[QUOTE="pete lashmar, post: 179609, member: 606"] I have really big issues with Lucy, but not with Charlene (although some scenes the acting was a bit cringe IMO). There are 2 things that viewers really hate - a kid genius and a spoiled brat, and Lucy was definitely a spoiled brat. The problem is always the same, the viewers get turned off by entitlement, the temper tantrums and mood swings. The writing for the character was very poor, every year it was "Who's Lucy going to date this year", when what they needed to do was give her a best friend (yes I know Muriel was around, but she was a very static dull character) and have them be girls about town - they needed to write far more comedy for Lucy, when given the one liners she had Charlene absolutely nailed them. So for me, Lucy should have been the Paris Hilton of the 80's, but with a lot more dignity, a lot more comedy and just enjoying life instead of being a victim every season. [/QUOTE]
