Mrs. Garrett one of "the worst characters on TV"?? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

ABlairican Pie · 10-16-2003, 11:03 PM

I had the grave displeasure of reading the latest FHM issue, one of those guy-type mags like Stuff and Maxim with scantily-clad women and all, and they listed a whole 50 "bad sitcom characters"--and Mrs. G was one of them!!!

They had the lowbrow tast to compare her to a "walrus" and other stupid crap, so, now this magazine will be honored with being the 2-ply liner for my catbox. Now I have to go out and buy a cat.

Mrs. G "one of the worst"?? Is there no justice in this world??

Thats just ..... I dont know but its wrong!

I spose everyone's entitled to their opinion. Outside the scope of sitcoms, but i always thought the worst tv characters in history were Wendy, Marvin, and Wonderdog from the superfriends.

Czas na Zywiec · 10-17-2003, 03:16 PM

I just read that magazine a few days ago. I found it funny.

And the number one spot, for the worst characters in television history are....

The Tanners!

What was it about Superfriends?? They were never going around pounding the crap out of the Joker or Penguin or Lex Luthor or any one big and evil. They just sat around and were being "Super-friendly."

agreed.

Superfriends rock - well, except for batman, whose only power was bat hopping and bat running and bat-everything else - and poor Robin, who was great at gymnastics. Wendy, marvin and Wonderdog must have been like, vocational students with the high school - doing that part-time work study - I dont know.

Obviously, I will have to address the entire situation with an 800
page fan fiction story. Hmm ... maybe a drama. <GGG>

Of course I loved Superfriends, but they needed better villains. But that Wendy, Marvin and Wonderdog were...baggage??

DetectiveGriffin · 10-17-2003, 08:53 PM

Oh, i dont know. I really though "pudgy" Lex Luthor, a scarecrow!, an ape, and a robot-clone whatever the heck BIZARRO was, were pretty cool supervillains. Oh the memories.

I liked the first show, the hour long one, that Ted Knight? narrated. "Meanwhile, at the Hall of Justice ....."

I was trying to record it on boomerang when my friend lost her dish tv. Could beat her to death, I tell ya!

We probably shouldn't reminisce here, the FOL folks may have no interest.

I think Bizarro was a sort "parallel-universe" kind of Superman, or some thing that Luthor created that changed everything into some twisted opposite of itself. Like the real Superman was lean and rugged, but Bizarro was more like a cubist sculptor's nightmare--and he talked always in opposites of what he meant.
I actually only saw clips of it in comics.

I thought the voice of the narrator sounded familiar!!

DetectiveGriffin · 10-17-2003, 09:28 PM

i just dont remember if bizarro was a robot or a clone - eh, one or the other man. one or the other.

ive got a message board for superfriends on my website, but none of my friends like the show. come over there and gab with me any time.

Rebel Queen 1980 · 10-17-2003, 11:39 PM

Was Alice from The Brady Bunch not mentioned?,I never did like
Alice for some reason,I watch the reruns and she annoys me,
Mrs.Garrett on the other was cool,I liked in Diff'rent Strokes
and The Facts of Life

DetectiveGriffin · 10-18-2003, 12:08 PM

Poor Ann B Davis. Never fully appreciated in this life.

douglasjc · 10-19-2003, 12:23 AM

What about Allison Sugerbaker from Designing women, Belle Dupree from ALice, or Beverly Ann from the facts of Life. Surely these characters desire some mention.

MrsGarrettRocksMySocks · 10-19-2003, 05:01 PM

I think that people need to do RESEARCH before they publish things. For instance, if you search for "Charlotte Rae" (and perhaps "Mrs. Garrett") on Yahoo, you find none other than the I Hate Edna Garrett site, which, obviously THEY would agree with, but, looking at the guest book there, there are obviously TONS of Mrs. Garrett fans. But, some people are just odd that way.
