Opinion of The Golden Girls

[Thank you for being a friend...]

OMG.... It's one of my literal Top 10 favorite things in this Whole World.... it's right up there with stadium-style nachos and cheese for God's sake..

I know every line.  Literally EVERY LINE.  and every line 3 minutes before it's even said.

One of the best examples of a show that is even more popular somehow 36 YEARS after it debuted.  I'm as old as the show is actually, we both turned 36 this September.

one of the best written sitcoms of all time.  Imagine if Friends or HIMYM was as well written?

The writing on The Golden Girls is magnificent.... it truly is so sharp, so clever, so right on, and so bold for the time period - the writing, delivered by four seasoned pros (Bea, Betty, Rue, and Estelle) makes for two elements alone that make TGG one of the best damn f-ing sitcoms in history.

Talk Elections is like 45% gay men myself included so we are a VERY biased

is it really 45% gay on here?  Because I have arguments nearly every week with our straight dudes.... lol.

FS. When I was younger, I was obsessed with this show for a time, and watched several reruns of it. Betty White, who is the last surviving (and oldest) of the Golden Girls, will become a centenarian next year.

and god bless that national treasure, i hope she lives another 10 years!

Freedom show. Occasionally they show reruns on Channel 5 here, which I have watched.

Ah is Channel 5 like our Lifetime/Hallmark Channel?

The story line about Blanche's gay brother was very much ahead of it's time. 

That may have been the first time a gay man spoke with a thick Southern accent on a TV show... crazy to think that but it's rare you see it these days...

Clayton was from the Deep South.

Clayton (Monte Markham) to Blanche (Rue McClanahan): We're getting married.
Rose (Betty White): Clayton, That's impossible.  Brothers can't marry their sisters!  Oh that's right - you're from the South!

hahaha

Proud to be a member of this Forum.  A massive majority for Freedom Show... you have all made me feel so good to be a fan of Dorothy, Sophia, Rose, and Blanche... and one of the shows that went so underrated for so long, but always was on TV somehow, and today is receiving a enormous recognition as a truly great television program 35+ years after it first aired
