Oh please - Bonnie wished she had as much talent.

Incorrect OP. Nobody felt the need to run out of the room screaming when Two Close for Comfort aired, unlike One Day at a Time.

Also, Nancy has a pleasant personality, and tits.

Loved her. Deborah Van Valkenburgh said she was such a lovely person, and Ted Knight was kind of a pompous ass.

Bonnie is actually a poor man's Bonnie Franklin.

Dussault did a lot of Broadway and star-driven theatre on the summer circuit. She was a replacement Maria in the original Sound of Music, originated a role in a Jule Styne show Do-Re-Mi where she introduced "Make Someone Happy", was in Bajour which closes each Theatre Gossip thread to this day, worked with Sondheim albeit as a replacement in Side by Side on Broadway and Into the Woods.

As R3 says, everyone says Dussault is nice and a total pro. She's still working today.

This Ed Sullivan clip highlights her sincerity as well as her chesty mix.

Can you imagine having Bonnie Franklin hosting a network morning show? I think not.

Nancy was a fun witch in Into the Woods and I loved her in Side by Side by Sondheim. I only knew her from tv back then and didn't even know she could sing.

It might remind people to eat fried eggs.

I would love Bonnie to have hosted a morning show just to see her slap Al Roker...

Does this count as Dussault-adjacent?

Bonnie would have been more likely to slap a pompous ass like David Hartman or Bryant Gumbel, r11.

And SHE would have chased Matt Lauer around her desk and have a little button under her desk to lock himbos like him inside to service her mangy, dried up pussy covered in a thatch of angry red hair.

I'd have loved to see a Bonnie-Willard showdown.

Bonnie walks in on Willard making out with Deborah Norville. Bonnie: "Ooooooh, you were right, Willard! You said, the anchor desk would be good experience for her!" Willard: "Miss Franklin." Bonnie: "Whaddya going for? A blue ribbon in pick of the litter?" Deborah: "Bonnie!" Willard: "Miss Franklin, I think we better have a little talk." Bonnie: "Oh yes, I think we better have a little talk! Your damn right we better have a little talk." Deborah: "Bonnie!" Bonnie: "Shut up, Deborah! Willard, if you have to prove your manhood, get someone your own age!" Deborah: "Shut up!" Bonnie: "What's the matter, Willard, what's the matter? Ever try getting your kicks with a woman?" Deborah (shaking Bonnie's shoulders): "Shut up, Bonnie!" Bonnie (pushing Deborah out of the way): "How about taking me on? Or is that too frightening for you?" Deborah: "You lonely, Bonnie? You want him?" (Bonnie hauls off and slaps Deborah across the face).
