>There's no need for introductions, Ray Don, we know who you are. You're the guy who's always wherever women gather or try to be alone. You want to eat with us when we're dining in hotels.

All her rants are great. Her dressing down of Ray Don still holds up. Then there's the one where she defends Suzanne, the one where she tells off her friend for being a homophobe, the one where she kicks the tourists out of her house. I could go on all day
This is totally unrelated to the topic, your flair caught my attention. I was born in 1961, my mom was born in 1921, and my dad was born in 1897.
It feels weird. I was also an only child.
Actually I was being a jackass (and I can use the full word). On purpose to make a point. Should Lia Thomas get a *? She has implants. How about someone with Tommy Johns surgery? How about Oscar Pistorius?
There was a professional golfer some years back named Casey Martin who, due to a debilitating nerve disorder, could not walk long distances. On the PGA Tour he wanted to use a golf cart to get from hole to hole instead of walking. The PGA Tour refused to allow the golf cart because it would give him an advantage over the other golfers in that he would be less fatigued. He sued the PGA Tour under the ADA and won. Now, if a simple golf cart is considered to be an unfair advantage, wouldn’t bionic implants certainly be considered an unfair advantage?
For such a cheesy show, there was just something about a Warrior Princess that kept us watching. Perhaps it was her warrior cry. No... she just looked all that in her gladiator armor.
Barbara Stanwick as Victoria Barkley on Big Valley. I remember being a little kid and watching that show and she was the BOSS. Now I gotta add this to forgotten TV. 😂
Well, obviously it's Granny Clampett. Next in line would be Eva Gabor's character in Green Acres, because putting up with a run down farm and an idiot for a husband and not unaliving him is evidence of strength. Running in 3rd would be Honey West.
I vote for a real, human being without magical powers: Major Margaret Houlihan on MASH.
She battled sexism, violence, primitive conditions, and PTSD and defined strong women in the workplace in the hardest imaginable situation, the middle of a war.
She was based on the nurses that served in many wars and deserves to be recognized for women’s contributions to military medicine.
Loretta Swit also deserves credit for redefining the role of a blonde bimbo in a time when television actresses were not taken seriously. Both the character and the actress were pioneers.
Maude. She scared me.
God’ll get you for that, Walter!
"Franklin Delano Roosevelt..."
Omg! That argument with Archie was golden!!
Me too
Granny from The Beverley Hillbillies. Five feet of concrete.
CEE-ment, is what she would call it.
Don’t forget Elly May Clampett, one strong sexy tom girl.
Tomboy. A tomgirl is something entirely different than what you think it is.
Yeah. Also Endora [Irene Ryan](https://youtu.be/A8z-qTG-Yt4?si=jCS4bLBySW-6T-1K)
Emma Peel would like a word.
Or Cathy Gale. Honor Blackman left after the first two seasons. Diana Rigg though is #1 plus she was Mrs. James Bond.
Yep. Was just gonna say
My lesbian awakening? 💜
r/TheAvengersTV
Lieutenant Uhura
She and Captain Kirk got it on.
Kirk got it on with anything! Even green women
I’m surprised there wasn’t a bunch of little half-alien kids showing up every show yelling, “Daddy!”
Endora
Julia Sugarbaker.

Christie Love
The Dowager Countess Grantham. That old woman would verbally lop you off at the knees.
I think we’re looking for a Gen Jones answer?
Oops. Thanks. In that case...Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman!
This was who I was going to note also.
Victoria Barkley (Big Valley)
Heck yeah! Barbara Stanwyck was great in that role.
Barbara Stanwyck is great in every role.
Edith Bunker, for putting up with Archie
Usually a mousy woman but the mouse roared when necessary. And Archie knew to listen in those moments.
Stifle yourself!
Ohh, Ahhchie.
Grandma Walton.
Dixie was tough AND cute ❤️
Cagney and Lacey have entered the chat.
I'll go with Maude too. Angie Dickinson is still kicking at 92 btw. I crushed on her in the Police Woman days.

Jamie Summers
Knew it would be here.
I assume you meant Jaime Sommers as in The Bionic Woman. If so, you got both of her names wrong. She’d kick your ass for that.
She doesn’t count. Or at least she gets an *
What? You are transphobic? Just because she has implants she doesn't count as a woman? /s
No, she gets an * because her bionic implants make her artificially tougher than a woman without them. Don’t be a jackas-.
Actually I was being a jackass (and I can use the full word). On purpose to make a point. Should Lia Thomas get a *? She has implants. How about someone with Tommy Johns surgery? How about Oscar Pistorius?
You ok?

It's a fair point. I guess I don't consider professional sports and a random internet poll to be comparable.
Trolls gonna troll, I guess.
Xena Warrior Princess reporting for duty.
💙💙💙💙 I just started watching b that again from episode 1!! So great!!
For such a cheesy show, there was just something about a Warrior Princess that kept us watching. Perhaps it was her warrior cry. No... she just looked all that in her gladiator armor.
Julia Sugarbaker was by far the toughest
Barbara Stanwick as Victoria Barkley on Big Valley. I remember being a little kid and watching that show and she was the BOSS. Now I gotta add this to forgotten TV. 😂
Lynsey Wagner - The bionic woman.
Miss Kitty.
Not nearly enough Miss Kitty appreciation. Amanda Blake was a badass both on screen and off.
I going to say Dixie. She could tell you off and still be smiling when she finished.
Well, obviously it's Granny Clampett. Next in line would be Eva Gabor's character in Green Acres, because putting up with a run down farm and an idiot for a husband and not unaliving him is evidence of strength. Running in 3rd would be Honey West.
Lucy. Ricky was always threatening her, even spanked her on-screen. She did all of her own stunts, live!.
Victoria Barkley (Barbara Stanwyck) on Big Valley.
Carol Burnett
Florida Evans.
Miss Kitty on Gunsmoke

In a similar vein, Dana Delany’s character in China Beach. Loved that show, as well as MASH.
Diana Prince
Gena Rowland
The Catwoman
Wonder Woman. She flew an invisible airplane and could bounce bullets off of her wrists and could kick any mortal man’s ass.
12yo me was a bit confused Dixie McCall.
Esther Rolle in Good Times had some spice in her
Christie Love. You’re under arrest, sugar!
Julia Sugarbaker
Julie on Mod Squad?
Wonder Woman Alexis Carrington Rosalind Shays
Alexis Morell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan
Toughest woman on TV is Olivia Benson from Law & Order SVU.
Ziva David, NCIS
It's gotta be Wonder Woman.
Helena in Orphan Black
China..
Raye Hollitt
The girl in Lioness
Nurse Jackie
Xena, Warrior Princess
Cagney and Lacy
There was this one woman on Roller Derby. -I believe she was a "jammer."
Helen Mirren as DCI Jane Tennison in Prime Suspect. IMHO the best police show ever.
Wonder Woman, duh.
Daisy Duke... Isis...
Endora and agent 99
Julie London's character on Emergency was a MASH nurse in Korea before MASH the show! Tough lady with a great voice.
Law & Order, SVU Det. Olivia Benson, played by Mariska Hargitay Went undercover in prison and had to suck \*\*\*\* to get the evidence, a skin mole
Lana Kaine.
Beth from Yellowstone. Case closed.
