Casanova Wannabe: Sonny constantly flirts with the waitresses, who think he's pathetic.Break the Haughty: Nancy, when she is temporarily fired at the end of season one.For what it's worth, Sonny also has a failed marriage at the place. It gets to a point where three of the girls note Jan, Amy, and Ginger literally get married at the damn place note Technically, Nancy actually does get married outside of the restaurant, but an earlier episode has her get married at the restaurant in a dream sequence. We rarely even got to see the other places of the hotel, either.

While the show wasn't too married to the idea, the series itself rarely sees the girls outside of the restaurant, much like Cheers or Alice. Bottle Episode: Sort of a Bottle Series.Later groupings generally kept a similar hair color balance, along with Token Black Ginger. Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: The original waitress quintet featured two blondes (Cassie, Lois), two brunettes (Dot, Vicki) and a redhead (Jan).Then in the middle of the opening credits came "and Ann Jillian as Cassie", then more credits, and finally "and Barrie Youngfellow as Jan." Jillian getting special billing made sense, since she'd had a long career starting as a child actress, but Youngfellow wasn't really any more famous than the rest of the cast. Top billing went to Susan Sullivan in Season 1 and Louise Lasser in Season 2, since they were the best-known cast members, but neither Lois nor Maggie were really the main characters. And Starring: Especially in the first two seasons, the way the actresses were billed was unusual.Always on Duty: From the second season on, despite being a very posh and usually very busy restaurant, Above The Top only employed four waitresses and those waitresses apparently worked every night of the week.Amy's frizz was quite formidable as well.
