Wow.. If I knew that show had such deep meaning, I would’ve taken notes!

And by the way, Mary Ann rated higher among male watchers than Ginger.

Yea but that because equal looks but Mary Ann = low maintenance vs Ginger = high maintenance

“And by the way, Mary Ann rated higher among male watchers than Ginger.”

I was a Ginger kid myself. As an adolescent with hormones working overtime Ginger and Jeannie were my TV sweethearts.

As for the seven deadly sins connection, I don't know. I have read a few books on the show and that's the first I heard of that. It was however my favorite show in the 60s and into the 70’s on reruns. I even now own the complete series on DVD which my 8-year old likes to watch.

The whole Ginger vs Maryanne thing takes on a new and scary aspect once a man passes a certain age...Lovey Howell becomes a contender....here's why....

Ginger would kill you.

Maryanne starts to remind you of your daughters's HS friends.

Lovey falls into the "Won't tell, won't swell and grateful as hell" category with the added attraction of Thurston's money when he kicks off.
