Cloris Leachman - Do YOU think she did a good job? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Czas na Zywiec · 03-23-2002, 12:16 AM

As we all know, no one can replace Charlotte Rae as Mrs. G, but do you think Beverly Ann did a good job? Not as a replacement, but as an older role model on the show? When I watched FOL, I only saw her in one episoe, the one where Natalie gets a job at that Taco place, I don't really recall the name of it right now. Well, I didn't see FOL since November of 2000! Already more than a year! We moved from Chicago to a little town in CO, and just my luck that this town in CO does not pick up Nick! I was sooo mad because I thought I would never see FOL again, and I didn't know that it went off the air until I started visiting these boards regularly last November when the Reunion Movie came out. I feel so sad that not just me, but no one can see FOL if they don't have tapes, like me. So, I just wanted to get your honest opinions about her. Also, did they close down Over Our Heads in the 9th season, or am I just imagining things?

Thanks!

I'm not sure if Bev Ann was the best role model for the girls, lol. She can be flawed and silly sometimes...

I like Bev Ann OKAY she's not great definitally not a Ms.G but in a weird way I would rather have someone who was almost nothing like Ms.G than someone who tries to take her place and act just like her(does that make sence)but I do live Cloris especially on MTM.

I think Cloris(sp?) is a good actress.I totally get what you mean about Bev Ann not being anything like Mrs. G! That's what I think also. It's better to have someone nothing like Mrs. G, than to have someone acting like Mrs. G.

Yea, no one wants someone to copy your exact moves and say your exact quotes if you're ever gone, huh?

I think she did a good job in the episodes I saw her in, although she just couldn't do better than charlotte Rae.

I pretty much agree with y'all. Good, but not great.
