How Michelle's attitude being like Jesse best handled? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Somebody252 · 02-08-2004, 02:49 PM

The writers wanted Michelle to be a young Jesse, which makes sense since he's so close to her as a toddler/preschooler. And yet, D.J. had to work to make her not be as wild as she could have been, & her attitude does improve. But,t hat's mostly behind the scenes, w/her not as focused on being proactive. So, how would you/how should they have handled this?

I have a disability that sometimes keeps me from communiting clearly.

So if you all don't like the poll, let's just see posts. Michelle was like Jesse. She would have been a lot wilder if someone didn't work behind the scenes to correct it. Taht someone had to be D.J., as no other character was really good at it.

So, let's discuss this - how should the writers have handled this. Was it great the way it was? Or if Michelle should have been stopped from saying stuff like "duh" and other rude things, how would you have handled it as the producer to make it better, to make her more polite and stuff? Do you just change the whole format w/Jesse ont he third floor? Or do you have D.J. openly discipline more?

Was that understandable?

Just to add, if you can't understand my other polls, just know the least D.J. disciplined Michelle behidn the scenes is at top, most is at the bottom.

Thought that might help.

I know, some people don't see things between episodes as canon, but this is speculatin in a ay, and they have to happen, so you may as well have fun with it. Just like Michelle put her Gumby int he microwave, as referred to in one episode - probably a few years after it happened. But, we dont' see that.

So, let's see some votes up there and talk here about this - how would you do Michelle's rude attitude, as the producers?

Surprised nobody says I sound like Kimmy yet. Though my cmment usually aren't really weird, just, well, not clear. not clear at all.

But, that's okay. it's been fun for a while, and I guess maybe it's better if I just enjoy it and not post. But, it's been great. Thanks for everything.

Do like the Book Universe - Jesse on 3rd floor from start, Michelle goes to D.J. all the time, very little attitude, she's like a little Stephanie or D.J., though minor orneriness nothing as wild as the TV Michelle or as rude, timeouts much earlier from D.J. & they work very well	1	50.00%
