Any episode about Vera straight up sucked! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

GARFIELDKOOL · 02-27-2008, 08:20 PM

Why do the writers constantly have episodes about her? Her personality is a kid, and these episodes about her are unfunny and senseless. She's best playing off someone, not being the focus!

Your thread title made me laugh.

I hated the episode where Tommy fell in love with her. Too obnoxious.

What else? Damn, I can't even think of any other ones right now. They are not that memorable.

There was an episode where she was acting psychotic about a movie star. I forget which one at the moment, but she thought the tv character was real.

GARFIELDKOOL · 02-27-2008, 08:35 PM

Sorry about that Irene, but I stand by that statement.

And Brian, that episode where she thought George Burns was real was dumb also. All episodes about her are far-fetched.

I agree, Vera was a great sidekick, but NOT a leading lady.

Did Jolene (other than when she first came on) have any episodes around her? I know Belle did, but I can't recall if Jolene did.

Yes, obviously her debut episode, and one that came on the other day about some nitwit security guard liking her. There are a few more, but those came to mind first.

I haven't caught ALICE for a while, so I don't know if any episodes have shown Jolene having an episode revolve around her. I couldn't remember and the one you mentioned above, I still can't remember it.

OMG I so agree, that episode was so frustrating to watch. No one can be that naive. If I were Alice, that would have been the end of our friendship.

Sorry guys, I am a big Vera fan and enjoyed those episodes. There will be no throwing of the tomatoes. LOL.

Don't throw tomatoes...or throw straws in the air.

FredScuttle · 02-27-2008, 10:35 PM

I don't know if they specifically center around her, but there's one where Jolene is playing softball, another one where she's a stewardess (or flight attendant, if you prefer

There was another one that had a bunch of her family staying with her.

Ireneparalegal · 02-27-2008, 10:39 PM

^^^Thank you. I remember the softball one. I was just wondering if the Jolene character got her fair share of episodes to revolve around her.

HA HA HA! Love It!

I love me some Vera Louise Gorman Novack. She improved throughout the years.

Yes she did. If you compare her to the first season, you'd swear the early Vera was a "special special child." Later on she just becomes "a child."
