Default Benson or Saunders

Which butler do you prefer?

I really couldn't decide. They both made me laugh.

I prefer Benson, but I can't get his spinoff persona out of my mind.

Saunders was a great replacement.

All in all though, Benson wins.

Benson's attitude made him funny! Especially how the family seem to walk on eggshells than to face his wrath! The only one that I remember who caught it bad was that dummy that one character had!

It isn't bad now as it was in the seventies and eighties but they always seem to play the race card like African Americans as valets, Latinos as gang members, Asian-Americans as martial arts fighters, Indians as the bad guys against the Army. But Benson is my best!!

Benson. I like Benson better in this show than in the spinoff.

I liked them both, but I'll give the edge to Benson.
