The Facts of Life: Out of Peekskill: Part 1 (1986)
Continuity seems off
During Season 6, episode 17 Two Guys From Appleton, Ms. Garrett said she didn't show up to her senior prom with her then boyfriend Ted. Instead she married a salesman which was her ex-husband Mr. Garrett. She had two children with her ex-husband. Then after that, she became a maid for the Drummond family. Next she became the house mother at Eastland then she was promoted to dietitian. Next her son purchased the building which allowed her to open the shop Edna's Edibles. Now, she and her girls are partners at the shop Over Our Heads.
I understand they wanted a nice way to transition Ms. Garrett out of the show. At what point did she join the Peace Corp?
Why not let her marry Ted and they could have moved to Canada like they were originally discussing.
What happened to Ted's son attending Eastland and living in the attic?
Why is George there some episodes and not others?
Numb3rs (2005)
Why did David's character have to become weaker
Overall, I always enjoyed Numb3rs. However, I noticed after season 1 they significantly changed David Sinclair's character. He became weaker, nonrational, not as versatile, not as vital, and overall became "smaller" for Colby and other nonblack characters to appear stronger, more intelligent, and more capable.
A few examples include in season 1 The Uncertainty Principle episode, David was able to spot and shoot hidden bank robber in the midst of a chaotic situation. However, in season 2 the Backscatter episode, the criminals shoot David in the shoulder. Yet the white LAPD Detective Gary stands directly up and doesn't get shot, giving the image of a bad a$$
In Season 1 the Sabotage episode, David is able to disarm a bomb because he states he was posted in Tel Aviv. Yet after Colby arrives, David's character was rewritten to appear as if he had nothing to contribute in comparison to Colby.
Unfortunately in real life, there are times when some that want black people to "shrink" themselves or not display their intelligence so that other races can appear more intelligent.
