Jefferson or Steve?

I always liked the episodes with Jefferson in them better.
My favorite Jefferson line (from the episode with Marcy's cousin Mandy visits. ) Marcy gets jealous at Mandy's better looks and attention from Jefferson, prompting Mandy to stay with the Bundy's. She later also kicks Jefferson out to spend the night at the Bundy's where he finds Al and Mandy talking alone in the living room
Jefferson: Hey wait- what are you two doing down here together in.your pajamas? (He turns to Mandy with a very interested look on his face) I thought you were, uh gay?
Mandy: I am.
Jefferson: (turning backs to Al) Does Peggy know about this?
Al: Peggy sent me down here!
Jefferson: (increasingly amused, declares) AAh-oh! You people really are (now whispering through a secretive grin).. sick.
He was just always so much funnier to me than Steve. And great looking. IMO, he brought a lot to the show. He is missed when viewing older episodes. -

Well, in the past I would have said Steve, but today I would have to say Jefferson.
He just bought a different level of humor to the show, his constant switch between laughing about Marcy behind her back and being on her side whenever she pays attention to him is just hilarious.
Either way they're both good.

Tough call. Early on I loved Steve but in the later seasons he wasn't as funny. Jefferson I didn't like at first because he was pretty much eye candy for Marcy and acted more like Peggy. Later on he did get more interesting though.

The show was a tad funnier with Steve. David Garrison, like Ed O'Neill, had a way of delivering his lines that made you laugh out loud. With Jefferson, the show didn't have as fresh of humor as during the Steve years. But Ted McGinley was good. He actually came up with the idea of Jefferson laughing at Marcy behind her back when Al makes fun of her. That was pretty clever. David Garrison did better acting, but I think that Ted McGinley ad-libbed better on the show.
