Default Unpopular

Given the type of reception that my posts on this topic tend to be, my guess would be that Hazel Shermet is a rather unpopular actress. My last post in regards to her on this page is called "Minisode". At this stage in the game, it has fifty veiws and zero responses. I have also posted messages about her on a lot of other pages on this site as well as some others. I have a lot of admiration for her and I would love to stimulate some conversation! In my opinion, the parts that she tends to play are very hotsy totsy!

Thanks for the info, Zoneboy. I wasn't sure who she was either until you said that. And Smartboy, don't feel too badly. I think I'm about as unpopular as you right now. I've been alone and lonely and all throughout today and hanging out at SO replying to threads and trying to start conversation on other boards too and nobody's really responding to me either. I've been told in the past that I bring a lot of "energy" to the SO boards but I don't know that my presence really means that much here anymore. I was gone for a few weeks and nobody seemed to even notice, so trust me, you're not the only one. Feel free to PM me anytime you want.

Maybe she's not worth discussing. There is only so much one could say about a forgettable extra.

When I see the episode known as the "Green Eyed Monster" I get a double delight! In addition to the lovely little Hazel Shermet, there is also the site of Blair in a lovely pair of black dress boots which is pretty good eye candy. Ever since my early teens I have had a weekness for a female in boots. The girl who made me salavate the most while wearing boots was Julie from "Gimme a Break!" Wow! I was thirteen years old at the time and the episode that it took place in was "Katie Steals Julie's Jock." Although no one has surpassed or even equiled Julie in that episode, I would have to say that Blair comes pretty damm close!

Yes, you are absolutely right! That is exactly the lady that I am writing about! I think that it is interesting that her hair is what you remember. I happen to like the way that her hair looks in both episodes of "Facts of Life". However, the time that I thought that she did her best work was on the "Gimme a Break!" episode known as the "Emergency"! This was her second of three episodes on that series. In each episode she played a different one-time character. I would be very interested in reading the point of views of people who remember either episode of "Facts of Life" or any of the three "Gimme a Break!" Until next time folks.

I am bringing this thread to the top for a variety of reasons. Like usual, I am very interested in starting conversations about these fine shows! On top of this, I would like to clear up an issue that I raised in my post called "Big Hair". I mentioned having heard from a poster on this site that actress Hazel Shermet had recented died. I had not heard this and so I posted "Big Hair" to get whatever information anyone else had. I posted similar messages on the pages of "The Brady Bunch" and "Gimme a Break!". I got no responses anywhere as you can see! I have since learned that the whole thing was a misunderstanding. After sending a personal message to the poster who emailed me, she wrote back saying that she thought that she read that on one of my posts and that she must have made a mistake. As far as I know, our friend Hazel is still alive! Last but not least, anyone who likes the way that I write and has an appreciation for older women, might want to go to the "Brady Bunch" page. I have recently posted a message there called "Sexy in Boots". The babe who this post is mainly about is Christine Baranski. The thing about her that is germain there is that she made one guest appearance on that sereis when she was a teenager. However, I would say that there are two things about her that are germain here. To start with, she is now in her mid-fifties. In my opinion, just like good old Hazel, she looks hot as an older babe! On top of this, ever since I was thirteen years old, I have had a weekness for a female in dress boots. Blair from this show is one of the girls who started me on this kick. Well, anyone who has seen the "Mamma Mia!" movie knows that Christine is one lady who can really wear boots! Oh baby!

Those of you who enjoyed my innitial post on this thread might want to go to the "Frasier" and the "Gimme a Break!" pages of this site. On those pageed, I have started threads titled "Unpopular Part 2" and "Unpopular Part 3" respectively. On these posts I elaborated a little bit more on what I introduced on this thread. One thing that I have written a little bit about on this page is how sexy Lisa Whelchel looks in dress boots! Wow! Well two other babes who I think look like dynomite in boots are Lauri Hendler who played Julie from "Gimme a Break!" and Felecity Hoffman who appeared on "Frasier" a couple of times. The last time I checked, the one on "Gimme a Break!" had two views and zero responses. I will be going to the "Frasier" site next to see how many views that one has. Take care!

One thing that seems to be quite ironic is that whenever I post a message about a given topic being unpopular, that is the post that gets the responses! This very thread is a good case and point. Well, over on the "Brady Bunch" page, I recently posted a message titled "A Dead Horse". This is in reference to the dead horse that a lot of people would accuse me of beating by writing about the same topics over and over again! You see, in addition to me being interested in Hazel Shermet in her own right, there is also the fact that her late husband was very involved in writing and producing for a lot of the shows that I grew up with. The "Brady Bunch" is one of them. I had already posted two threads on that page about the topic. These threads are called "Credit for Larry" and "More about Larry". As of now, both of them have zero responses! There are some shows (like "Gimme a Break") in which Larry was involved in creating and his wife made guest appearances. In any event, making my post called "A Dead Horse" was one more stab at stimulating some conversation. Sure enough, there was a response in less than an day! Those of you who like shows that came around at about the same time as "Facts of Life" might be interested in what other work he did. You might be surprised! The lead on how to look up his name is right with the response. Less than an hour ago, I responded to the response. Also, if there are any other "Brady Bunch" fans reading this, they might want to head over to the "Caroline in the City" page. In between my post on the "Brady Bunch" page and the present, I posted another message about a time that Florence Henderson made an appearance on that show!

I am bringing this thread to the top of the page in celebration of the fact that we are only a week away from the day that the "Mamma Mia!" movie gets released on a two-disc DVD set! I am so excited! Is anyone reading this post a fan of ABBA? I think that they are supperb! I would say that this reality pertains to "Facts of Life" for three essential reasons. In the first place, "Dancing Queen" was played on the radio in the episode known as "Crusin". That was one of my favorite episodes of all times! Second, in my humble opinion, Christine Baranski is very similar to Hazel Shermet in terms of looking hot as an older babe! And last but not least, I would consider Christine very similar to Lisa Whelchel (Blair Warner) in terms of looking very sexy in designer dress boots! Wow!
