Again, I mean no disrespect and I really don't remember her on Phyllis, but on TMTMS, her whiny voice was really irritating. Anybody else agree? Disagree?

I LOVED her character! I thought she was hilarious. Very memorable.

Didn't care for the character much myself, but as you said, no disrespect to Ms. Colby.

Sure she was very memorable, I mean who could forget that green dress she made for Mary...

As for the likability of the character, I guess Retro and I are in the minority because she guested on MTM a couple of times and then starred on Phyllis.

I saw the episode with her last week when Mary was trying to get her a job but the character was like who is going to hire her and she only has a background of doing hooker work?

Then when Ted's girl was going to get her a job at some place and asked her this question I was LOL

"Are you good in dealing with the public?

I really like Barbara Colby but everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Barbara had a great gift for comedy and always had a twinkle in her eye,so
tragic,she was killed in a motiveless shooting,she and Cloris Leachman had a great rapport on "Phyllis",when Liz Torres took over the role,it just wasn't the same and indeed the Julie character was dropped after season1.

From the name Liz Torres, I think this is the woman who also played the housekeeper on All in the Family
