The Golden Girls

Bea Arthur was always a major favorite of mine. Even pre-Maude.
Here's a GG story...
On Sept 11, 2001, the police sealed off access to my house after dark, so I had to stay at a friend's house in the West Village. Unable to sleep, I switched on the TV and was treated to endless re-runs of the crumbling towers. The same shots over and over. On over 200 channels.
Finally, one tiny station somewhere began to show Golden Girls episodes back-to-back, all through the night. The Golden Girls saved my life!

Ahhh.... thats a luverlee thought... when we were all so frazzled downtown to be able to watch back to back Golden Girls - wish i had found that station then.
It is a fantastic show..... especially the earlier episode... the cast were ALL amazing.. the one liners so fierce and funny. It's always a treat.
Used to love real early Roseanne show too...(only EARLY ones!)
Did anyone see Bea Arthurs one woman show?

It's so funny...
When I first started reading this topic I was going to post how after 9/11 "The Golden Girls saved my life". I didn't see that marathon Hatch but for some reason I just started watching The GGs too. It was total escapism but who cares, it worked. When everything was turned upside down The Golden Girls brought me back.

when you said "endless reruns of the crumbling towers" i thought you were talking about the golden girls for a second...
BAH!
love them.
love the show.

"picture it. sicily, 1923..."

I thought the same thing for a second

The all new Bea Arthur t-shirts....

Love The Golden Girls...It was Sex in the City for (ahem) mature women...Bea Arthur was co funny and Rue McClanahan was great to (I mean, Who wouldn't Blanche sleep with right?) And I love Sophia too, Estelle Getty was great too. "Picture it..Sicily...1927.." and Betty White as Rose, with her dreaded St. Olaf stories.
Hatches, I love Bea Arthur--She was in 3Penny Opera Off-Broadway in the 50s and proceeded to Yente in the original cast of Fiddler (another favorite of mine) and of course Mame (well, she wasn't Mame, but Vera was Fabulous too!) and then she met Archie Bunker and stood up for herself and WON! and then Maude..and on and on.

By the way It's on TV now as I type this! What would I do without them!

CNN Showbiz is on right now as I type, tho I wish it were the Golden Girls. Have some cheesecake Blanche.

Today is Rue McClanahan's birthday, but in the spirit of Blanche I'll keep her real age a secret.
And It's also Kelsey Grammer's birthday too.

Lenora Claire in LA is pulling together a fantastic show called "Golden Girls Go Erotic"

Check out her Myspace page about it HERE

Myspace slapped her hand for the nude PAINTING of Bea Arthur so she's currently holding a contest for the best photoshop pasties.

We know Daddy will win hands down.
