also, my little sister loves this story that when they were casting, they kept saying 'we need like, a betty white type' for rose. then they finally got smart and got betty white to do it!

The season five will apparently feature commentaries from Betty White.

no dish on the bea/betty/shit/dressing room incident. I'd like to think that if Bea showed up, she would have told the story without prompting.

They were? I thought the whole point was that they got Betty and Rue but they decided to switch it around from their MTM days where Betty was the slutty one and Rue was the naive one.

all are outrageously good
where dorothy lets rose in on her little trick for public speaking - imagining everyone naked
and then blanche and rose try it, looking at each other, but it doesn't seem to do anything
but then they look at dorothyh and crack up hysterically
kills me

I went to a golden girls dvd signing at Barnes and noble last year that had all of them there except for Sophia and it was the biggest freakshow ever. The collection of homosexuals in attendance had an oddly Slovenian Michael Jackson fan quality, I saw a guy wearing bleached denim jacket with massive shoulder pads 100% non-ironically and a weeping fan who had to be escorted out by security.

"Jean's a lesbian." "So? Isn't Danny Thomas one?" "Not *Lebanese* Blanche. Lesbian."

The first episode ever is on right now!
― ENBB, Friday, 21 December 2007 21:35 (sixteen years ago) link
haha with Coco!!
omg i've been watching Murder She Wrote a lot -- Jean from GG is in a few!!!
i love the Jean's a lesbian episode (esp since i'm lebanese, always tickles me pink!)
― Surmounter, Friday, 21 December 2007 21:37 (sixteen years ago) link
While I will forever be a GG fan, I HATE MSW but mainly because my Mom used to make me watch it all the time when I was little. Even the opening music is enough to annoy me! You're right, btw - that's a great episode. I had lunch next to Rue once which was pretty great.
― ENBB, Friday, 21 December 2007 21:40 (sixteen years ago) link
whaaaaaaat. amazing

Seeing Rue McLanahan in person would stir up all sorts of problematic childhood "learning things about sexuality via sitcoms" stuff for me.
See also: Jackee, Morticia Adams
― nabisco, Friday, 21 December 2007 22:28 (sixteen years ago) link
oh i was so grateful to see her in person last year. it was incroyable.
― Surmounter, Friday, 21 December 2007 22:56 (sixteen years ago) link
"seeing her in person would make me as jumpy as a virgin at a prison rodeo"
― nabisco, Friday, 21 December 2007 23:00 (sixteen years ago) link
a rue mclanahan, morticia adams and jackee threesome would be... weird
― max, Friday, 21 December 2007 23:02 (sixteen years ago) link
Rue and Jackee go together like French fries and ketchup: they were the comedy floozy archetypes of NBC Saturday-night comedy for years and years! Which, when you're 10 years old, is strangely captivating / confusing / intriguing
― nabisco, Friday, 21 December 2007 23:05 (sixteen years ago) link
fuck nabisco, that is one of my favorite fucking rue quotes evah

I caught an episode recently where Rose was talking about how her husband died during sex, and how his last words were "I'm going! I'm going!"
I had originally watched that episode when I was 12, and only now do I get the reverse "I'm cumming!" bit to the joke. Damn that Rose is risqué.
― Pleasant Plains, Saturday, 22 December 2007 04:34 (sixteen years ago) link
that's a hilarious episode -- the joke about rose killing off men through sex continues and is falldown funny!

i was definitely in tears when blanche walked out at that bar... i mean, i watch this woman weekly sometimes nightly. she's definitely part of the family now. god what a show.
― Surmounter, Saturday, 22 December 2007 17:01 (sixteen years ago) link
u know, i was SO PISSED i missed that appearance w/ the three of them -- i found about it the day after! andi worked like right uptown! awful of me.
― Surmounter, Saturday, 22 December 2007 17:02 (sixteen years ago) link
i miss them
― Surmounter, Friday, 13 June 2008 14:20 (fifteen years ago) link
They were just on CBS This Morning! Harry Smith was all like "THey're the original 'Sex & The City' girls! Blanche is like Samantha!"
I can't stand morning news shows.
― Pleasant Plains, Friday, 13 June 2008 14:59 (fifteen years ago) link
that's so cool! i knew i was thinking about them for a reason. they still kick satc's ass

CBS Early Show had Patti LaBelle on to sing about three songs earlier this week. Always chasing those elusive demos.

I saw a bumper sticker for “St. Olaf College”; took a pic and sent it to my wife, thinking it was a GG joke… she was like, “Yeah, that’s a real school.”

Those four ladies and the writers together made television magic. It’s like a fine wine: The jokes somehow are even funnier now, or I’m just getting older and maybe I understand the references a little more. On some level, every creator can reference it as a source of inspiration. For me, TV’s never been funnier.
