VeraMania is Runnin' Wild! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

It's gonna be kinda tough to write this, but I might as well get it over with.....

I was attracted to Vera!

Now, I know I'm dodging a lot of tomatoes over that one, but it is true.
From the time puberty hit me, I had a suspicion that underneath the dumb act, she was probably a real fox. Then came the episode about the DJ with the sexy voice. When the shot of Vera at the radio station appeared, revealing her to be the DJ, it confirmed (welllll ..... at least to me, anyway) that my guess was right. I have had a thing for Vera ever since.
Anyway, I did an online search for "Beth Howland", and found out some interesting things. One of which is that nowadays she works as a voiceover for radio commercials. I found a website called Commercial Women, run by a talent agency called Access Talent. You can click the name Beth Howland and hear an audio sample with clips from a few radio commercials she's done recently. In the last commercial, she seems to be "hulking" into her Vera persona just before getting rudely cut off in the sound file (Dang, I wish I could've heard the rest of that commercial). Another name of note on that site is Diana Scarwid, the older Christina from "Mommie Dearest". You can hear commercials she's done lately as well.

I guess that's all right now, but before I close, I'd like to mention this phrase that came to my mind after I thought up the name for this post:

Whatcha gonna do, when VeraMania, spills her box of straws all over you!

Now I'll use this thread to discuss moments where VeraMania is allowed to shine through.
In the episode "That Old Black Magic", she's whoopin' some behind in poker, and in coin-flipping!
"...a J and four 1's". Right on!

"A Semi-Merry Christmas":
Vera lays down in the back seat.
I don't think I'm gonna be able to sleep tonight.

"Vera's Popcorn Romance"
Now, I remember her having a boyfriend, but I didn't remember the part about ... living together?!?

Anyway, she can teach me "where the noses go" anytime!
