She always seemed an outsider (I mean that in a good way)

Cindy just seems "normal" compared to the rest

[yulan]

I would really like to see her getting drunk with the other moms

[HipHopKingMike]

That'll be good

I liked when she joined in the dance with the girls at the Slumber party she was so up for it and you could tell it's not something she had done in a while.

In season 5, she basically takes a back seat to observe all the craziness of Val

[HipHopKingMike]

And don't I love the craziness of Val

[Crystal Clear]

Yeah but at the same time, I hate that growing sense of Jim and Cindy being fazed out of the show

[HipHopKingMike]

I didn't like the fact they decided not to continue with Jim and Cindy after end of S5 but I guess I could see why they decided not to have them around anymore

There was too much of that going on in TV shows in the 90's -- writers getting bored of parental figures.

I feel that it gives a great disrespect to the impact they have on these teens' lives. Plus, Brandon allowing everyone in the town to move in with him? I never felt that it was realistic that Jim would be okay with this

[HipHopKingMike]

I thought it was silly getting friends to live with Brandon once his parents left. Jim and Cindy were very figures for the show and I think losing them made the show go in the wrong direction. In every show like this one, you need great on-screen parents no matter what

[Crystal Clear]

Totally agree

I don't care what anyone says - you're never too old to want your parents around for support.

[HipHopKingMike]

Totally

The Hong Kong exit was such jump the shark material. I mean, 90210 has had its ridiculous story arcs, but this rushed way of handling the Walshs' departure was ridiculous.

Then again, so was the 'let's pretend Brenda never existed' mentality of the show after about episode 7

[HipHopKingMike]

I think the show is terrible giving people good exits

[Crystal Clear]

It definitely was. Andrea's probably rated as one of the best because it brought the cast together after they had been separated all season... But it also felt rushed.
