Characters who could get away with things based on looks - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Big C · 03-20-2008, 07:20 PM

In a thread on "The Wonder Years," littlebelle said "when you're super cute you can get away with it."

I was wondering about some TV characters who could get away with things based on looks alone.

I'd like to say Tiffany from Unhappily Ever After- she seemed to create problems, but could wiggle her way out of any situation because of her great looks. (Nikki did a fine job portraying that character)

P.S. I changed my avatar.

If littlebelle sees this, don't cry or get angry. It's just that I am not an Atheist. I loved Angie, but she was not the only TV hottie for me.

On One Day at a Time, when Schneider accidentally broke Barbara's
nose, she worried that her looks were gone. Her mother tried to console
her that she had a lot more going for her than just her looks. But Barb made
the observation that she had "never gotten a speeding ticket" and then
added: "Let's face it, Mom .. I get away with murder and I like it."

Kelly Bundy for sure.

Jeannie from "I Dream of Jeannie" because she was just so darn cute! Tony got angry with her but in the end he pretty much let her get away with anything. After all she was only trying to make her master happy, even if it did get him into trouble. LOL.

Blanche and Sophia on "The Golden Girls". Blanche because she could use her looks and body to get away with whatever she wanted, and Sophia because she was old and cute. How do you think Dorothy allowed Sophia to do half the things she did? LOL.

Gina from JOEY ... she was always talking about getting free things by using her looks...her breasts mostly

Marcia Brady
Joanie from Happy Days
Danny Bonaduce from the Partridge Family
Arnold from Different Strokes
The Flying Nun
Chrissy from Three's Company
Theodore Cleaver from Leave it to Beaver
Robert Hogan from Hogan's Heroes

catlover79 · 06-14-2010, 12:22 AM

How could I have forgotten Marcia? I think you could also add adorable little Cindy and Bobby to the list, as well as the way groovy Greg.

First one I thought of was Jennifer Marlowe from WKRP.

There's also Angie from Vega$, and "Stacks" from BJ and the Bear (both played by Judy Landers).

Lucy Ewing from Dallas.

Sunny from Bosom Buddies.

catlover79 · 06-14-2010, 01:11 AM

Oh gosh, Jennifer's the perfect example. How about Corinne Tate (Soap), Fallon Carrington (Dynasty), and Abby Fairgate (Knots Landing)?

Lisa Douglas from Green Acres -- like when she easily coerces Sam Drucker into turning over his entire General Store to her cosmetics sales business

Elly May Clampett from The Beverly Hillbillies -- for example, male police forget why they came when they see her, so her "critters" are not reigned in
