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.

There's no denying that Jo is lovely, but she looks too much like a little girl. Chrissy has those looks, ridiculously sexy looks. I guess it's those huge eyes. Me and wifey both agree that Chrissy wins hands down.
