After my macabre, graphic photo post, in typical stream-of- consciousness thinking–my ironing looks like a sharpei’s coat, I need a
maid, how do you find a "good" maid, WHO can afford a maid after
filling up your car, where’s Alice when you need her?–I felt compelled
to ask you:
Who’s your all-time favorite television maid/butler?
Register your vote below and feel free to elaborate (or remind me who I left off) in comments.

It’s Mr. Belevedere all the way!!! He rawks!
And I just got an e-mail from a friend who has a friend who found a Sharpei-mix wandering around his neighborhood and no one has claimed him. They’re looking for a good home. Cute pup and not as many wrinkles as a pure bread!
Alice cuz you get Sam- FREE MEAT! It is a 2-4-1 deal.
I voted for Hazel. Although Mrs. Livingston was Japanese like our housekeeper, I thought she was a total fake-out. Our housekeeper would never speak English to a child. She always said it was disrespectful to expect an adult to accommodate a child, so we all had to learn Japanese if we wanted to know what she was saying to us. I suspect that some of the things she may have called us were never correctly translated, though.
Rosario on Will &Grace is awesome. She would call me Lady and know how to do things like bail me out of traffic jail. But for a British butler I’d go with Higgins from Magnum PI. He knows jujutsu.
Don’t tell me you’re considering ironing the wrinkles out of that pooch.
Hazel…all the way. No contest !
I had to go with Alice, but Geoffrey from the Fresh Prince is a VERY close second. LOVED HIM!
I like Hazel because she always reminded me of Amelia Bedelia. Very fun memories!
Mine isn’t on there. Mine was the robot maid on the Jetsons. 😉 But I voted for Florence anyway. She was a ham.
I voted for Benson. Loved his tell it like it is attitude. And his intelligence.
Alice, of course!
Mostly because Sam the Butcher is my brother!
Alice, they are mostly all great, but Geoffrey from Fresh Prince, for example, waaaaaaay to snide to introduce to my daily life. Alice was just sweet, helpful, loving, giving… *sniff*
You forgot Niles from The Nanny! The British accent and the ongoing jibes/banter with CeCe were awesome!
you forgot one. . .Niles from The Nanny! Loved that man! He had the greatest comebacks!
Oh Hazel definitely! I loved her. Mr. French comes in second IMHO.

I couldn’t really remember any of those characters except Alice. I always liked her. She is a jolly old soul.

Hope you are having an awesome time at Blissdom this weekend! Can’t wait to read all the posts.
While I voted for Florence as my favorite housekeeper, I’d probably never actually hire someone like her – but, boy oh boy, she was funny! Alice of the Brady Bunch is the “hiring kind” of housekeeper. But good luck finding one like her!
Alice, she was one tough broad, reminded me of my grandmother.
My vote is for Niles! He’s the reason I watched the show.
Mr. French.
Alfred is the best..although I can say that I never saw him do much of anything….still…he was always so calm, cool, and collected.
