What’s her name, the mom from Malcolm in the Middle…Kazme…Kazma… Jane Kaczmarek!
And Yvette Nicole Brown from Community
Nobody dies on So You Think You Can Dance, thus comedy. Nearly everybody dies on Doctor Who, thus drama. Â It may not be totally sound logic, but it’s mine. : )
Karen Walker from Will & Grace
“Honey what’s this” is still a staple of my vocabulary, years later.

Thanks, I don’t watch that show, so I just left the nomination as is…
I figured as much. Good on you for compiling everyone’s candidates, btw.
Lucille is my mother’s spirit animal.

Penny, Alex, and Jane – Happy endings
Donna Meagle-Parks and Rec
Jess-New Girl
Hell yes to Penny, Jane, and Alex! I love them lots.
Adding Britta and Shirley from Community to the list!
Oh and Virginia Chance from Raising Hope! Martha Plimpton is flawless.
Peggy Bundy
Turanga Leela
(I live a Katie Sagal appreciation life, you can bet your ass Gemma Teller Morrow will get a shout out when it’s time)
Edina Monsoon
Patsy Stone
And last but certainly not least, my patronus, Kitty Fucking Forman!
I too love me some Kitty!
You are good people :-D
Hyacinth Bucket from Keeping Up Appearances.
Mrs. Slocombe from Are You Being Served?
The Goddamn Golden Girls are a given.
Hell yes, Mrs. Slocombe! Â Amazing nomination.
Yay, Hyacinth! I came here to nominate her, but I’ll just second yours. I love her way too much.
The Goddamned Golden Girls all the way!!!!!!
Also, Carol Burnett from her show. Jennifer Saunders in AbFab (both her and Joanna Lumley actually) (make that French and Saunders in anything they’ve ever done). I don’t know if this counts, but Diana Rigg was in a little series called the Mrs. Bradley Mysteries that was awesome. She was also pretty funny in the Avengers of course.
But as much as I love these ladies, I’m voting for GGG to the top!
