Default Not only did Bookman not have any speaking parts in the last half of the Finale, BUT

it was never mentioned what direction he was going in-lol J.J was moving, Michael was going to the Dorm, Keith, Thlema, and Florida were going to Baker Street along with Penny and Willona, but Bookman was going WHERE? Still a Janitor? Damm the writers could have closed Bookman out like all the other characters

He did too have a speaking part but the TV LAND version edits it out. When Flo said "I'm gonna be a grandmother", he then says, "and I'm gonna be a grandbooger". LOL.

I guess by then Bookman had accepted the "booger" name.

I think it would've been ridiculous for Bookman to get a grand finale like the other characters. Even though he was a regular by that time, he was still not an important character. I think it would've made the finale more waaaay over the top if Bookman got a big time job or promotion or something like that.

Right. I'd never seen so much luck during an episode. I was thinking about it when I was young, but now: Thelma is pregnant, Keith mangled leg is strong enough to play football and they finally move into their own sprawling pad, JJ becomes an cartoon artist and sends the happy couple to Hawaii, Willona and Penny moves out, only for their new place to be the same as Thelma, Keith, and Florida.

It didn't have to be anything to BIG just something like-"Me and Mrs. Bookman are going to move to a town right outside Chicago. Just something stating what he was going to do whether it was remaining at the projects or moving to another section of Chicago

He sent them to the Bahamas, not Hawaii.

I'm guessing Bookman just stayed where he was - not doing his job and raiding everyone's fridges.
