Guess my new Apterous DC character!
I have added a new Dictionary Corner character on Apterous to be included soon. Here are some hints as to who this person is.
[*]This person is female
[*]This person played the oldest child on a very popular '80s American sitcom

Re: Guess my new Apterous DC character!
Is it Kelly Bundy from "Married with Children" or Becky Conner from "Roseanne"?

Sophia out of The Golden Girls. What do I win?
If I suddenly have a squirming baby on my lap it probably means that I should start paying it some attention and stop wasting my time messing around on a Countdown forum

Re: Guess my new Apterous DC character!
I thought at first it was going to be Betty White. But then you said this person played a child in a 1980s sitcom, so it can't be Betty as she would have been in her 60s then; so now I'm stumped.

Jason's made this pretty tough by not mentioning that the sitcom in question has never been shown in the UK.

Phil, Betty White is actually in her 80s.
Jim, oh yes, the sitcom in question has been shown in the UK. It is this one.

Yes I know. The 1980s happened 20 years ago. Hence she was in her 60s then. Which is what I said.Jason Larsen wrote:Phil, Betty White is actually in her 80s.

Re: Guess my new Apterous DC character!
So your character is D. J. Tanner then. Another of these people who are bizarrely just known by initials who seemed to be so popular on American TV. It says she "[can handle] many tough situations with general ease", so should be an interesting character during some of the difficult word games. Can you tell us a little more about how you are going to adapt and develop this character, Jason?

No, it's her real self. Her name is Candace Cameron-Bure. She married Valeri Bure, a former Russian hockey player. She is a devout Chrisrian, very beautiful and very funny too.

Re: Guess my new Apterous DC character!
Wikipedia, Internet Movie Database and tv.com all come up blank for UK showings, so you'll have to tell me what channel it was on and when, cos I'm pretty sure it's never been on over here. There was a completely unrelated ITV-made sitcom of the same name in the mid-1980s (prior to the American show starting), but that's about as close as it gets. Which isn't very close, what with it being a totally different show.Kieran Child wrote:Full House has been on in the UK.

He did have some pet fireflies in St Elsewhere though; he was catching them in a jar, on the green in front of St Eligius Hospital, at the beginning of the episode where he got shot. That was a great episode. But then they were all great.

What if you were to get murdered by a Canadian lesbian with a breadknife while brushing your teeth? Its unlikely but definitely a possibility. And it makes your '100% chance' assertion look positively mindless. Up your game Larsen.

Re: Guess my new Apterous DC character!
I've heard some people say that show should never have ben canceled.
In fact, Marg Helgenberger, one of the actresses now on CSI, appeared on that show also. She's a funny lady!
Could she possibly be added as a Dictionary Corner character on Apterous?
