As a male kid I thought that show was funny when it originally aired. My wife watched it alot on reruns 2-3 years ago and it was funny then too. I must've seen every episode 5 times.

RIP.

But "Blanche" for the character's name? Was that a common name?

It's the feminine of "White", in French. It was pretty common around here about 50 years ago.
