[QUOTE="Soaplover, post: 438775, member: 336"] I was watching the 2 part episode that introduced Terri onto the show.. and her character was a lot more sarcastic and looked as though she could call out Jack when he acted goofy.. but eventually they seemed to not do anything with her character other then be the logical and pragmatic one.. without Joyce Dewitt's facial expressions and line reading. Priscilla was more comedic on Jane the Virgin when she played Petra's OTT mother Magda. Meanwhile, Jennilee Harrison wasn't funny either despite her best attempts at playing naive in a goofy way... but man she and John Ritter were a great physical comedy team. In season 6, Cindy the Maid was a pretty good showcase for her and I think she worked better in a supporting/recurring character way like Larry/Furley. Suzanne was adorable, sweet, and intelligent in a naive way in season 1 to 2, season 3 was a perfect balance of a goofier Chrissy that still had the sweet warmth of season 1/2.. while season 4/5 was a Chrissy that I was surprised could wake up, dress herself, and go to work. Sometimes Suzanne would do things in her career that kind of worked against her such as this one interview with a writer that worked on She's the Sherriff where Suzanne wanted the character to be written/presented like a Lucille Ball type of character while the writer stated that if they wrote the lead character like that.. it would hurt the show because no one would take her seriously as a sheriff. Suzanne won out, and it didn't work for the show or character. Suzanne in one interview talked about Step by Step where she said she had to reign it in and not go for the joke/punch line because she was playing a sitcom mom.. but I will say that Carol Foster was quite a memorable sitcom mom for a 90s family friendly sitcom.. and she and Patrick Duffy had great chemistry and could banter back at one another with ease. That was where I noticed Suzanne getting the laugh was in scenes opposite Patrick Duffy while she played the mom aspects more straight. [/QUOTE]
