Lucy
Rest in peace, Bea Arthur. Between Maude and Dorothy, she always knew how to deliver a hilarious one liner!
👍👍👍👍
And RIP Norman Lear, responsible for a large portion of these characters.
B arthur was one in a Million
Well Maude is a murderer of the unborn, so Dorothy is obviously better
Bea Arthur was a queen 💜
The cast of golden girls were totally ahead of their time I loved watching the show when I was a kid ❤
RIP Norman Lear: he was incredibly ahead of his time. Maude, The Bunkers, The Jeffersons, The Willis'...just an amazingly creative genius.
Lucy Ricardo from I Love Lucy as Lucy and her husband became the first interracial couple to be featured on American television at a time when being an interracial couple was illegal and led to serious repercussions.
Though I think the law was against a white person marrying a black one , Lucy & Ricky Ricardo were indeed the first TV couple to have different ethnic backgrounds .
Marriage is regulated by the states, the Ricardos lived in New York though I do not know where they were married. My quick search indicates New York never restricted marriage by any definition of race or ethnicity.
“Condoms, Rose! CONDOMS CONDOMS!”😆
Calm down lady, you just got out of prison.😄😄.
Bea Arthur alone is television icon for a reason.
Benson didn't hate the entire Tate family or the entire Campbell family. He had great affection (or at least sympathy, patience, and/or tolerance) for some members of both families, and complete disdain for other members. You're right about Benson being the most clear-headed person in the mix; I saw him as a moral compass of the show.
❤ _Soap_ and _Benson._
Totally agree. He loved Jessica Tate and liked the younger son Billy.
Agree completely. There were episodes Benson would go out of his way to help or protect some of the Tate or Campbell family. Jessica, especially.
Great to see “Julia” and Diahann Carroll recognized.
Chico and the Man should get an honorable mention.
Julia Sugarbaker needs an honorable mention.
That's my only gripe about this list. Designing Women and The Golden Girls ran for the same length of time one year apart, and Julia Sugarbaker is such an openminded woman. She's not afraid of anyone. I was hoping she would be on this list.
I think all the leading ladies deserve to be on this list, honestly.
This list could have been a straight run-down of everything Normal Lear touched. Maybe when this is translated into a top 20, there will be room to mention his other shows. I'm pleased to see Soap featured here twice. Benson and Jody were truly ground-breaking characters, though Benson's sarcasm was toned down a bit for his spin-off series.
Golden girls touched on a lot of topics that were taboo
I absolutely adored Beverly in all in the family 😊
My picks are Michael Evans , Endora, Uhura, James Evans (first Black Father regular) ,
Jody Dallas was a full fledge person and not a caricature.
GOLDEN GIRLS led the way for LIVING SINGLE and SEX AND THE CITY and all other female driven shows
Interesting how most of these were from the 60s and 70s.
Well the subject matter is "characters ahead of their time" which invites a certain look back in time from a modern perspective. Exactly who would be "ahead of their time" in the 21st century? Star Trek perhaps? 😊
Soap is rather a good sitcom to watch.
Norman Lear was one of the greatest players in the television game. 😀😀😀
This video was a delight! Thank you!
Merry Christmas beautiful msmojo
Merry christmas, Sophia, and what a great top this was. Happy monday to you as well. Take care and God bless you, and greetings from Colombia.
Thank you for the update, MsMojo..!! After growing up, I learned Al Bundy was correct on a lot of things. Happy Holidays, MsMojo..!! 🎄
Happy holidays!
Great list!! Love The Golden Girls and That Girl❣️ Merry Christmas 🎄☃️🎄
I was gonna be so mad if Lucy wasn't number 1. 😂
Soap was always touted as the first night time soap opera that made fun of everything. but it wan't Mary Hartman Mary Hartman debuted a year earlier. And it ridiculed everything. Also Soap was a once a week sitcom while Mary Hartman Mary Hartman aired five times a week. Maybe because Mary Hartman was syndicated and not a net work show is why you don't include it. But is was hilarious and I never missed it.
Happy Christmas to you msmojo
Mary Tyler Moore?
Beautifully well-done!
Thank you very much!
I grew up watching almost all of these shows and I loved every one of them! They were the BEST! ❤
They were brave tell their truth
I adored all of these characters and shows. All were favorites of mine 😊😊.
That Girl was ahead of it's time portraying a single female lead character making it on her own, but the reason why the character of Mary Richards on the Mary Tyler Moore Show is considered much more of a TV icon isn't just because she was an independent career woman. It's because she wasn't dependent on a father or a boyfriend or any other man, plus Mary would become a highly successful authority figure at work, Mr Grant's second in command. On the other hand, That Girl's Ann Marie was highly dependent on her boyfriend/finance and she had a desperate need to please her father. She did represent the working woman's struggle to succeed, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory as often as she brought home an important career win, but she didn't represent the idea that women could succeed in a man's world in the workplace as well as MTM did.
However, it can be said that the success of That Girl paved the way that allowed the extremely popular Mary Tyler Moore to create a relatable and successful career woman who could be a much more solidly independent leader at work and at home once the network offered her her own show. And it was just five years after a different network told the producers of another groundbreaking show, Star Trek, that the network suits never want to see a woman giving orders to men. Gene Roddenberry was denied his female first officer on the Enterprise in 1965, but Lou Grant sure got his in the WJM newsroom when the MTM Show hit the air in 1970. That Girl came first but MTM will always be the number one female icon that helped change the way female characters were written and viewed by American television.

Roxie Roker also had a white husband. Her child is Lenny Kravitz!
Joey from full house should be on the list. He was was ahead of his time in the fact that not many adults back then watched cartoons or had their room filled with pop culture stuff. He also hade a pair of tmnt pj's lol. Nowadays it's common for adults to have that stuff especially millennial and gen z. But not many boomers did.
The abortion episode of Maude didn’t age well though; because nowadays there are plenty of female celebrities who are having their _first_ respective children while in their late 40s or older (Janet Jackson, Naomi Campbell, Tamron Hall, Da Brat).
They have plenty of help with nannies and other ‘paid professionals’ PLUS extreme fertility intervention. Big percentage of abortions now are married women with children. Couples decide they don’t want or can’t afford more kids.
Everyone I wrote a letter to make everything thing free for everyone else i also let people use laugh tracks even tho they don't use my type of laugh they use teenagers laughing kids laughing adults laughing normal laughing i just can't stand someone else not having freedom my heart couldn't take it so I wrote a letter
How is "everything free for everyone else," Linda, please explain. Are you OK Linda? Off your meds?
@@markmh835 i just everything to be free for everyone else
@@markmh835 is that bad
I hope that works out with the best possible outcome. ☮☯️🕊
Happy Holidays, and may the New Year bring more peace and prosperity than previous years.

Maude's a baby killer. If the character was real she'd be burning in hell.
