I never liked Adelaide. Mrs. Garrett is my favorite.

I thought Pearl was kind of dorky, but they were all pretty good.

This is random, but the poll made me think of this. Have you seen the episode where Arnold is trying to cover for Willis being gone and records him saying "Good night Dad, Adelaide, Kimberly, etc..." When Mr. D comes in to say goodnight, Arnold accidentally pushes the wrong button and out comes "Good night Adelaide." Then Mr. D laughs and goes over to him and says "Good night Kimberly." Of course, the cover is then blown. I laughed so hard. That has to be one of the funniest episodes!

I liked Ms. Garrett the best cuz she was the first housekeeper i knew on the show, when you switch a unit that your use to seeing perform together, you have to adjust to a new unit, so when Ms. Garrett left, things got a little diff'rent than they were before

Okay... i personally didnt' liek all 3....

Mrs. Garrett was a GOOD housemother/dietician and a GOOD friend to the girls on Facts of Life... but i didn't like her on DS as much... She had the corniest jokes (although DS is somehwat based on corny jokes) and she wasn't the Mrs. Garrett I know from FOL... She was (sorry liz) somewhat annoying on DS (sorry Charlotte!)

Adalaide (don't know if i spelled it right) ARGH!!! don't get me started!!! She was just sooo.. SHORT and... old... and ANNOYING! she seemed to be there for decoration! Never had anything good to say.. and wasn't good enough to stay!

Pearl, I like her to a point... some of her cracks were actually funny.. but most of the time it seemed like she wasn't funny at all! Also, i always thought that arnold didn't liek Pearl, and the only thought that comes to my mind in disliking her is, she always tried to put in her two sense when it wasn't wanted. IE "I dated a sailor like that once" (maggie and mr. d look at pearl) "Right!" (leaves) she always seems to say stuff when you least want her to say things and she seems to be there when you least want her there! But she was there for the longest and she did somehwat grow on me after a while...


Toodles!
