Hmmm...choosing a favourite character is like trying to pick a favourite child or parent, it's near to impossible (for me anyway).

Rhoda for sure (there is something about her friendship with Mary that's always struck me, like the friend every girl wishes she had), Phyllis, Lou, and of course Mary. I love them all too!!!

The great thing about this show (like all good ensemble shows) is that every character/actor was terrific. They complemented each other so well and were so distinctive from one another. So when I make my list--it doesn't mean that I think Murray is better than Ted or visa/versa it simply means that I identify with a certain character on a personal level more. So here goes:

1. Rhoda--she is the type of person I really enjoy hanging out with. Funny without being mean, great personality, wholesome yet worldly, doesn't take herself too seriously and can deflate blowhards--and truth be told, I always (even when she was heavier) found her more attractive than (sorry to say) Mary.

2. Murray--The kind of supportive friend that I would enjoy working with. Able to get the job done--but still able to keep things on an enjoyable plane in the work place--also great at one-liners.

3. Mary--she is my big sister. Someone I know I can always turn to and get good advice. She is always achieveing and always popular but you don't begrudge her for it becuz she is so nice. She is not stuck up like some other "cheerleader" types--who date the captain of the football team--but is friendly and outgoing to everyone.

4. Lou Grant--he is my dad--gruff and loud, but a pussycat inside.
He makes you feel secure.

5. Bess--the girl I would have wanted to date in High School!! but her mother...hmm.

Mine are Mary and Rhoda because I can relate to them as a single girl. My best guy friend's fave is Lou, with Ted a distant second.

Mary and Rhoda and Phyllis loved the interaction between them, really liked Lou too,Ted was annoying at the start,hilarious particularly from season 4 onwards,Sue-Ann for all her catiness,one of the lonliest of the group,good ole Murray and "spacecadet" Georgette.
