When the show first aired, I was in the early throes of puberty, and the answer then was definitely Jennifer. I would never have given Bailey a glance in those days. But nowadays my tastes have changed; they’ve refined. Definitely Bailey.
Mad magazine summed up the difference between Jennifer and Bailey perfectly. In its parody of the show, Bailey moaned, “It’s not that I’m ugly. It’s just that comparing you with me is like comparing the Taj Mahal with a condominium in Akron.”
As to the more recent question brought up on this thread: Janet Wood. Janet then, Janet now, Janet always. Women who look like that drive me wild, and always have. She just strikes a chord.
BAILEY BAILEY BAILEY!!!
No doubt, I hate Loni’s hair. It looked, and still does, like a huge ugly helmet. God did I hate her smile. Now the shy Bailey, you know deep down she was a wild woman!
What, no votes for Mrs. Carleson? Y’know, The Bug Guy’s mom? Owned the station?
Rich, powerful, opinionated. Yeah, she was a little old, but that just means she was experienced. I’ll bet she’d chase that butler around her big old house when nobody else was around. Remember the episode when she put the moves on Andy? She was a wild woman. Rrowr.
My picks:
Bailey
Mary Ann
Betty
Rachael
Janet
Velma (anybody else seen the cartoon with her and Judy Jetson?)
Laverne or Shirley? I’ll take that Rosie chick that Laverne was always fighting with.
