The Five: Greatest Sitcom Sluts

by Lacy Hall, posted Nov 17th 2005 11:34AM
kelly married with childrenAhhhh, sitcom sluts. They are the best. Sitcom sluts are the television equivalent of cinema's hooker with a heart of gold. In the real world, you detest them. But on television, they are as loveable and cuddly as a strawberry-scented panda bear. In an age of STDs and moral conquest, they make promiscuity and dangerous sexual behaviors fun again. They are sluts. And these are my favorites.  

5. Joy on My Name is Earl- Joy is a late-breaking addition to this list. I'm not even sure if Earl counts as a sitcom. But in the land of bland reality shows, it's the closest thing we've got. It's on a network, it's 30 minutes long, and if a studio audience were there...they'd certainly be laughing. And after watching this week's episode, Ruined Joy's Wedding, Joy definitely earned a spot on the list. Humping your ex-husband (three times) just three days before your wedding is an accelerated path to the Sitcom Slut Hall of Fame. Plus, there is just something enduringly white trash and slutty about Jamie Pressley. She just looks so good being soooo slutty.

4. Charlie Dietz on Empty Nest- Hey, who said this list was just for girls? Boys can be sitcom sluts too. And honestly, Dietz is a long forgotten sitcom slut. Played by David Leisure (of Joe Isuzu fame), Dietz is the only thing I really remember about that show. And the only thing that I remember about him was that he was some sort of ship boat captain and that he banged a lot of chicks. In fact, I have one clear memory of him getting a personalized license plate that was suppose to mean Sea Lover (because he makes so much sweet love on the rough waves of the deep blue sea), but instead it read CLOVER. That's the sluttiest license plate ever.

3. Sandra Clark on 227- Please don't pronounce it Sandra, it's Saaaaaaaandra. And she was played by Jackeeeeeeeee. Sandra wore tight dresses and huge belts, up above her big round clunkety clunk. She was just a secondary character, but she worked that building with her whiny voice and her sultry swagger. Fran Drescher made an annoying voice....annoying. Saaaaaandra made it sexy.

2. Kelly Bundy on Married with Children- They just don't make teen sitcom sluts like they used to. Every season, Kelly got dumber, blonder and sluttier. The Bundys were forever broke, and yet there was always enough money to buy Kelly another slutty outfit. They were mostly tube dresses, and they were always greeted by an extended and exasperated applause from the audience. Kelly's "slut walk" down the stairs became an anticipated moment of every episode. And she never disappointed.

1. Blanche from The Golden Girls- I'm a firm believer that if there was never a Golden Girls, then there would never have been a Sex in the City. Sitting around, eating, and gossiping about men? The Golden Girls did that over midnight cheesecake in their silk bathrobes. And without a Blanche Devereaux, there would never be a Samantha Jones. She was old, but she was still banging...and banging...and banging...and banging. I remember one episode where she broke her bed because she banged it out so much. How many 20-year-old women can brag about doing that, much less a senior citizen? If there ever was a patron saint of sitcom sluts, Blanche would be it, and all others would simply worship at her altar.

Is Samantha from Sex and the City excluded because HBO shows were not an option. Also, What about Adrianna La Cerva (Drea de Matteo from Soprano's fame-now wasting her life away on Joey)? Adrianna, with her nails and working in in a strip club. It's got whore written all over it.

These are all good choices. I think that JR Ewing is a bigger slut than the guy from Empty Nest. The guy slept with Pam's psycho half-sister. Thank god, Samantha Jones wasn't on this list because she is just a rip off of Blanche.

Blanche Devereaux would be honoured and privelaged to have such a title bestowed upon her :D

Also wanted to applaud your #1 choice. And without Golden Girls, there definitely would be no Desperate Housewives. As for other suggestions, how about Vinnie Barbarino (John Travolta) from Welcome Back, Kotter?

For guys, I'd have thrown in Sam Malone of 'Cheers'. Barney on 'How I Met Your Mother' looks to be "suiting up" to be a slut. But on the distaff side, there should have been room for Sue Ann Nivens from 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show'. She may be overshadowed now by her dim-witted lookalike Rose on 'The Golden Girls', but Sue Ann was certainly cookin' it up in the kitchen as the Happy Hook-# er, the Happy Homemaker!

Quagmire from Family Guy--especially the episode where Lois catches him in the women's bathroom at the bowling alley. He might cross the line from slut to sexual predator. And, ha, no joke about Charlie Dietz. I haven't thought about that show in years.

How about Mrs. Crabapple from The Simpsons? She's hot to trot.

Dan Fielding from Night Court. He was the ultimate sitcom slut.

Hey, if you're going to include guys, how about Fonzie?

I love that you included Blanche as number one! That is so right. What about Samantha from Sex and the City? She was a slut and proud of it. Wait, was Sex and the City a sitcom?
