Why was the family preparing for Henrietta's visit like she was a movie star? lol

[TVFactFan]

Florida was telling Michael to comb his hair and change his clothes and telling james to change his clothes. All this for what?

It was Henrietta who was the one who had to impress THEM not the other way around lol

I think I remember that episode. What did Henrietta look like? Can you show me a picture? What's her real name? If you can't show a picture, i'll look her up on imdb.com.

Tina Andrews

Ok thanks. Who was she to the Evans family? A relative? Why did Florida act like she was somebody special and the family should've got themselves looking good for her arrival? LOL.

JJ's girlfriend.

So why would Florida think that the family should make themselves look good for her when she isn't anybody special? LOL.

She looks a little bit like Debbi Morgan when she was on What's Happening in this picture.

I was thinking the same thing about Debbi Morgan. The eyes and the mouth look very much alike. Debbi has dimples. I don't remember if the Henrietta character has dimples.

Anyway, she was special to JJ so the parents were trying to make a good impression for him.
Still, I agree that Florida went overboard on trying to impress this girl.
One thing that bothered me is that at the end of the episode, Florida and James just let Henrietta leave when they originally invited her over for dinner. They should have insisted that she stay for dinner.
I think it was adorable that JJ admired Henrietta so much. JJ had a beautiful heart.

Florida, being the good mother that she was, would use any excuse, any excuse at all to make her family put forward a good appearence. This episode is a shining example of that.

Yeah I said "kind of like Debbi" because Henrietta doesn't have dimples but everything else is similar in this episode. I don't think Debbi and Tina Andrews(Henrietta) look alike in other roles they played, but in this episode sans dimples Tina favored her!

Debbi Morgan was not attractive to me so this is a bad comparison
