Which wife you like with Ted Knight?

If you watch both actresses who played his TV wife their character traits were similar. Both were voice of reason, understanding and supportive. Both women can sing. The episode on MTM when Georgette got to sing twice. On TCFC Muriel got to sing several times. The character of Muriel was a band singer before she got married.

The one difference I saw was Muriel was far more intelligent than Georgette and can stand her ground when called to .

Not very familiar with TMTMS, I remember it vaguely...it was really more my parents' show lol. I looked up Georgette, I don't know what her character (or singing voice) is like. Judging by looks alone Muriel wins by a mile. She was also a very under-utilized talent on TCFC, imo.
