Seeing the episodes with Judy makes me see why she was REMOVED from the show - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

She never really had any speaking parts-lol You really didn't notice she was there even though she was seen because she barely spoke. Just like in the Rachel's place ep she said NOTHING and I guess she became a Pointless Character

Lorimar Television · 07-01-2008, 11:54 AM

Yeah, she didn't have many lines, but still they should've done more with her. It's not that Jaimee can't act, it's that they wouldn't give her enough lines. Watch this episode, she has alot of lines:

I liked the character of Judy and I still think what they did to the character (and actress) was terrible. I loved the first Christmas show they did and the family was trying to find some CDs for Judy. The only one they could find was Willard Scott Sings His Favorite Camp Songs.

"Oh look, Bryant Gumbel sings backup!!"

Lorimar Television · 07-01-2008, 02:49 PM

Yeah I always like her. There's a funny Judy quotes thread on this board. I liked when Eddie was talking about being a model and she said "Are you gonna be the before or after"?

Brent88 · 07-01-2008, 02:50 PM

Did anyone notice that in the later years she is just completely forgotten? Carl and Harriette act like they only have 2 kids.

She had some great one-liners but never had many plots.

Lorimar Television · 07-01-2008, 02:54 PM

Yeah, I think we all noticed. Watch the link above, there's a Judy plot!

TVFactFan · 07-01-2008, 03:14 PM

I wish they could have made richie disappear too

Sven · 07-01-2008, 03:22 PM

Wow, thats about the most Ive ever seen that character talk in the entire series.

Lorimar Television · 07-01-2008, 04:00 PM

Why? I think it ruined the show by having characters dissapear. It lacks continuity and is very unrealistic.

He did kind of disappear towards the end of the series when 3J was introduced(which I thought was kind of pointless). The last season he's BARELY seen at all.

BTW, do you know that Bryton McClure who played Richie is arguably the most successful of the entire cast today? He's on The Young and the Restless and is *gasp* 21 years old.

That brings up another issue, did you notice how Richie went from a baby in Season 1 to a 3 or even 4-year-old in Season 2?

Yeah i knew, for years I thought he was Michael Jackson's little nephew-lol

Furienna · 07-06-2008, 10:15 PM

He could have been one of his nephews!

Now really, making Richie disappear would have made more sense than making Judy dísappear, since Richie's mother almost disappeared, while Judy's family were all still there. But I guess they thought Bryton was cuter than Jaimee.

But as I've said so many times both here and at IMDB, they should have worked on the Judy character. She was soon to become a teenager, and that would have given them the opportunity to give her some interesting plots. But nah, they had to go cold turkey on the poor thing...

Lorimar Television · 07-07-2008, 12:12 AM

I thought she was so adorable in the first two seasons. Then she grew into a very pretty girl. She deffinitly should have had more of a role. They deffinitly should have gotten rid of Richie instead of Judy. Maybe then they could say he and Rachel moved out.

Furienna · 07-07-2008, 12:16 AM

Oh yes! That would have been the right thing to do.

GeorgiaboyJeff! · 07-07-2008, 01:31 AM

Poor Judy.. She was so neglected. She ran away from home and nobody even noticed she was gone. Well it's better than her disappearing into thin air..
