Angry Allison Sugarbaker?

What does everyone have against her? I mean, she is just a girl that wants to be excepted, even though she trys to hard. She has a soft side, and she has her side! She really isn't all bad and annoying. She can help people out. I think when she finally got sick of Julia and Mary Jo picking on her, she went crazy and became what she is known as, but don't judge her to quickly. She isn't as annoying as she seems. Take "I Enjoy Being A Girl." She got along with those girls because they liked her, for her. Even if she's had bad luck with guys and can't even get along with her own cousin doesn't mean she's bad. I don't get along with my cousin, I don't get too many guys, and I still get along with people, but it's because THEY want to get along, not because I do. If Julia and Mary Jo (and Carlene) would put forth more effort, you would have a great cast! Comments?

JULIA: Please, if you really want to feel like crying try being one of those women who hold down a job, raise a family on the side, watch their legal rights erode year after year, and are still being told that women's liberation went to far. That ought to make you feel like crying. Hhhoooo!

Julia and Carlene are talking about a poll on the Flinstones sexuality that was in the newspaper...
ALLISON: I can't believe you two are talking about cartoon character's sexuality. They're two dementinal.
CARLENE: Well gee, Allison. So are you.

I agree, what does everyone have against her. I loved her to. She and BJ were my favorites. I love the show when they were on, I wish Lifetime would show those episodes more. You go designinggurl!

BJ is who the women were doing a decorating job for, and she got them drunk, so Julia was kinda gambling with her and lost Sugarbaker's. After that, BJ decided to give it back, but Julia invited her to be a partner since Allison had pulled hr money out of the buisness.

I did like BJ a little. I didn't really have anything against her, I just liked Delta and Jean better as actresses.

Default character was not developed

I have nothing against Allison Sugarbaker just that the character was not developed properly. Allison Sugarbaker was made very unlikable. I mean she appeared stuck up and cold without any feelings. It appeared that she had a one dimensional personality.

Alison was such a big snob who lied about people she knew trying to make herself look like something that she wasn't and I think that If I was Juila I would have fired her

I don't really have anything against her, it's just that Allison was sorta an unlikeable character. She had issues and she made everyone else mad and that's why she just wasn't one of my favorites.
