Who do you think was the best Maggie? i think dixie but they were both good but dixie.

Dixie Carter is 100 times better then Mary Ann Mobly....Mary Ann had no experience being on DS, and Dixie just seemed to slide in, and be a really good actress.

Lumpy: Did you go out for anything, Dud?

Dudley: Well, I went out for football, but I got my finger stepped on, so my mother made me quit.

Eddie: Well listen-- I went out for basketball and I got my hair pulled, and my mother made ME quit.

Dudley: It's not that I was afraid of getting hurt or anything; it's just that-- well, it's kind o' hard to play the flute with a busted finger.

Mary Ann Mobley is the best Maggie.

Although I didn't particularly care for the character of "Maggie"- Dixie Carter portrayed her pretty darn good.

I think they were both good a "Maggie" but Dixie Carter was better.

Sean Snow · 10-30-2001, 09:05 PM

I like them both!

1)Dixie Carter- She portrayed Maggie as a tough Southern woman.

2)Mary Ann Mobely- She portrayed a nicer mom

Definitley Dixie Carter.
Mary Ann Mobley was so dull.

Well at first, I did not like Dixie Carter. After watching the marathon, i changed my mind. I prefer her to Mary Ann Mobley.

I think that since Dixie Carter was the 1st, we think of her only as the trademark Maggie. Someone said earlier that Mary Ann Mobley didn't have any experience on this show, but they were wrong. Earlier in the series, Mary Ann Mobley played Arnold's teacher. The one Mr. Drummond was dating. The title of the episode was "Teacher's Pet."

even though i never really cared for the character of maggie, i think mary ann mobley played her better than dixie carter. mary ann seemed like a sweeter mom to sam.

I especially thought Mary Ann did a great job in Sam's Missing. Her performance was excellent.
