Bernadette Withers is a Linda Blair lookalike! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Does anyone agree that Kelly's cutiepie friend, Ginger actress Bernadette Withers), looked a lot another more famous cutie name Linda Blair (of the Exorcist)? I think Bernadette and Linda are stamps for each other.

I don't agree. Linda was prettier. Except when she was in a freakout mood!!!

I just started watching this show. I was born the year it premiered. Any way I was wondering is Bernadette Withers related to Jane Withers of the Comet cleaning commercials.

Is there a TV station anywhere that is showing this show??

Its been so many years since I have seen it.

According to Internet Movie Database, Bernadette is the niece of Jane Withers [Josephine, the plumber].

RTN is currently airing Bachelor Father in several cities across the country. They have shown all but 4 episodes from the first 4 seasons but have only shown 5 episodes from the 5th and final season. They are now hit-skipping around with episodes from the 3rd season.

I forgot they recently changed it to RTV. It is a station offering older shows in some cities across the US.

I guess it stands for Retro Television Network. In the Boston, Mass area it broadcasts from Lawrence, Ma. There are a few good shows I see. Bachelor Father a little corny but cute. I love houseboy Peter. He is very witty. On Sundays I see Alfred Hitchcock. Also for teen lovers you can see Shaun Cassidy in the Hardy Boys mysteries. Another I see is Incredible Hulk with Bill Bixby. THe network is good alternative to Tv Land. Sundays the old Jack Benny program is on too.

Slight resemblance but Linda is much prettier and body-wise there's no comparison. Linda was stacked from the time she was a teenager.

I think Bernadette had great comedic timing. She was hysterical as Ginger.
She should have been a bigger star. Agree?
She first appeared on Bachelor Father in episode 2, "Bentley Vs. The Girl Scouts",but not as Ginger.
In that episode, her character is referred to as "Scout Grabowski".
So essentially she was playing a different character in that episode.
But I guess they liked her enough to bring her back just 3 episodes later as Ginger. "Ginger" first appeared in episode 5 "Bentley and The Aunts".
