I will second Sally Rogers and Thelma Lou (did they ever give her last name?)

Liz Lemon (30 Rock)

Claire Dumphy (Modern Family)

Alexis Rose (Schitt’s Creek)

I can’t believe I didn’t think of Joy Turner (My Name Is Earl)

Edith Bunker

Aunt Clara (Bewitched)

Lisa Douglas (Green Acres)

Granny (Beverly Hillbillies)

Mata Hairi (Lancelot Link: Secret Chimp)

Aunt Esther

Granny Moses

Mother Jefferson

Alice Nelson

Lisa Douglas

  1. Abishola, from Bob Hearts Abishola
  2. Lois, from Malcolm in the Middle
  3. Lily, from How I Met Your Mother
  4. Gina, from Brooklyn 99
  5. Jennifer, from WKRP in Cincinnati

Chrissie Snow from Threes Company
Allison Cameron from House
Laverne from Laverne & Shirley
Dee from Its Always Sunny
Rose Nylund from Golden Girls

Two more?

Sally Rogers (Dick Van Dyke Show)
Dr. Mary Albright (3rd Rock from the Sun)

I seriously thought about putting Patty the Daytime Hooker on my list. :face_with_tongue:

Round One is up and running.

mmm

Granny’s name was Daisy Moses. She was Jeb’s mother-in-law.

Since we’re being pedantic…it’s Jed.

:slightly_smiling_face:

mmm

I don’t think House would qualify as a sitcom, so that choice would seem to be invalid under the OP’s rules.

Did we ever find out what the “D” in “JD Clampett” stood for? :thinking:

Naw. it was just a play of J.D. Rockefeller. There’s people on the Internet who want real bad for “Jed” to be short for “Jefferson Davis”.

I think his proper name was “Jedediah.”

Nanny Fein (The Nanny)

Moira Rose (Schitt’s Creek)

Peg Bundy (Married With Children)

Edina Monsoon (Absolutely Fabulous)

Suzanne Sugarbaker (Designing Women)

+2
Mary Hartman (Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman)
Estelle Costanza (Seinfeld)
