One thing that I've noticed about these 4-lady shows (FOL, Designing Women and Golden Girls) is that there are four distinct personalities.

The brain -- Natalie, Julia and Dorothy

The sexpot -- Blair, Suzanne and Blanche

The naive one -- Tootie, Charlene and Rose

The experienced one -- Jo, Mary Jo (heh) and Sophia

Actually I started a thread like this in Chit Chat (which then got moved to "General Sitcom Questions and Discussion), but I had a difference.

I put Jo with Julia and Dorothy, and Natalie with Mary Jo and Sophia.

Cause to me, Jo/Julia/Dorothy are the "straight men", kinda the boss, and the ones who don't take any nonsense.

And I have Natalie with Mary Jo and Sophia cause they're the "funny" ones---the sarcastic ones who get lots of one-liners and such, and who the general public considers to be "the funny one".

I can see your point there too. There can be lots of different classifications for the characters. Mine are just four generalizations, but you can do different things as well...

Good Call!!!

I just seen that episode, and Jo almost KILLED Tootie!

Plus we can't forget that scene in Teacher's Pet where Tootie confronts Jo on coming home late (again) and when Tootie was being too persistent Jo gets kinda angry at her back.

In "What Price Glory" where Tootie became preoccupied with Jeff and started to slack on her work duties, there was a lil back and forth between Jo and Tootie when Jo said that Tootie better have that inventory in when she gets back from her trip.......If Natalie and Mrs. G didn't intervene......
