Default Aunt Sophia was the "WORST"

She just appeared in mid-season 3 and I forgot how annoying she was every time she was on the show. I guess the lady who played Adelaide was sick or something and they were using this woman as a replacement.

She maybe the only LOWLIGHT of season 3

She was Phillip's sister right? She was only there for 1 season?

I remember her and I recall she really wasn't that bad.

Yeah she was Phillip's sister and appeared because for some reason the housekeeper Adelaide was no longer on the show.

Sophia was on the show from the middle of season 3 to the middle of season 4

The worst thing about this show was Gary's tragic death.

I still can't believe he's gone!

Well he didn't die why the show was on the air. Honestly I never even thought about it when watching the DVD because I was too busy laughing.

I agree. She wasn't bad at all. Dody Goodman was all right.
I also liked it when she voiced over Ms. Miller on Alivin and the Chipmunks.

She was there to replace someone who was a lot funnier which is why she seemed so DULL.

I didn't have an issue with Aunt Sophia. She was good.

I'm kind of partial to Mrs. Garrett. I'd have to go back and watch again and compare the two.

As much as I liked Adelaide it seemed strange not seeing her as a regular in every episode. I guess Mr. D was very generous with the vacation time he gave her.

I can't remember what episode but during season 3 Adelaide is seen leaving to visit her sister in philadelphia and it's explained she is going to be gone for 3 weeks. that's when sophia shows up to replace her

I remember Dody Goodman was in several episodes as Phillip's sister Sophia. After the fourth season, she was gone and only made one other appearance, in the wedding episode.
