With a Doubt, Vera is the WEIRDEST TV CHARACTER in TV Sitcom History - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Yes, she was more strange than Chrissy Snow, Gloria Bunker/stivic, Mork, Urkel, Screech, Waldo from family matters, and probably many more. I hate this character so much and the things that come out her mouth were just borderline or actually certified retardation.

Like this statement-"wouldn't be nice to have a birthday every month?

And then the episode when she wanted to keep a baby and didn't even know who the baby belong to

the episode when she is depressed because she is still working at mel's diner and stated she wanted to be REMEMBERED by something more important than a waitress so she decides to break a Tap dance record.

This woman was extrmely LOONEY and it's a good thing MEL and ALICE are strong enough characters to overshadow her WACKINESS

Agreed. Not only that, but she was "scary" weird.

I'll take a Chrissy Snow type of weird anyday. Uh huh.

Oh, I dunno. When I think of "weird," the first characters that come to mind
are Larry and his brother Daryl and his other brother Daryl on Newhart.

I dunno about you, but I think it'd be neat to get birthday presents every month

Yeah but that's something a CHILD would say and Vera was almost 40-lol

GARFIELDKOOL · 01-24-2008, 08:02 PM

Vera was weird, but Chrissy was staright up stupid. As starnge as Vera was, she had more sense that Chrissy. Edith Bunker was smarter than them all, though.

*Anyone* who sees "Oh God" and then comes away thinking that George Burns is God Himself because she saw the movie where he plays God, so ergo he must be God, is LOONY!!!

catlover79 · 01-24-2008, 08:46 PM

Yes, she was one loopy lady.

Same here. Vera was very naive and she had the mind of a very young girl. She also had the mind of a child as you recall the whole Santa Claus episode. I guess she was "special" but in a way that harmed no one.

catlover79 · 01-25-2008, 12:10 AM

Mel didn't call her a dingy chick for nothing!!

bingbangbaby · 01-25-2008, 12:35 AM

She's not my favorite character either but she had a good heart and she was harmless. I think it was because there were so many things going on with her that made her seem weird...she was child-like, naive, sometimes senseless, gullible, flighty, sometimes stupid, and she had some sort of nervous thing going on...I do think she has to be the most nervous character in tv history.

catlover79 · 01-25-2008, 12:36 AM

^ How many straws do you think she spilled over the years??

bingbangbaby · 01-25-2008, 12:38 AM

That is a funny clip though

catlover79 · 01-25-2008, 12:42 AM

^ It is.
