I can remember when the series were broadcast first time, I had a crush on Chrissy. Now, approx. 35 years older, watching the recently bought DVD's, I still find her the more attractive of the two.
But as you say, they were both sweet in their own way.
I wonder how they look these days. Must be like granny's, because even when the series were recorded, they were older than the caracters were supposed to be. -

Give me Jo every goddamn time!
I loved the way she was so dumb that some of the things she said ended up clever. Unfortunately I haven't seen the show for about 35 years so I can't quote any right now. . . -

Definitely Chrissy, i've been watching them over the past few days and Paula Wilcox is gorgeous i even liked her personality, Jo seemed to be away with the fairies but of course she's nice too

Both were nice but i liked Jo best.
Richard O'Sullivan,apparently did as well because although it was Chrissy he was chasing on the show it was Sally Thomsett he was going out with.
Richard wore his jeans so tight on the show it took him hours to get them on.
Nothing to do with the question i just thought i'd throw in that bit of trivia. -

No, I don't agree. Jo was the perfect girl for me, but then again I have a soft spot for blondes!

I think Jo had the typical dim witted blond thing going, that media has told guys they should like. This was exploited more on the American version with the Suzanne Summers character (ironically named Chrissy). Jo of course was much more than that, but because of the hype for blonds, Jo had an advantage over her roommate Chrissy. As for myself though, I would go for Chrissy any day of the week. Like you said she was more mature, I liked her wit and humor, and to me she would be more fun. Both were/are adorable.

Just recently watched the box set of MATH on DVD.
I am old enough to remember the original broadcasts, and I'm just a few years younger than the girls.
I fancied BOTH of the equally I guess, but it often depended on the episode and how they played it. Sometimes it was Chrissy that I was most attracted to and sometimes it was Jo. (Both at the same time was always a fantasy of mine as I'm sure many other boys and men did too):)
Lot of gorgeous girls I remember from the 1970's (especially as I was a horny teenager at that time) Apart from Chrissy and Jo, there was "Sally" from Bless This House and those two adorable blondes ("Karen" and "Anna" I think) from Father Dear Father to name but a few.

I'm going to compare "Man About the House" to "Three's Company" here - referring to Sally versus Suzanne.
The 'Jo' character was more of a "Diamond-in-the-Rough" - she presented with navet and innocence but her comments actually showed an underlying wit and even sarcasm; 'Chrissy' (Suzanne Somers), who was based on 'Jo', was just an airheaded twit whose stupidity was so over-caricaturized that she couldn't even be taken seriously. So 'Jo' all the way here.
As far as 'Chrissy' in "Man." (Paula Wilcox) - I prefer her to Jo because the character was way more developed and milti-faceted. -

You may say that Chrissy in the US is Jo on the UK (and to a point I agree with you), but if you follow the scripts of episodes that are directly based on the original. The US Chrissy is still saying the lines of the original Chrissy.
