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.

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

sometimes we just let the dvd's play on lazy sundays like this and the voices of the women ring through the house like the 3 good fairies in sleeping beauty.

aw, r.i.p. estelle, original queen of zing
Sophia: Look, Rose, God doesn't make mistakes. We were all put on this planet for a purpose. Blanche, you're here to work in a museum, so that art can be appreciated by humanity. Dorothy, you're here as a substitute teacher to educate our youth. And Rose, you're here because the rhythm method was very popular in the twenties.

I don't ever remember watching this show.
― Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 17:47 (fifteen years ago) link
i'm so sorry.
has anyone seen the episode Ebbtide's Revenge? it's the most heartbreaking thing ever. dorothy's brother dies and sophia is having a really hard time letting go of the shame she felt because he was a crossdresser. she ends up breaking down over it, with his wife, who tells her he was a good man, a good husband and father, no matter what. and estelle getty pulls out the acting stops like i've never seen.
Rose: Don't let that happen to you, Sophia. Let go of the shame. So what if he was different? It's okay that you loved him. Sophia: I did love him. He was my son, my little boy. And every time I saw him, I wondered what I did, what I said....what was the day that I said or did whatever I did to make him the way he was? Angela: What he was, Sophia, was a good man. Sophia: (crying) My baby's gone! (edit)

it's nothing short of crushing.

Blanche: I treat my body like a temple. Sophia: Yeah, open to everyone, day or night.

I have resisted downloading the Golden Girls, because it seemed redundant, it's not as if I haven't seen them all a million times, but oh maybe.

yeah, i'm wondering why i don't have this on dvd and why i'm not watching it every night. maybe lifetime will run a tribute marathon?

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.

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.
