I wonder if the show would of gone on a little longer if the behind the scenes drama with Kirk and the original creators/producers leaving hadn't of happened?

I read that Joanna and Alan wanted one more year with Luke taking a bigger role.

Really? I hadn't heard that. A bigger role over, say, Ben? Would you of liked that?

**Melis** · 05-29-2019, 05:35 PM

I liked Luke. Ben was boring, so I can see why they wanted that. Leo is a good actor, and Joanna and Alan saw that way back then.

And it wasn't like Carol had a big part through a lot of it because Tracey was away. I guess they needed to fill in some of the void.

Yep, and he probably would have brought in some young audience. The girls liked him.

**Barrybgb** · 06-12-2019, 07:29 AM

Who was your favorite kid? I think we will all have the same answer.

**Melis** · 06-12-2019, 07:36 PM

Mike and Carol Mike was fun. I was more like Carol. Ben could be kicked to the curb. I wouldn't care.

Aw. Poor Ben. I liked Ben but not as much as he got older. I was probably more like Ben as a youngster.

He wasn't as bad as a young kid, but then he grew up and was just a waste.

**Barrybgb** · 06-17-2019, 07:24 AM

Do you think Carol and Bobby could of made it in the long run?

**Melis** · 06-17-2019, 12:53 PM

No, they were both too immature, and they wanted different things. It was cute while it lasted, but it wasn't a long-term thing.

I would have to agree.

Plus, it's fun to see the nerd and the jock together.
