Message: <blockquote data-quote="Soaplover" data-source="post: 433031" data-attributes="member: 336">Looks wise, Mary Frann (Joanna) is perhaps the only female that the 80s look looks great even in the 2020s.  Her hair, makeup, and sweaters just look perfect on her.I think the show and Mary Frann had trouble finding the funny in Joanna, but there were a few episodes where the show and Mary Frann found the funny in Joanna's character.   Joanna, as you said, was a sensible character that tried to look at the bright side of things and present herself as being perfect.   Season 1 had an episode where Joanna had mishaps left and right to the point where she comes down in a sexy night gown for a night of romance only for the whole town to be downstairs.The other thing was that she and Julia Duffy had good comic chemistry... and I know that both actresses had said they wanted to try a Lucy and Ethel type of routine for the show.. but neither could decide who was the Lucy and who was the Ethel.</blockquote>
