Time for a Golden Girls PSA

Oh my God, I miss my weekly updates. It takes me about two hours to watch an episode of Golden Girls and do the blog. And while that is two hours well spent it is two hours I haven’t had for a while. I have been stupid busy and I have officially started my master’s program, so now I’m stupid, stupid busy. By the time I finish all my writing work, the last thing I want to do is stare at my computer screen anymore. This blog is not dead. But from now until the end of the year it will be sporadic. October looks slightly better. I have less time-consuming projects to worry about. I will say, once the new year hits I should have more free time. In the meantime, I’m trying to work on a schedule to watch one episode through the week and post on Sundays again. This may end up being totally unsuccessful, but we’ll see.

S01 E17: Nice and Easy

S01 E17 Original Airdate February 1 st , 1986 My in-laws were visiting so I wasn't able to get this up on Sunday, but it's here now! Also Facebook targeted ads hit me up with this: Tickets!! During last week’s episode I kept making comments that Charlie, Rose’s granddaughter, was obviously related to Blanche. This week we actually get a relation to Blanche. We open on Sophia putting cotton balls between her feet to paint her toenails. I am thoroughly disgusted because feet are gross and I have no desire to see Estelle Getty’s. Blanche comes in just as disgusted as I am. She tells Sophia Lucy will be there soon and it doesn’t look good. I recently adopted a second dog and named her Lucy. That name is about to be tainted isn’t it? Sophia: I say, let relatives see how you really live. That way, they don’t hang around. Blanche’s niece is in town for a college interview and Blanche hopes they go well so she’ll live closer. Don’t worry. We’ll never se...

The Golden Girls S01 E01 - Pilot

Picture It: Miami 1985-1992 I fucking love Golden Girls. It is a known fact about me. Coworkers, family members, friends, complete strangers are well aware I love this show. It premiered before I was alive. It ended when I was 5, but I loooooove it. When the syndicated episodes began to air on Lifetime I would come home from school and watch the two episodes they aired. Homework was for nerds. Golden Girls was for winners. I had a friend in high school who would marathon this show with me. In college I would watch late at night, because this term paper can wait, Blanche might sell the house! There are better written shows with way less continuity errors out there, but this is my favorite show. Which is why I am going to rewatch the whole series and share the experience through this blog. And I'm going to make a game out of it. A drinking game, because that's always appropriate. For anyone in the know there are certain repeated aspects of Golden Girls that are pretty we...

S01 E 18: The Operation

S01 E18 Original Airdate February 8 th , 1986 It’s been, um, *looks at calendar*, way too long. The world needs the Golden Girls and it needs them now. We open on the front door, followed by a concerned Rose, with Blanche leading a wounded Dorothy. Apparently Dorothy hurt herself in “class” trying to do a “six-count Cincinnati riff with a double pullback.” Of course, we couldn’t possibly just say “Dorothy hurt herself tap dancing.” Nay, nay, we must showcase the fact Betty White is a dancer by having her show-off the move. Fun side note: the dad of one of my childhood friends had a huge personal library, completed with a book by Betty White about dancing. So that’s fun. Also, Betty White looks like a hoofer. Also, also, I legitimately hate tap dance. So this is gonna be a real fun episode. Real fun. Thankfully Sophia is there to quip that old people get frisky and agile on medication. Oh man, the old people jokes! They’re coming! Blanche expresses concern over Doro...
