Jo vs. Blair
How can I say this and be nice about it? Gee, that is gonna be very, very difficult. Feel free to dislike my little note here, I know it sure as hell ain't gonna be popular.
Jo vs. Blair...
Nancy McKeon or Lisa Whelchel?
Here's the facts...
In Season One, Lisa Whelchel is a knock-out stunner. She had major competition from Julie Pikarski, Felice Schachter and Julie Anne Haddock. Those three were there for their leggy displays (you'd be naive if you didn't agree). Julie Pikarski was the official opposition, and she was actually my favorite, I really liked her. Felice and the other Julie had comparatively minor roles, yeah, they sat around and stood around as set decorations mostly (but not completely, but okay...) Lisa, however, was the star, the main focus, as Blair Warner. Let's say that on the Man's Richter Scale she was an Eight.
By Season Two (actually noticeable all the way)... and it pains me to say this... Lisa is not an Eight anymore. I'm not gonna go into this, suffice to say that the most beautiful flowers bloom gloriously, but the bloom lasts for a tragically short time, and Lisa is not the Blair of Season One anymore.
Enters Nancy McKeon as tomboy Jo. However, take note, this is Nancy McKeon. In real life, not that I knew anything about her, but clearly not the tomboy type. That ponytail... that pretty face, even when she scowls, she ain't nothin' but cute...
Okay, I don't have to write out my verdict. You know my answer. Nancy McKeon is a Ten. And I haven't even seen her legs yet...
So, as for this episode, Jo in her LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE 'peasant dress,' you could put Jo in a gunny sack and she'd still beat the pants off...
That guy Harrison... Any guy who wouldn't see THE TRUE PRINCESS in Nancy McKeon (even if Jo rides a motorcycle)... well, he DESERVES a slap / poke with a high-heeled shoe.
Written by a Nancy McKeon fan (who actually is biased towards blondes, but...)
P.S. This little show damn well rocks. All the girls get fantastically good lines! Almost four decades later, I am amazed! Putting up Quotes left, right, front and center! Check 'em out!
