you was left with Willona, Thelma, Penny, and Michael?-lol It wasn't that big of a deal when James and Florida was on the show because both of those characters were strong enough to make you forget that J.J was missing but in season 5? Not good at all, maybe that's why Frank appeared again in that ep because what kind of storyline could u have with Willona, Penny, Thelma, and Michael?

I agree, none of those characters were strong enough to carry their own show. I still don't get how all of those actors were allowed to take time off from the show.

I agree, how hard can it be to show up for work for a half-hour once a week show? I can't imagine it takes that much time, lol. I wonder if they still got paid if they missed a show? I sure as hell wouldn't miss any shows, lol.

I never missed JJ in the episodes he wasn't in. So it didn't bother me none, I never realized he was missing

I can understand that in seasons 2 and 3 but not season 5. Well I guess you were satisfied looking at Penny-lol

I went to a taping of a sitcom once and the taping itself lasted over 3 hours. That of course didn't count rehearsals.

I liked the Penny character, I had no problems with her. JJ got on my nerves more then Penny.

I realize it takes more than a half hour to make a show. Even if they couldn't be in the whole show, they could still have been in a 5 minute scene or something, seems to me. In comparison to shooting a soap opera or something, it can't be that demanding.
