I was wondering what everyone's opionion is on Tina Yother's job at playing Jennifer in Family Ties.

My opinion, I'm sorry to say, isn't high.

She didn't do a horrible job or anything like that. It's just that many of her lines were said without much feeling.

I also think it would have been abit better if she hadn't gained so much weight or gotten those hairstyles....

i agree that tina didn't say her lines with much enthusiasm, but I think it was becasue she had a dry sense of humor. Her character Jennifer was supposed to be in there every once in awhile to say a smartass remark to ALex. But there was a couple episodes where she did act a lot. For example, the Valley Girl episode.

I disagree.

Though it is true many of her comments were meant to be dry, not all of them.

Many of them should have been said with feeling. She did say them with SOME feeling,

but not near enough.

When was Tina ever fat? And even if she was what does that have to do with the way she acts? I think the reason so many people think she did a bad job is because the show mainly focused on the other characters. I think if there would have been more shows that Tina headlined she would be considered just as good as the rest of the cast. I think she did a great job myself.
