At least she sounds willing to do the show again if there was a revival.

That's something.

Maybe it was a good think Aunt Rachel ended up out of the series. They already had a few adults and a number of kids and their friends and Steve. It would of been hard to serve everyone.

There were too many cast members to really give storylines too. Grandma, Aunt Rachel, Judy, Little Ritchie. And despite that, they still thought they needed to add that other kid, 3T or whoever

The ones I only thought had potential to focus on was Steve, Laura, Carl, and Waldo Geraldo Faldo

And don't forget Harriet and Eddie. Yeah, 3J was his name I believe. Laura's friend Maxine was around too but she was never a regular in the opening credits like Waldo eventually became.

3J was brought in when the show started to go downhill. You know when a show jumps the shark. They try to bring in a "cute" kid.

They already a "cute kid" about the same age with Richie. If that wasn't working, why would they think another kid they hardly used would?

Nothing else was working by then.

He was walking like he thought he was real stylin'.

**Melis** · 03-24-2018, 10:07 PM

You don't do that when you get new shoes? hmm lol

**Barrybgb** · 03-25-2018, 08:58 AM

No, I don't do anything like Steve Urkel. Lol.

It's interesting when you go back to watch the first episode. The house was slightly different. They didn't have that back area off the living room in the first episode. The porch area was enclosed in as well. I think the kitchen may of been slightly different too.
