Default Why the hell did LOU have a bigger role on the show than Judy???

WTF did viewers have to keep looking at Carl's Boss?? He was featured more during the 92-93 season than someone who actually lived in the house. I do this is when they could have defintely had some eps about Judy instead of GOOFY A$$ LOU


Damm I hated that man

Yes, so true. I didn't care for her character because like you said, they didn't give you a chance to like her. So it was no big deal to see her gone other than the obvious, "Where did she go?" Not that she added much to the show, but it was the Chuck Cunningham syndrome of deleting a character totally.

Yup, how could you miss a character that was seen but never HEARD?-lol Which is why I never knew the character was removed until I came to this board. It never dawned on me even when watching the show on ABC on Friday Nights-lol

OMG, you didn't notice her missing until this board? That's crazy. I didn't realize until a few episodes and wondered where was she. I kept thinking, "Oh, next episode." Never a "next" episode.

Nope, I think it had a lot to do with the fact that I was older than her and was in between Laura's and Eddie's ageat the time. During the time she was like 9 or 10 and I was in highschool so I wasn't looking for her to begin with when Fridays came around-lol


I think her and brieanna is the same age

I didn't realize til last night just how much Lou was on the show. Out of 6 episodes last night he was in FIVE and not just in one scene either. It is weird though how he disappears after Season 3 or maybe early Season 4. I don't remember him at all after that.

and Judy only had a small part in one if I remember correctly("Dudes"), which was the only episode Lou wasn't in.

Yeah, the Lt. disappeared after season 3 or 4...
I thought his interactions with Carl during some of the eps were funny.

Lou's last appearance was Number One with A Bullett. Itwas also his only appearance in season 4. So he was in seasons 2 and 3, and then one episode of season 4. Judy DEFFINITLY should have had a bigger role though. She deffinitly had good one liners. I think she should've said SOMTHING in Farewell My Laura. She was just there for two seconds as the maid. Though it would've been bad if Johnny (Urkel) questioned her because she would've been shot. She's too young to be shot, same reason Richie wasn't shot I guess. It was dumb for Lou to be questioned, he wasn't shown until the questioning and they didn't need him. Judy should've been the receptionist instead of Max! What do we really know about her besides she likes barbies (referenced in season 1 and season 1-3 opening credits), dislikes vegetables (referenced in season 1 and 2), she doesn't like reading (referenced in season 2. I guess Harriet made her like it though, since she's reading in the season 4 opening), and shes jealous of not being the baby of the family. I posted this before, but she has a big part in this episode so watch!

I guess they thought Lieutenant Murtaugh was a funny character, and therefor, they gave him some spotlight. Actually, I like him somewhat. But yeah, they sure should have given Judy some spotlight too.
