Judyann came along midway through the 9th season & only had about 12 episodes to really get acquainted with the role. I think scripts had already been written for a 10th season, but CBS was not happy with the low ratings season 9 was getting (though, I think they were already far gone when ABC canceled the show after season 8) & they did not pick it up. Not only are there a lot of "what ifs" involved with regards to those unfilmed episodes, but who is to say maybe Judyann would have gotten the chance to make Harriette her own? I do agree, though, Judyann's approach was very different than Jo Marie's. Much like when Daphne Maxwell Reid took over Aunt Viv on Fresh Prince from Janet Hubert. The first Harriette/Viv was not afraid to be an equal partner in disciplining the kids, whereas the second Harriette/Viv expressed more disappointment in their actions rather than laying down the law.

Everytime theres a character change like that the show is bound to be cancel

Facts!!! Wasnt the same anymore the show losted its touch!!!

I definitely agree!!!!! JoMaries Harriet took absolutely NO shit from anybody!!!!! Judyann's Harriet, while she DID put her foot down occasionally, didn't quite stand up for herself like JoMarie did.

Payton's Harriette would never interfered with Eddie's job as a cop because she knew how dangerous the job is. She used to train as a police officer in the same police academy that Carl trained at. Thus, Harriette would understand it better and let Eddie do his job as long as she knows he's safe. Elder's version interfered with his job and was called out by Carl for it.

anjelheaven she is so is bernadette stanis and they are both beautiful woman!!!

After 98 when Family Matters was over, she started to be underrated. When she started in the show Perfect Strangers, she became very popular at the time right before Family Matters and right after.

@@bryanmarrero9817 what episodes of Perfect Strangers did she occur in?

Yess I was emotional when she stood up for herself

and never showed up

Yess

Deen Akeredolu-Ale miss jomarie did her thing

Go Harriet 👏👏

Yess

Ate it??! More like she DEVOURED IT!!

toplaycool21 i agree the 90s were flawless

@@angeljohnson6665 This was from the 80s. 1989.

Aranel Dragon aww so sweet but this episode is from 1989 things were diffrent back then

@@angeljohnson6665 the year doesn't matter. Women can still take care of a household of children and work a full time job and then some.

You go mama

True though, she still wouldn't get the job but, at least she stood up for herself - didn't leave pouting and most importantly : she held her head high and didn't lose respect by telling the next applicant to enter

@@greatest_bumble_bee_dude If you see the full episode spoiler Alert she gets the job

Yes - in the show she gains the wanted employment opportunities though, I'm referring to real life scenarios

Lies

exactly

I agree. JoMarie and Reginald had better chemistry. She was very no-nonsense during her first appearance on Perfect Strangers when she was an elevator operator at the Chicago Chronicle

Yeah, she ain't home... LOL!!!

J Miller ...no mo!!!

Why yall say she aint home? Its 3 kids

Frau Steiner she’s upstairs

A disrespectful putz that was also likely racist

The gr8 trans4mable bumble bee exactly

I wouldn't even want to work for that bastard anyway.

I agree with you. Being a mother, being a great parent, etc are excellent accomplishments, but in the real world, if a job requires management experience, bosses usually don't count being a parent as management experience.

Me neither

Well, It Actually Was Because JoMarie Payton France Who Played On Perfect Strangers As The Elevator Operator And Then Reggie VelJohnson Also Appeared On The Show In The Episode "Crimebusters" From Season 4

Season 9, Episode 9: A Pain in the Harassment

😭😭😭😭😭

Biscuits McGee Judy was written out the show!

Tygra Gonzalez What a shitty job they did.

Shamar Campbell yes those were the good old days

gpe41 why lol?

Amiqmiiqmiiqmm89

J Miller yes miss jomarie is a flawless actress

Youre weak ass would just take the firing and not say anything, lmao. If i tried to fire someone (because i am a business owner) for me not THINKING they cant do something they havent had an opportunity to TRY.. and they told me THAT... id give them a chance.

karateflix cool! 👍🏻

karateflix she wasn’t being fired, it was a job interview. Look, point being, being a wife and mother doesn’t qualify anyone for a management position and the fact that Harriet uses that to try and justify being given an opportunity is ridiculous. She’s comes off acting as if she’s the first wife/mother to ever apply for a job, lol. Again, I admire the passion but...cmon. Everything she listed as her “management” experience isn’t any different than what any other spouse/parent of a household does on the daily. She’s trying to make it sound like her domestic responsibilities make her special and above other applicants... It doesn’t.

With all due respect, I don't see it that way. The guy doing the interview said that she had no qualifications for a management position, and she stated that being a parent was a management position. She didn't say it made her superior to the other applicants, just that it meant she had the experience he was looking for.

The bosses I have worked for would have said they admired her passion, but would have sternly reiterated their perceived lack of experience on her part and told her to look elsewhere. I feel for her and everyone else that has had to defend themselves against tone deaf hiring managers like this guy. I’ve been in Harriet’s shoes more times than I’d care to admit.
