I personally thought she was annoying. Was not a huge fan of Teresa.

I agree. I think Teresa was just a sign of the writers running out of ideas for stories. Meathead and Gloria had moved out and Teresa was supposed to become a source of irritation for Archie, but she simply wasn't funny. I don't even think she had one line during "The Draft Dodger" episode. She just sat there with her back to the camera lol.

I love the ep in which she gets "caught" with her boyfriend in the BONKERS household....as they return unexpectedly!

How many episodes were Teresa in? I really only remember seeing her in 3 & one of them was the episode where the Bunkers come home & catch her with her boyfriend.

She was in a total of five episodes. I thought she appeared more than five times.

Guys,

I agree about Teresa. But as I recall, the Stivic's didn't move away until early in 1978, Teresa moved in on AITF around October of 1976.

Teresa moved in with the Bunkers midway through the 1976/77 season.She left without a trace when the show was still in the middle of that season.I believe she had appeared in exactly six episodes.The last episode she appeared in was"Fire"where Edith had discovered a fire in the bathroom in the middle of the night.

Media Lover · 09-28-2004, 01:24 PM

I rather liked Teresa.She seemed to get along remarkabley well with Edith,Mike and Gloria.Kind of like a temporary addition to the family.I think my favourite Teresa episode was"The Boarder Patrol"the episode that was mentioned earlier in this thread,where she has her boyfriend over when the Bunkers unexpectedly return home after having missed their bus out of town.That was one of their funniest episodes.

Another favourite and funny scene with Teresa,was during the episode"Mike Goes Skiing",when Teresa is asleep on the Stivics'livingroom sofa,while babysitting Joey.Gloria had gone out to a party.Mike returns home early from his skiing trip.Thinking Gloria is under the blanket on the couch,he romantically tries to surprise her,but ends up freaking out Teresa."WHAT ARE DOING"she yells hitting him with her pillow"YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE SLIDING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN".

I never cared for Theresa. She wasn't funny. I'm glad she wasn't around for too long.

A failed attempt by the writers to create a rift between Archie and a hispanic woman. Teresa stunk!
