Why was Rudy so depressed in the later seasons?? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

It just seem like to me in the later seasons... Rudy always had this attitude with her... like she wasn't happy & she was always complaining or just in a mood all the time... She wasn't as happy & cheerful like when she was a kid... I kinda found it annoying.I mean there were moments when she seemed happy but most of the episodes.... she always had some problem.

Probably because in the last few seasons there were about 50 people living in the house.

Yeah, which meant that she wasn't getting most of the attention anymore.

Janice Johnson · 08-06-2003, 12:19 PM

And she wasn't being considered the youngest anymore.

felicitylen · 08-06-2003, 12:49 PM

Yeah, I agree with all of you. The majority of the attention went to Olivia, or Sondra and Elvin and the twins.

I think it was because she wasn't cute anymore.

I liked Olivia, but felt sorry for Rudy. For years she'd been the Cutie Pie of the family, then her weird hippie sister had to elope and bring in another Cutie Pie which snagged away her attention. Wasn't there an episode where Rudy writes a story ranting about her jealousy towards Olivia? I thought it was funny.

Also in the end even Kenny who wasn't a regular was more popular than she was- there's an episode where Kenny is babysitting Olivia and Rudy isn't even in it. Also there's the episode where Kenny comes over after Rudy and Stanley have an argument- Kenny is in most of the episode and Rudy is only in the very last scene. Rudy got lost in the shuffle.

You know what happened to Rudy Huxtable, don't you?

She grew up and met J. J. from Good Times and married him.

They now live in Cousin Pam's Ghetto.

Not only with the houseful of people, but remember, Rudy was hitting puberty in the later years. Almost every girl I've ever known, including myself gets moody and depressed from age 13 - 16 or so. Hormones rule our bodies unfortunately!

Rudy was never thrirteen in the show though, was she?

I think Rudy was jealous of Olivia. But maybe that's not the only reason why she was depressed.

GrandGame1440 · 07-28-2007, 05:08 AM

If Raven-Symoné came in and stole my thunder, I'd be pissed too.

CWDogg · 07-28-2007, 01:57 PM

I couldn't blame her all her brother/ sisters left the house, her parents were dealing with Pam/Olivia.

She had to put up with Kenny all day long

Furienna · 07-28-2007, 03:07 PM

I just have to say, that since Rudy seemed to go from nine to eleven between fifth and sixth seasons, she must have been thirteen in the eighth and last season. My bad.

I don't think there was any jumping of her age, she was 5 in 1984 and 13 in 1992 which is 8 years
