[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 239555, member: 5079"] I don't think I've ever seen PHYLLIS, other than maybe a few clips on Youtube. I loved the character on MARY, but I'm inclined to think she worked better in small doses; even on that show, I wouldn't have wanted to see her in every episode. It's hard for me to imagine a series built around her unless she was indeed toned down, which then takes away the very qualities that made her a great supporting character. Which is kind of what happened to Rhoda. I think RHODA is a decent show if rather erratic, but the character lost something in translation. I recall a critic complaining that Rhoda went from that sarcastic Jewish girl to THAT GIRL; or, Rhoda became Mary while Brenda became the new Rhoda. [/QUOTE]
