Lowell vs. Antonio - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I love both characters, but if I had to choose, I'd go with Antonio. Lowell was just too dense and one-dimensional for me most of the time. I think Antonio has more depth and I find him a bit funnier. Plus, he has this sweet innocense or something about him that makes him seem more appealing and lovable than Lowell does.

Lowell. I always knew I would laugh, when I saw him coming to do a bit. Antonio was great too, and once Lowell left Nantucket, Antonio became my favorite. I noticed a big change in Lowell, when he first started, his lines were very stiff. But by the end of his run on the show, he had completely changed, and was sarcastic at times. The episode where Lowell moves in with Joe and Brian, is one of my favorites, just seeing Lowell with the spoon and hitting Joe for drinking out of the milk carton, gets me every time.

Lowell: And don't sit up front. The Clowns will mess with you mind.

One of my favorite scenes with Lowell and Antonio was during the episode when the air-traffic controller guy was holding Antonio hostage in the tower and Lowell was climbing up to the tower to rescue him and Antonio sees him and screams and Lowell falls off.

Then there was the Polar Bear contest and the time Lowell hurt both his hands fixing Antonio's cab and Antonio was taking care of him. As Bill McNeal would say, "Good times, good times."

Those scenes were funny.
------------
Lowell: Pea.

Antonio: There are no more peas.

Lowell: That's not what I meant. Pee.

________

Lowell: Turn. (Antonio turns the page) Turn. (Antonio turns the page). (Then Antonio gets mad and tells Lowell that he's leaving. Guilty, Antonio comes back. Lowell in a compassionate tone of voice,) Turn.

Antonio: "I'm sorry, Lowell Jr., but that's enough singing for now."
Lowell: "That was actually my Uncle Wally."

Lowell: "We know! You'll shoot him! We are not idiots!!"
Antonio: "Lowell, why don't you just the gun and shoot me yourself?"

Hahaha, all those memories with Lowell.

As much as I love Antonio, I have to say that Lowell is my favorite. He always made me laugh, and I dont' think there was a Wings moment when I cried harder than the episode where he left.

Chocoholic · 05-09-2003, 06:36 PM

Lowell's last episode always makes me cry too

spunkygirl · 05-11-2003, 01:19 AM

Lowell, I like both, but definitely Lowell! There was a major gap when Lowell left the show, and you could definitely feel it, and even Antonio couldn't make up for it.

Lowell is one of the ones who always had me rolling, he's just so darn funny!

Nobody nose · 09-30-2003, 11:54 AM

no contest
as much as I adore Lowell, Antonio is my fav character(alongside Brian)
Shalhoub is also better as an actor
and that's a FACT
deal with it and dig it

AngeFaitore · 09-30-2003, 04:15 PM

Second bananas no more!

Sometimes I got frustrated with Antonio's woman problems... if only he would
have stopped acting so needy, maybe he would have acutally gotten someone.
He's an Italian and those men seem to have this odd magnetic force with women.
Obviously, it skips a generation in his family.

Lowell, well, EVERYBODY knows what I think of him.
If I lived on the island, he'd get laid more than Brian or Joe!

Okay, maybe that was a BIT crude.

As far as Antonio's concerned well, if he acted differently and was a successful lover full of charm...fupp me it wouldn't be the least bit funny, would it?

Actually, yes, if it were Lowell, I'd love to do him

I think he's sweet.
Why do I freak you out? I'm not trying to stalk THC, send threatning letters or ruin his life. I just idolize and admire him from afar.
Thomas Haden Church fans are VERY passionate.
If I DID write him, it would just be for a photo, nothing else.

I have too many morals and ethics. I'd feel horrible if ANYBODY tried to bother him.
Plus, one day I know I'll get a boyfriend and probibly forget about him!

In the beginning I liked his innocence and then as the series went on, he grew up somewhat. One scene that I do like is in the episode Here It Is: The Big Wedding. The scene that I like is when Lowell is in the bathroom with Joe and he over the big wrench and he makes the comment that he needs to get the bid wrench.
