Female Egotistical Characters - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Have there ever been any shows that have had women characters that have been depicted as egotistical and/or self-centered?

sunshinefizzy · 04-20-2007, 02:53 PM

I can think of a few:

Blair Warner from Facts of Life
Whatever Jami Gertz's character's name is from Square Pegs
Marcia Brady from Brady Bunch

I haven't seen this show in a long time but wasn't Laurie Partridge on the Partridge family a little self-centered as well???

Sue Ann Nivens and Phyllis Lindstrom - Mary Tyler Moore Show

Nellie Oleson - Little House on the Prairie

Harriet Oleson - Little House on the Prairie

Cassie Lynn - Family Matters

Vanessa Russell - Hanging with Mr. Cooper

Thalia Menninger - Many Loves of Dobie Gillis

Lisa Turtle - Saved by the Bell

Of course, Blair Warner takes the cake!!

The Square Pegs character played by Jami Gertz was Muffy Peterson.

I would have to say about the 2 biggest egotistical femal characters are Roseanne, and Murphy Brown.

Suzanne Sugarbaker (Designing Women) could be pretty egotistical.

Besides the great ones already mentioned, how 'bout:

Blanche Devereaux-Golden Girls
Karen Walker-Will & Grace
Ginger Grant-Gilligan's Island
Hilary Banks-Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

Oh, and I forgot. I think Lucy Ricardo probably qualifies, even though I hate to admit it!

I think Lucy Ricardo was more delusional than egotistical, but I digress.
