Golden Girls: Classic or Dud?

That tranny funeral episode really is a good one.

People do realize the jokes that have appeared here so far are rewrites of SCREWBALL COMEDY lines from the '30s, right?

So how many of her GG castmates were in fact older than EEG? Betty White for sure I think.

Bea Arthur as well. Rue McClanahan about 10 years younger (just looked this up to prove my husband wrong about Estelle Getty being the youngest)

i don't fucking care

also, a lot of it is about the performers.

I understand that, Sur.

dorothy : "hi blanche"
blanche : "eat dirt and die, trash"

With lines like that, it'd have to be...

not sure what that means, but i love the line.

Morbz only likes NEW jokes lolz

like that shirt you've got on! BA DUM

I just think Dody Goodman got shafted in the Crazy Old TV Mom Deathstakes.

Very sad. But, based on reports of her health over the last few years, a blessing.

argh i know.

Yeah, her brain's been being eaten by disease for at least the last 7 or 8 years.

Any doubt that the mincing, unmarried 60-something man in my office is gay was put to rest when he came over to my cubicle just now giggling about some Sophia Petrillo zinger he'd just read in an online obit.

mincing??????

i'm still wondering who's gonna be the first d-bag to follow ilx tradition and piss on her still warm grave.

i thought it was put to rest when he sucked you off in the men's room?

yeah i know what it means, just surprised that you used it like that

Why?

mincing love it 5 up, 5 down hate it

Two people find a dead body. One puts their mouth over the penis, and the other elbow drops on the dead persons stomach.

uhm. ok.

it's just such a weird verb

adjective

whatever

It's an economical way of summing up all of the various campy and/or dainty gestures he makes.

I went to a mince meet at the swish chalet

my girlfriend's going to dress up in her sophia wig and eat lasagne in estelle's honor tonight.

It was only a matter of time.

I will tell my mom to shoot in Estelle's honor.

whaaaaat

(btw my mom will be 80 in about a week, and i've kept a couple 25-year-old refrigerator notes from her, I should transcribe them here, by popular demand.)

please do

ogeez PLEASE

I just want to make sure everyone got similar notes.

my ex-roomie's ex-gf used to write small "I hope you have a great day!" in the lunches she prepared us. She was living rent free in our home, eating our food, and stealing our cigarettes - but the lunches/notes were nice.

I was just watching this show last night. It's actually pretty funny. I just remember seeing it on as a kid while waiting for the Gary Shandling Show, understanding jokes from neither show. But I liked Shandling's style.

I'm really sad...I grew up watching Golden Girls reruns; Sophia was always my favorite (though the entire cast is brilliant). RIP x 10000000000000000

this shit is on like three or four times a day on the Lifetime channel kids

why am i not surprised you have the Lifetime channel's line up memorized.

I was home with my baby daughter for 7 weeks.

Lifetime channel is awesome ftw

I didn't realize she had Lewy body dementia. My granddad died of that in 2004. :(

Quote from one of her sons on the BBC report:

"She was loved throughout the world in six continents," said Carl in a statement, "and if they loved sitcoms in Antarctica she would have been loved on seven continents."

Funniest thing I've read all day.
