Default Something that should have been removed from the season 8 Opening Credits

"Kimberly on the couch at the end" lol

During the opening credits you barely see clips of Kimberly and then all of a sudden she appears on the couch at the end. Not only that she is not seen in any of these season 8 episodes so why even have her in the opening at all?

Seems like having her credited as a guest star would have made more sense

I wish they had credited her in the opening credits but I am glad they did keep her in some clips including the one at the end with the rest of the family. That was good that they did that.

Yeah, I'm surprised too.She wasnt in it as much in season 8. Btw, during the season 8 opening credits, you see Willis hovering over Arnold and at the sametime you see someone hovering over Arnold. Was that the Gooch?

Exactly! I liked Willis with the Jeri Curl. I wanted one as a kid. Now, I'm glad I didn't get it as I would have had activator everywhere. LOL.

Solomon, you're hardcore.

I was jealous. I didn't get to have one. However, I got the fade May of 1986. My sister told me that I would like it. I was not enthusiastic at first but learned to like it.

Kimberly is in some Season 8 episodes, though. In the (dreadful) episode in which Arnold and Sam want to arrange a dinner-date between an overworked Drummond and Maggie, Arnold tells Kimberly that he spies on her during dates. And then -- in some of the worst blocking you'll ever see -- Kimberly makes a half-assed attempt to get her hands on Arnold and Sam is able to keep her away from Arnold, which was ridiculous. It's cringe-worthy to watch.

Yes, the acting was so bad, high school kids doing Shakespeare would be more believable.
