What I would really like is for the insurance companies to stop pumping money into commercials and reduce my rates.

I like Flo. Her family ones are hilarious.

There is a newer one with Carnie Wilson.

Stephanie Courtney who plays Flo has been in many other movies and TV shows. Last year alone she was in 2 Broke Girls, Comedy Bang Bang and You're the Worst.

She looks very different with lighter brown hair and softer make up...not Flo's cat eyes.

Oh yeah! 'You're the Worst' is the sitcom I saw her in recently with a recurring part. I couldn't remember the name of the show. I liked the show and I think it's coming back, but not certain. She owned a little book store, IIRC, and I wanted to see more of her. I do like Stephanie. Just cannot stomach Flo.

I also wished she was there longer and had more lines in Mad Men but, alas, she was gone in season two. She played one of the switchboard operators in the original office.

I'll take a thousand Flo commercials over all the pharmaceutical ads and their side-effects any day.

So funny.....my brother cancelled his insurance through Progressive and told his insurance agent it was because he couldn't stand Flo! We all had a good laugh.

I don't feel as strongly as you do, but I never understood what was supposed to be entertaining about her. IMO she's easy enough to ignore, but I've never thought those commercials were cute, funny, or entertaining.

Not awful, but nothing special. It's probably time for them to move on to something else.

I confess to not reading all the replies, so do not know whether I am alone in this. I certainly hope I am not.

This thinking, "Can't we do something about Flo??," is bothersome to me. When did we reach the point in our society that we think we have the right to go after, "do something about," someone we tire of?

Strive for respect instead of attention. It lasts longer.

PS....Love Flo!

Yes. Except that I never think of Progressive when I think of Flo. For me, the brand recognition is just not there. So I've certainly seen Flo over & over, but Progressive is just not on my radar at all.

I think the point of talking about a client's product is to be talking about the product. But people are talking about Flo, not the product.

Obviously, these commercials must be doing well for the company, though.

(I do like the actress, just not this particular character or ad campaign. JMO!)
