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 E14 That Was No Lady

S01 E14 Original Air Date: December 21, 1985 I am officially a homeowner. Which means I have space and privacy to watch and blog about The Golden Girls ! We open on Rose and Sophia playing a board game on the lanai! Drink for being on the lanai! A trivial board game, but the board doesn’t look like Trivial Pursuit. Which leads me to believe there’s a trivia game out there they created for this show, so Rose and Sophia could play and I must have it. Blanche busts in on the party where Sophia casualty alludes to her sluttiness and Blanche just keeps on keeping on. She’s going to buy a car, but she can only afford it if she can unload her old one. I’d like to point out we don’t know what the new car is or the old, but this is prime sitcom fodder so I am ready. Sophia suggests Rose buy the car because she needs a new one. Blanche objects. Blanche: She’s my friend. My great granddaddy always used to say there are two things you never s...

The Golden Girls S01 E04 Transplant

S01 E04 Original Airdate October 5 th , 1985 Blanche is in a cleaning frenzy! The house is a pigsty! But as we all know the house looks the same as it always has, except there are a lot more fresh flowers around. Too many fresh flowers if you ask me. All we know is Blanche doesn’t want “her” to come and she just hates “her.” The script writers added tons mystery to the opening seconds of this episode by not naming or indicating who “her” is. Thankfully Rose enlightens us that it’s Blanche’s sister, still unnamed, that she hates and that is making Blanche's life such a living hell. Blanche: I wish I’d gotten a decorator. Nancy Reagan’s decorator! Inquiring minds had to know, who was Nancy Reagan’s decorator. So obviously I looked it up. His name was Ted Graber. He was born in 1920, served in WWII, and lived with his partner, Archie, for forty years. He died in 2000 at the age of 80. If Blanche did get him to decorate for her, I hope he isn’t listed as collateral lik...

The Golden Girls S01 E08 The Break In

S01 E08 Original Air Date November 9 th , 1985 I promise a post about my adventures at the Golden Girls drag show is forthcoming, but I was so busy this week, I almost didn’t have time to watch today’s episode. So for now you must settle for this picture of my husband and me looking super excited to be with the Golden Girls from Mary’s Attic. Notice how red I am in the presence of such hotness. The ladies come home from a night on the town. Apparently they went to a Madonna concert. They sound like they barely knew who she was before the concert. “Like a Virgin” came out in 1984 and I realize it’s been a full year between that song’s release and this episode, but hot damn. How do they not know who Madonna is? They knew who Rambo was and he does not having the staying power of Madonna. They come home to discover their place has been ransacked. Funny story. Last November my apartment got robbed. They stole a bunch of worthless costume rings, my tablet, and a pound of ...
