Remember, these are objectively measurable criteria in the sense that I
can show you the episodes where characters comment on the beauty of the
character.
Regardless of how I feel about her appearance, there were several episodes
of Mary Tyler Moore based on how attractive Mary Richards was. She was
kind of a 1960's tv carry over, but she was a considered a major babe back
then, and even in the 1970's, imnsho, she probably had the best legs on
tv.

Yeah, but ti still makes the characters look like morons. I remember that
Ann Wedgeworth was on 3's Company chasing Jack for around 8 episodes, and
I started to wonder if maybe Jack was actually gay.
