Day Eight: Favorite female character in a comedy show
You guys, I can't decide, so you get a double dose today (Don't you love that?) so here we go!
Margaret Houlihan (MASH). She started off almost as a caricature, or at least a not very sympathetic character, but she really grew as the show progressed, and I'm so happy about that. I think what I love most is that despite the toll it took on her personal life, Margaret still thrived in her army career.
Margaret: I'm just as much a major as any other major. You'll notice these leaves come in gold, not pink for girls and blue for boys.
Scully: I'm used to a simple chain of command. With me in command.
Houlihan: And me in chains.
Margaret: There I was, alone in my tent! Suddenly, a sniper leaped out at me, and fired two shots! Bang! Bang! Without hesitation, my valiant foot locker threw itself into the direct line of fire, giving its life that I might live!
[she gives Klinger the foot locker]
Margaret: Now take this worthless piece of junk, and get me a new one! And make it fast, or I'll use the same technique to replace a defective company clerk!
Constable Maggie Habib (The Thin Blue Line). Yes, I adore Mina Anwar (apparently) but Maggie was awesome no matter how you sliced it. She was dedicated, but was willing to break the rules for her family; a feminist but occasionally put her beliefs on the back-burner to catch criminals; she was quick-witted and got along well with most people.
My tongue has so much fur on it, I may need a licence to keep it domestically
