This is Round 5 of the Great Sitcom Battle, Female Characters edition. Rankings are based on input gathered in another thread. Vote for your favorite character in each of the following 2 head-to-head battles. Polls will close when the voting starts tapering off.
So far I am voting for the more fully developed character as being my favorite. And by later seasons Houlihan became an interesting person.
MTM vs MTM in the semi-finals is unfair. They should have been in the finals.
I’m stymied by the other half of the bracket. I wouldn’t have expected either of those characters to have made it this far.
If I’d thought of it before the bracket was formed, I might have nominated a literal Cinderella as a joke.
I stuck with voting lead characters over supporting characters.
Looking at the nominees and then the semifinalists, it’s hard to imagine how we got here. I would not have bet on either Margaret Houlihan or Morticia Adams making it anywhere near this far. And it’s a real coincidence that Mary Tyler Moore played two of the four best sitcom characters in history. i hope she wins at least.
I am among the shocked that Morticia and Margaret made it anywhere near the finals.
On the other hand, I’m a big fan of both versions of MTM.
mmm
I agree with this post 100%.
Though I found myself voting for Morticia often.
I’m abstaining, as there is no way I could vote Laura over Mary. Or Mary over Laura. To me, it’s a dead heat, so I’m staying out of it.
