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 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...

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...

S01 E16 The Truth Will Out

S01 E16, Original Airdate: January There are some episodes I’m just not into and would skip otherwise. This would be one of them. We open on Rose making a…maple log? Made of honey, brown sugar, molasses, sugar, and rice krispies. So she wants to give everyone diabeetus. Dorothy still tries it and Rose says people do make it with flour, but she thinks it makes it too heavy. All my teeth fell out just watching Dorothy eat this. Rose is making this monstrosity for the arrival of her daughter, Kirsten. Oh boy, a relative is coming to visit! And Rose is taking her all over and by all over I mean to a bunch of places that are not licensed and owned by Disney. Blanche bursts in with a newspaper declaring this man is guilty! The Duncan Osgood trial is under way and you may all say hello to the B plot of the episode. Rose asks Blanche why she’s so certain Duncan Osgood is guilty. Blanche: His wife was found at the bottom of their private lake, clutching his dickey in her hand. ...
