Oh my fucking god

[HyperZoneWasAwesome]

a severely autistic, elderly man I know was glued to The Golden Girls when I last saw him, he never misses an episode (or laughs during them). George Clooney and his terrible 80's hair was the guest star.

Oh my fucking god

Sadly, with the Golden Girls in weeknight syndication, the youngest gays have confused this timetable to mean they need five new boyfriends a week.

I attribute my longing and love for cheesecake due to The Golden Girls.

As part of the enlistment process, Arthur underwent interviews that resulted in the production of “personality appraisal” sheets. One such analysis described her conversation as “Argumentative” and her attitude and manner as “Over aggressive.” In a handwritten note, the Marine interviewer remarked, “Officious--but probably a good worker--if she has her own way!”

Her “active hobbies” included hunting with a .22 caliber rifle and “bow and arrow.”

During her military career, Arthur’s rank went from private to corporal to sergeant to staff sergeant, the title she held upon her honorable discharge in September 1945, according to one document.

When the great communicator talked about his vision of a city on a hill, I wonder if it included people sleeping on gratings in the street.

While we're on the subject...

Walk the Angry Beach, also known as Hollywood After Dark and The Unholy Choice, is an exploitation film starring Rue McClanahan as a stripper who aspires to become a movie actress, but ends up being exploited by the industry.

I can't tell if we are on the subject or not


while we are on the subject, I kinda wanta watch this show but I don't want everyone to think I'm gay.  Do I just watch it and pretend I don't get the references when gay dudes try to pick me up in the coffee shop?

[Joe Molotov]

Let him suck your dick, but make it clear you're not going to enjoy it.

[Madrun Badrun]

is that a show reference?

Over the course of the series, we see the characters focus on career ambitions, new hobbies, and more often than not, their unapologetic enjoyment of sex. So much so that the blog Refinery29 recently tallied how many men each character slept with (naturally, Blanche had the most at 165).

Nothin' dusty about Blanche

How unsettling that the whole cast except Betty White has passed away already.

To be fair, it was a show from 22 years ago whose gimmick was its focus on elderly women.

[benjipwns]

I assume they mean how Betty White was the oldest of the four?

I wonder what the alternate universe looks like where she stayed playing Blanche. I bet something crazy like Donald Trump becoming President happened in that universe.

She was Rose, you ignorant bitch.

I went to a Golden Girls drag show last year. After the show, the GG queens were doing photos with fans. When it came time for the group in front of us, one of the late 20s-ish female fans in the group turned around so her back was facing us, lifted her shirt, and she had a basically life size Bea Arthur tramp stamp tattoo. It was the best thing I've ever seen.

[benjipwns]

She was originally cast as Blanche and Rue as Rose, but they decided to swap roles to play against type

I fucked up.

Same thing happened on Friends lol. Aniston was supposed to be the uptight bitch.

[TVC15]

There's a big difference in that nobody cares about Friends, though.

She wasn't?

Has there ever been a character whose flanderization was as damaging to screen presence as Monica from Friends? Jeeeeesus from the moment she hooked up with Chandler she became such an insufferable cunt I couldn't keep watching.

...Flanders?

[benjipwns]

I never thought Flanders' flanderization was actually too harmful to him initially, he was never a complex regular character or even more than a single joke/scene character until what the third season or so? And they seemed aware that they had turned him into a one note one that they then fleshed out instead with stuff like being left handed and a good father in his own way. And it took years before he went truly crazy again at which point the whole show had become flanderized.

I mean, what I'm really saying is that one problem with discussing The Simpsons is that Flanders is getting ascribed this term that describes way more characters on it, especially regular ones. Why don't we call it Homerization or something?
