S3 and S4 had, I think, easily the highest number of nominees for my top 10.

Lloyd Bochner as Patrick Vaughn is a favorite, mostly because the one woman's excessively drawled "It sho' is Biff" has become something of a catchphrase for me, to the point that my bf looks about ready to strangle me whenever I answer any of his questions with it these days (ie - "do you have my car keys?" "i sho' do Biff," and so forth).

I'm watching the episode in which Dorothy dates Dick Van Dyke, the attorney turned clown.

there's an episode of 'the nanny' with an almost similar plot line

It wasn't particularly memorable, alas.

Heh. When you first mentioned that you were watching that episode, I struggled to come up with a memorable quote from it to post here, but couldn't think of one!

The courtroom scene was painful.

They slowly but surely ratcheted up Rose's assertiveness over the years, didn't they?

lol
xp well coco was around but it was when dorothy was talking about getting older, and she says something like " well, i looked in the mirror and i didn't even recognize the woman staring back at me "
and rose goes " who was it? "
Rose's first punch line!
― surm, Monday, 15 April 2013 01:50 (eleven years ago) link
A+ joke
― the bagel is the bagel (donna rouge), Monday, 15 April 2013 01:52 (eleven years ago) link
Coco had a couple good lines iirc.
Dorothy: "Rose, Charlie's dead."Coco: "Why tell her?"
― cacao nibs (Eric H.), Monday, 15 April 2013 02:09 (eleven years ago) link
I keep forgetting about Coco.
The wedding coordinator was a much more grating stereotype. I can't even watch that scene anymore.
Still, the show wins back a lot of gay cred with Blanche's brother Clayton. And Dorothy's lesbian friend whose name I forget.

Jean.
NOT LEBANESE, BLANCHE
― surm, Monday, 15 April 2013 02:45 (eleven years ago) link
incidentally both the actress who played jean and blanche's 2 sisters have been on more than one Murder She Wrote episode, fun fact
Right! Also lead to that great exchange:
BLANCHE: I don't think you should tell [Rose that Jean is gay]. She's not as worldly and sophisticated about these things as I am.SOPHIA: Yeah, if she found out Danny Thomas was a lesbian, it would break her heart.
― Public Brooding Closet (cryptosicko), Monday, 15 April 2013 02:48 (eleven years ago) link
I have seen the Jean episode 3x this week.

The one where Dorothy's friend is in love with Rose was on this afternoon. I think the whole scene where Blanche finds out (from "isn't Danny Thomas one?" to "to think she'd prefer Rose over me?!" to Sophia's diss at the end of the scene) is my fave Blanche moment in the entire series run.
― Public Brooding Closet (cryptosicko), Sunday, 28 April 2013 01:02 (eleven years ago) link
I love it when the writers get slap happy and show their hand on this show
― Raymond Cummings, Monday, 29 April 2013 03:27 (eleven years ago) link
as a Lebanese gay man the general public's intense appreciation of that Blanche moment means a lot to me
― surm, Monday, 29 April 2013 03:52 (eleven years ago) link
the episode was just on where Rose tries to seduce Dorothy's date to get him to show his true (vile) colors. she's p good at it

Yikes - Huntington was from a different episode, he was an asshole Blanche was dating until Dorothy made it apparent just how big an asshole he was.

Anyone ever notice how Sophia's sister Angela morphed into her brother Angelo in the later seasons?
― Public Brooding Closet (cryptosicko), Saturday, 25 May 2013 03:49 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah
Because the actress playing the sister died and they couldn't bear to hire another actress to replace her

God, they could've just recycled Frieda Claxton/Philomena for one more round, or something.
― Not Simone Choule (Eric H.), Saturday, 25 May 2013 04:31 (eleven years ago) link
I wonder which ones contributed most to this track. I'm thinking mostly Dorothy and Blanche with Sophia twiddling a few knobs and Rose making coffee runs.

The pilot is so damn painful to watch, mostly because the script turns Bea Arthur in likable, Blanche wasn't fully Blanche, plus lame-o gay cook
