Who’s your favorite?

And what, may I ask, is wrong with Iola Lucille Boylan?

Or the "bulge" in Bubba Higgins jeans for that matter?

R2 Bubba sure wasn't frumpy! loved the jeans. R1 there's only 10 poll choice options... but agree, Iola is a good one.

Lucy made the character of Ethel look frumpy so she wouldn’t show her up. Vivian Vance had to wear plain dresses with extra padding and blah wigs. Lucy also screwed Vivian out of residuals but that’s another story.

I'd say that award should clearly go to Dame Edna's Madge.

Oh, good choice, R8. I loved Brenda (Julie Kavner). She was very cute and suitably frumpy.
