Friendship of Laura and Millie - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I think the friendship of Laura and Millie is a suburbian version of Lucy and Ethel. There were a lot of similarities between those four women. Too bad the show never did more storylines with Millie and Laura. Personally those two are very funny and compliment each other well. They were underrated in many respects as a female comedy team.

I think the funniest episode of the Laura/Millie friendship was "Long Night's Journey into Day" when they were so frightened while the guys were away.

The three best tv friendships:
Lucy and Ethel
Mary and Rhoda
Laura and Millie

Laura and Millie are maybe my
favorite "secondary" (?) team
on the show. Their scenes always
work and never drag down the show
in any way. It's fun to watch
them together. Alan and Mel are
good too. I always like to see
the only extended scene with
Rob and Millie by themselves
in "The Death of the Party."
Seems unusual but it kinda works.
I wish they didn't always edit
part of it. I think Millie mentions
how unusual it is. Millie's
good. I'm glad she'll be in the
reunion. It's funny how little
groups formed within the show.
I notice how Buddy and Sally
always seemed to watch out and
take care of each other within
scenes. I love how Millie switches
gears in "Long Night's..." and
comes out with "You hit me again
and I'll slug ya!" to Laura.
That's funny stuff.

I think the sudden ending of the show while still in it's prime cheated us out of many things, the friendship between Laura and Millie being one of them.
With all of the directions the show went in in it's run, they never got much into the zaniness that could have taken place with these two, and I think they would have. Remember "Three Letters From One Wife?" Yep. We got cheated.

Thats so true and sad. They shouldn't have canceled TDVDS untill they beat it to death...so many untold storylines. *sigh*

I love the relationship between Laura and Millie. They truly complimented each other. One of my favorite Millie lines is in the episode "Empress Carlotta's Necklace." Laura laments "What am I going to do?" and Millie responds, "Wear it to a bad neighborhood. Maybe you'll get held up by a thief with bad taste."

I love that line!!!
