Default Which do you prefer?

Okay, I hope this starts some kind of conversation...
As some of you know the show wasn't that consistant. For instance Jo's real name was said to be Joanne and then it was later Joanna Marie. With Natalie's Middle name on the show it was Latisha, but then in the reunion it was Sage. Which do you like better? Here are a few others... do you like Tootie or Dorothy better as Tootie's name? Which guy was better for Jo in your opinion? Eddie or Rick?
As for me, I like Joanne better, I like Sage better, Tootie forever! And umm Rick because he didn't cheat on Jo and besides they're married now! How about you guys and gals? Post your opinions.

As far as Jo's name, I loved the name Joanna Marie.
I liked Natalie's original middle name, Latisha.
Tootie all the way!
I think Jo should have been with Eddie. IMO, Rick was a bit childish.

Eddie was a moron!! He did all that sneaky crap behind everybody's back and ended up marrying a girl from Italy who he had "problems" with, he said--and just used Jo to deal with them.
Remember that episode?

I LOVE THAT EPISODE!!! lol...I love Mrs. G in that episode.....she's so............" Mrs. Garrett-ish!" that's the only way to describe it sorry!



I like Tootie, but I think Dorothy fits her also, soooooooo,....I guess i just don't care.I mean, I think she shoulda stuck with one or the other, but I don't really care which one, she'd still be the same character!
Natalie Latisha....that sounds better!
I think Rick was better for Joanna Marie!(that answers two questions!)

Default re: Eddie's married episode

I love that episode, too!! I think I was confused when I first saw it years ago, but now I understand it. I'm not saying that's a bad episode, just that Eddy was definitely NOT the best choice for Jo.
He WAS a moron!! Jo said he was using her for him to fall back on because he couldn't deal with the problems in his marriage (hence the wining and dining, showering of gifts like the socket wrench, etc.).

I agree, although I don't think she should have married Eddie. But I definitely liked Eddie better than Rick. Eddie may not have been perfect but he was ten times better than Rick.

Sage
Tootie
Joanna Marie

And Eddie did not cheat on Jo. Let's get this straight.
They broke up. (Season Three, "Sweet Sorrow".)
They really dug each other. Obviously, they almost got married. (Yeah, Rick and Jo got married, but that was a FLUKE).
I stand by anything 8th season and on is meaningless. (Pippa, Beverly Ann, the pastel wallpaper, etc).

Okay, maybe I'm biased ( Vice President of The All Time Rick Haters Club. You can search the back pages for the original post), but Eddie and Jo were great together. Not Rick. I hate Rick.
Rick=poo.

(Please don't take the last few statements too seriously...)
