Damm that scene made her look like a weirdo-lol Grown women starts boo hooing because she finds out her DAD can't afford to send her to college. They could have just eliminated the crying part and left eveything else in when she walked in the living and said she didn't want to go to harvard.

No she wasn't, she had her hopes up and she had been dreaming of going to Harvard. I don't see anything wrong with her crying, her feels was hurt and her dreams were dashed.

If she's been thinking that she's going to Harvard from the time she was in (lets say) 4th grade until 12th. You don't think that she shouldn't cry?? That is very insensitive.

Tears rolling down the eyes, not boo hooing like she was doing.

Not to nitpick i know it was brought up recently,but do y'all think it's really odd Laura and Steve was in High School for 6 years?

Umm... I don't think there's an age limit to cry.

You know, going by the amount of posts you've made and the constant worthless topics just to say lol or something, I think you just post for the sake of...posting. Reminds me of this guy on the Home Improvement board who went nuts just cuz Mark did an "evil" laugh.

"No guys, but WHY did he laugh that way?!"

-_-

But anyway, you are never too old to cry especially something like getting into a big time colleege like Harvard. It was her dream, and it was shattered. No, a 18 or 19 year old girl is NOT too old to cry, if anything one would expect a teenage female to cry over not getting excepted into a college.

I stopped watching the show regularly during this time, was there a conclusion to the issue? Did she ever end up going to Harvard, or was it just a shattered dream? If she didn't get to go, I wish they wouldn't have brought Harvard into the picture at all. I know that Carl and Harriette had a household to keep up, but it seems odd that they didn't put aside any money for Laura to go to school.

I can tell from the eps I'm watching now that I stopped watching the show too around this time. I don't even remeber these eps. Like the one with Laura and Steve Kissing at the prom

It was five years (1991-1996) Time froze between 1992 and 1994 for Laura, Steve and Eddie who was a senior for a second year in 1993.

For Solomon, I do remember Laura kissing Steve at the prom. I hated that simply because he was dating Myra at the time.

Laura had every right to cry. When I saw this ep on TGIF, I knew that the writers would conjure up some way for Kellie Williams to stay on the show and they did. Shows pull the cliche of having the character talking about going to some far away college and then if they still have a contract with the show, the wrtiting is changed so that the character goes to a local college or university.

BTW, Laura's short hair is not cutting it on the 3J's missing episode. The hair looks like one of Diana Ross' wigs from a 1966 Ed Sullivan episode.

Since you brought up the 3J episode, When did the Winslows get another attic? In the pilot episode when Grandma Winslow came to stay with them didn't Eddie moved into the Attic so that his Grandma could have his room??
