Rose: "I haven't been this scared since 1952, when St. Olaf's active volcano threatened to erupt. Well, luckily there were some Druid priests who were in town for the opening of Stonehengeland. They said they could stop it if they could sacrifice the town's dumbest virgin. I don't know why I raised my hand. It must have just been the excitement of the moment, but they said the only way to prevent the eruption was for me to crawl through their legs, up the volcano while they gave me my birthday whacks. Well, you're not going to believe this -- turns out they weren't Druid priests at all! Just some Shriners looking for a good time!"

I have all the seasons on DVD. I love the show. Maybe with Hallmark carrying Empty Nest someone will pick it up and release on DVD soon.

Soo many favorite GG episodes

Blanche: There has to be homosexuals who date women.

Sophia: Yeah, they're called lesbians.....

Btw...love your siggy of Dack Rambo..AMS.

I love how the show tackled social issues, but did it with humor and didn't try to preach. I think Sophia's speech to Blanche when her brother Clayton wants to marry his boyfriend, is rather fantastic and ahead of the times. She doesn't tell Blanche to be okay with it, just put it in terms Blanche understands and can process. :)

LOL, to every time Dorothy threatens to take Sophia back to Shady Pines. :lol:

AMS, that's my favorite Rose monologue, especially bolded... "I don't know hwy (why) I raised my hand..." Other favorites include:

-The Boy Who Didn't Cry Wolf ("It wasn't a wolf, it was a bear!... He became known as The Boy Who Cried Continuously")

-St. Olaf's meanest ventriloquist who shared a hospital room with a grieving widow whose husband haunted her every night at 10, 9 central

Rose's "hwy" reminds me of the episode where Dorothy's son marries Mary Mae Ward and her mom frets about her marrying "some skinny hwite boy!" Hilarious episode. "Rose, just do your version of the dance the Huxtables do," followed by Rose's reaction which...I can't even put it into words :lol:

The "10, 9 central" one is one of my favorites, too! It's been forever since I saw that one.

Another of my favorite Rose-isms was the whole thing with "Big Sven and Big Sven 2...you know, like Jaws 1 and Jaws 2!"

How much time is covered in the last two episodes? I've never liked how quick Dorothy and Lucas got married. They knew it was going to be the last season, they should have introduced him mid-season or just had Dorothy take a teaching job near Michael or Kate.

Yeah, that and the fact that right before the sad finale they did that depressing as hell two-parter of Rose and the heart attack. That should have been mid-season, not right back-to-back.

LOL at that hwite buouy Michael marrying Mae-Mae Ward! It's usually edited out in the syndicated versions, but Rose also has the line, "What color is black people's dandruff?", to which Dorothy replies, "Rose, black people don't have dandruff, God figures they've been through enough already."

As you all know HallMark is taking the GG off the nightime schedule. The WE Channel carries GG at night. It is on right now until midnight for anyone upset with HallMark's decision to stop airing it at nights.

Btw...The Golden Girls is on DVD. All the seasons are out already.

    • I swear this entire time I thought Roman knew about the Phillip/Vivian letter lol.  I do like how mature Roman/Kate are as a couple.  It makes me sad the new writers never got a chance to write for John/Marlena. I agree with @AbcNbc247 that the Felicity stuff is a bit after school special-y.  I am pretty sure that (most) of the viewing audience is aware that a grown man should not be shouting at any teenage girl especially one with disabilities.  Just let Xander apologize and move on. Linsey Godfrey was in her Sarah baby voice mode today and it irritates me to no end.   I know it's a cutesy thing her and Xander do but it's annoying. Bringing Kevin back is strange, but I do like the use of history.  I do think Rex probably could have been used instead, but whatever.  I don't care about Rex much either lol.
    • I mean over the past decades. But I do agree that in recent years now, the writing is not working for them as well as it used to then. It's same old, same old...which is what made the Damian storyline refreshing. At least for me.   
    • Did Denise give any interviews where she talked about her first few years on GH... '73-75? I wonder if she had any regrets leaving Days for GH, as from what I've read, the show was in the dumps writing-wise, so am thinking she didn't have great story? Any Leslie story highlights I've seen always start with '76, after Gloria Monty took charge.
    • I know! It's like second verse, here we go again!  Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!
    • that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva is Nicole's stepdaughter and is a Dupree by association. If Nicole takes Ted back then its reasonable that she would accept his daughter and i that happens, Eva will have welcomed to their country club, be invited to their parties, have access to their resources, etc....much like Andre whom also isnt a blood Dupree but is accepted by them via Nicole. Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
    • Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect! Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect!
    • Eve was one of those characters that had the "Jessie Brewer"role. They had heavy storyline, they burned through it and now they are there for support and a touchstone in the community (Marland wanted to give Jessie story, but I agree with Monty...she best served in her connecting role, and keeping that damn Amy Vining busy so she keeps her nose out of things) So charcters are important and why they should have kept characters like Bridget around (even as she is more volatiles then Eve) who didnt need a big storyline but could have been behind the bar making connections and expostion, but Rauch wanted JEVA/JEVA/JEVA and DRAMA (which to him meant a lot of yelling and stupidity.)
    • Why do I feel like (or remember possible

      ) Mark Dante operated on Jeff? Also, I was under the impression that Jeff shot himself accidentally. In his drunken stupor he saw Rick and Monica together and he thought hevwas shooting at them.
