Television female opposites...

[ophelia]

I'm looking for shows/movies where there are two very different female characters.

So who do you relate to better?

Are you Ginger or Mary Anne? (Gilligan's Island)
Shelly or Maggie (Northern Exposure)
The Countess or Maria (Sound of Music)
Betty or Veronica?
Laverne or Shirley?
Are you a Diane Chambers or a Rebecca Howe? (Cheers)

I'd like to dress like ginger, but at heart I'm a Mary Anne.

[Hannah Adams]

Monica on friends lol I have some OCD about cleaning

[ophelia]

Good, but I'm looking for shows where there are two very different female characters.

[Vieja]

Try HEAT with Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy it is hilarious. They both play a fabulous role but since I am already

short and fat I would love to be Sandra.

Vieja

[ophelia]

Well aside from the weight issue we all know who is sexier...Mellissa!

[NicoleScott]

Big Bang Theory's Penny and Amy are as opposite as it gets.

[Ineke Vashon]

Xena the warrior princess vs her sidekick Gabrielle.

Ineke

[YvonneDreams]

Don't know if this counts. Last Man Standing. It's pretty much Home Improvement with girls instead. There are four lead female characters, and they all have a unique personality.
Thinking about it for a while I agree with Nicole!

[Beverley Sims]

Big Bang Theory's Penny and Amy are as opposite as it gets.

Now, if I looked like Penny.... :)

I will settle for Jeannie and you can be Dr. Bellows Wife.

[pamela7]

Cagney and Lacey?
Charlie's Angels? (3 opposites)
in Gotham the two girlfriends of Jim Gordon

[bimini1]

I always seemed to gyrate towards the one that was supposedly downplayed.
Bailey over Jennifer WKRP
Julie Andrews over Bo Derek 10
Joyce Dewitt over Suzanne Somers 3s Company

[avant1465]

I'm afraid that I would be Ethel Murtz to Lucille Ball's Arnez!!!!!!

[Sarah21]

Rizzoli & Isles is one of my favorite shows. Both ladies are very pretty but polar opposites.

[ophelia]

How about Julie Andrews versus Leslie Ann Warren (remember her in Cinderella?) in Victor/Victoria?
Julie Andrews plays a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a,,,??Aw, I fergit!
Versus Leslie Ann Warren's blonde mob bimbo....
I'd love to spend some time as her blonde in those gorgeous bias cut satin evening gowns (LAW's)
But Julie Andrews always had that wholesome class...

[Jocelyn Quivers]

Gotham the two girlfriends of Jim Gordon

Good choice, and I will add I prefer the second girlfriend (the brunette), as for who I relate to Fish Mooney!

Workaholics- Jillian and the Alice (the boss), Jillian has always been my fave,

Sons of Anarchy- Tara over Wendy

3's Company- Def Janet, for sure, one of my first childhood crushes (male and female sides)

[docrobbysherry]

All of them! Or, the ones I find interesting and/or attractive anyway!:heehee:

Hermione

[ophelia]

Which witch.....West or North? I am partial to blonde and I can never find the right shade of green foundation!

(BTW she eventually died from that green copper-oxide)

[alwayshave]

The Beverly Hill Billies: Ms. Jane Hathaway vs. Ellie May Clampett. While I prefer my women in dresses, Donna Douglas as Ellie May wins hands down.

[AngelaYVR]

Catwoman vs Batgirl in the old TV series. Julie Newmar had my heart thumping every time!

[Katey888]

Diane (Shelley Long) vs Carla (Rhea Pearlman) in Cheers (NOOOOOORRRMMM! :D)

Google it, youngsters... :devil:

As a spin off from that...

Daphne Moon vs. Dr. Lilith Sternin (Crane) in Frasier

and just because the whole world doesn't revolve around US soaps and I don't know who half these characters are...

Pat Butcher vs. Angie Watts in Eastenders... :tongueout:

or how about...

Mrs Slocombe vs. Miss Brahms in Are You Being Served..?

and I definitely identify with Miss Brahms....

Katey x

[Jilmac]

You forgot to mention Elly Mae and Miss Hathaway from the Beverly Hillbillies, I would pick Elly

[sometimes_miss]

Big Bang Theory's Penny and Amy are as opposite as it gets.
Well, you do have Bernadette (and Howard's mom).

Are you Ginger or Mary Anne? (Gilligan's Island) Mary Anne
Shelly or Maggie (Northern Exposure) Shelly
The Countess or Maria (Sound of Music) Neither. Liesel (eldest daughter).
Betty or Veronica? Betty
Laverne or Shirley? Never watched it.
Diane Chambers or a Rebecca Howe? (Cheers) Neither: Carla.
Bailey or Jennifer? Bailey.
And I'll add some: Patty or Cathy? (Patty Duke) Cathy.
Uhura, Yeoman Rand, or Chapel (Star Trek original series)? Uhura
Dax or Kira (star trek Deep Space 9)? Dax
Billie Joe, Bobbie Joe, or Bettie Joe (Petticoat Junction)? Billie Joe
Becky, Darlene, Jackie or (god forbid) Roseann (Roseann)? Becky
Rachel, Monica, or Phoebe (friends)? Phoebe
And of course, Penny, Bernadette, or Amy (Big Bang THeory)? Bernadette.
Cagney or Lacey? Cagney.

More anyone?

[ophelia]

Well I don't think I could ever leave a sexual partner limp and begging for mercy the way Carla on Cheers could.

[Billie Jean]

Nobody has mentioned Max and Caroline from Two Broke Girls. Billie Jean

[carahawkwind]

My favorites these days are Ilana and Abbi on Broad City, and while I often wish I was more like Ilana, I'm far too uptight most of the time and I'm more of an Abbi.

[Cheryl T]

Guess I'm a little confused as my choices cross the board.
Mary Anne
Maggie,
Maria,
Veronica,
Neither
and Diane.

[NicoleScott]

Well, you do have Bernadette (and Howard's mom).

And of course, Penny, Bernadette, or Amy (Big Bang THeory)? Bernadette.



Penny for me, but if she's already taken, Priya.
