A fun comparison.
Has anyone seen a British Comedy called Keeping Up Appearance? The main character is Hyacinth Bucket (she tells everyone its pronounced Bouquet). She puts on airs, comes from a poor background and wants everyone to think she's upper crust, educated and sophisticated. In many ways I see Corebeth Godsey and Hyacinth Bucket as very similar. ;D

In a way, Harriet Oleson on "Little House" is like that,along with Frasier Crane and his brother Niles on "Frasier". "Are You Being Served?" is another favorite British comedy series of mine. I also like Benny Hill. |

Marilyn: If you take Corebeth and put her in a situation comedy you'd have Hyacinth. Keeping Up Appearances is aired on many PBS stations.
NCWaltonsFan; Yes, Harriot Oleson is just like that too. I would love to see Hyacinth at Grace Bros interacting with Mrs. Slocombe. Sadly most of the cast of Are You Being Served? have passed away.
EZ: Corebeth brags about her Aimee being away at finishing school and Hyacinth brags about her Sheridan being away at university. Ike and Richard both squirm when their wives git their knickers all up in a knot.

I haven't seen Keeping Up Appearance, in long time. I used watch it, on PBS. (Not sure, still airs in our area or not.) |

I have the whole series on DVD. It's one of my favorite British comedies. As I watch The Waltons and see how Corebeth acts, including how she treats Ike and talks about Amiee being at finishing school I see so much Hyacinth in her and Richard in Ike.
