I don't get the episodes where Janet & Larry let Jack go out with their sisters

[Chain Gang Member]

In My Sister's Keeper,Janet allows Jack to spend time with Jenny,but keeps worrying while waiting for them to come home that something might happen between them.Same goes for Larry in Larry's Sister when he tells Jack to go out with Dianne,but spends the night worrying that Jack slept with her.If they had in their mind that something would happen between Jack & their sisters,why allow Jack to take them out in the first place?

I have always thought the same thing. But in sitcoms they need scripts. In Janet's sister's case, it was spontaneous that Jack went out with her sister. She was sort of nervous about it.
Larry's sister came when new ideas came to a dead end and old scripts were revisited just like when the kids hid the puppy from Mr Roper, the kids hid a kitten from Mr. Furley in the last season. It got stale when old plots got revisted.

In Larry's case yes, he was the one who insisted on Jack taking her out so not sure why he was acting crazy lol And Janet should never have agreed to have Jack take her out if she was so concerned

Oddly enough, I really like both of these episodes especially the ending of "Larry's Sister".
But Larry slugging Jack was too much.

Especially since he set the date up

This is the answer.

Even John Ritter said they were running out of ideas towards the end. They should've hired some new writers to at least TRY to take the show in a different direction instead of ALWAYS having a misunderstanding or mixup.

This was not the first double script. I think it first started with Season 1, The Giant Killer where Jack does not stand up to a tough guy at the Regal Beagle. In Season 6, we get Macho Man where the same premise happens and Terri stands up to the tough guy and Jack feels humiliated.

These repeat scripts happened a few times on this show

That season 6 episode was a little different because we never saw that guy the rest of the ep.

True but its the same premise. Jack feels humiliated when one of his female roommates stands up to a bully at the Regal Beagle. Jack dates Janet's sister vs Jack dates Larry's sister and they both end up regretting it. The kids try and hide a puppy from the Ropers vs the kids try and hide a kitten from Mr. Furley.
All seem very similar.
