Who do you all think was the funniest character that never appeared??

Iola's Mama or Roselle?

Both had numerous jokes said about them, but neither appeared.

I say Iola's Mama. Those jokes about her were just hilarious. Although, Roselle was funny too.

Mama on Roselle's new bedroom suit:

"I don't care where some blimp docks!!"

Iola:

"It's time for Mother's midafternoon Eskimo Pie."

"Daddy doesn't have the strength to do both sides of her."

"Mother's given up the couch for good. Daddy reinforced the La-Z-Boy with tempered steel. She couldn't be happier."

Definitely Iola's mother!

Iola's mother first then Roselle

I would have loved to have seen Iola's brother Vern just to see if Vernette is his "spittin' image"(except for his mustache and his hump)

Iola's Mama she was probably very funny the way Iola said it.

In the 1981 movie "Eunice" they have Mama die & when everyone is at the funeral home Eunice speaks briefly to a couple old ladies and she refers to one of them as "Roselle." Whether its the same Roselle from the TV series, I don't know.
