Talking FOL: "The Real World" (sitcom's version!)

Hi, out there, it's me, Mary, one of the "junior" senior members. I just came up with a great idea. If you could pick 10 sitcom characters to live together for a couple months, as in "The Real World", who would you pick?
Here's my first list:
1. Jo Polinichzek (The Facts Of Life)
2. Carol Weston (Empty Nest)
3. Charles (Charles In Charge)
4. Mike Stivic (All In The Family)
5. Fonzie (Happy Days)
6. Jesse Katsopolis (Full House)
7. Joanie Cunningham (Happy Days)
8. Denise Huxtable (The Cosby Show)
9. Jack Tripper (Three's Company)
10. Darlene Conner (Roseanne)
This, BTW, took a lot of thinking. If they don't sound like the perfect mix, by all means,just make a batch up!

Good idea, Devastation! And it would be good to see Blair living with them. She'd have some pretty good competition!
hehehe...

Come on, you guys, try to add a bit more flavor to this. It's not the combinations, I think they're great!It's the replies! I want to have some more fellow contributors (whether I'm 11 or not!)

I would pick:
Jo-Facts of Life
Blair-Facts of Life
Chrissy-Threes Company(only because Jo would be surrounded by 2 blonde and Chrissy is really dumb and Jo would probably get a little irritated)
Mary Anne- Gilligans Island
(i really don't have no one else that would make the show more interesting)

Where did I come up with the survivor bit? Oh, and in case your wondering, the only reaason Blair's on my list is that if you have Jo, ya need Blair (and vicea versa).

See, remember the first season? No offense to the 1st seaason fans, but that show stunk worse than my school's chili microwaved 4 days after original serving (and that's pretty bad!) Anyway, The second season (WHERE JO CAME ALONG!!!!!) Is where the show picked up huge ratings increase, and generated tons more revenue for NBC. Adding JO! was the key to the show's success. IF Jo hadn't have come along, I almost guarantee that FOL wouldn't have run half as long as it did. There, I am finished with my soliloquy! Can I go home now, LOL!

P.S.(T.J. please READ!!!!) It won't let me add on my signature and I DO have one!
