Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
70sgayicon Old ladies in Miami. It's like Miami Vice but the sex doesn't count as prostitution since pay is in the form of valuable goods. My grandma and I used to watch this all the time with our 5 cats and I feel like that's very appropriate to mention. Remember the Miami Vice crossover episode? That was crazy. What if they had a spin off where the girls were drug lords? That'd be pretty cool. I hope to one day live like the Golden Girls, but with more cats. I've always wondered why Betty White is the only remaining cast member. This is a great show I love it and highly recommend watching it with your wino aunt.
Adriana Valenzuela (oonaheartsnonny96) This show demonstrates the perfect blend of comedy, drama, and heart. The comedy element makes me smile and laugh every time, from Rose's St. Olaf stories to Sophia's one liners. Even though the humor doesn't get a huge roar of laughter, you can sense that the writers and the actresses take a lot of time and effort to keep the audience amused. The drama element is also very spot on. Whether its something as super harsh as a character wanting to commit suicide or something as simple as an older person developing Alzheimer's disease. They handle it with a seriousness that also comes across as reassuring that things will turn out OK in the end. The heart element is spot on as well. The four main characters, despite their bickering, definitely care about each other like a real life family would. Overall, if you're looking for a show that combines humor, drama, and heart, grab your friends and watch The Golden Girls.
angelicseven All The Golden Girls TV series depicts what would be shockingly unacceptable for viewing audience back in the 50's and 60's and especially not for minors to view. It would not have been shown on TV and have been rated X for adults.. only to be seen at Drive In Theatres. Not only because of adult themes but because of the immoral swearing; which it could of done without for it to be a success. It goes to show behavior principles of right & wrong have been tossed out the window. Whenever I think of this show I'm reminded of a country song that says "slap grandma's mouth", which is what needs to be done with these mature women. As they are nothing like role model grandma's are suppose to be like and seems to encourage disgusting ways that are unacceptable for that age group. Golden years of mature women are suppose to be full of wisdom not more stupidity and certainly not repulsive to where you'd be ashamed of them. If anything, this show depicts through Dorothy, Rose, Blanche and Sophia dirty laundry of grandma's who try to come out looking clean at the expense of degrading each other or other people in ways that the viewing audience never seems to grasp. Instead of dirty old man.. we are seeing dirty old women. The creation of Golden Girls is nothing precious or really entertaining and reveals that there are some elderly women or grandma's who are nothing like we think or expect them to be. Which is a darker side of reality.On a more positive note it does show women at a mature age does and can have a life and just cause you're not around enough to see it, doesn't mean they aren't doing something. Also that some things can be ridiculous to the point of being funny at that age. It did however suggest if the elderly joined together under one household that they could compensate for each other to the point of not having to end up in a nursing home; which is kinda like in a prison. That together, there can be fun & meaningful purposes to live out your life in dignity than disgrace. It's bad that so much of society has bought into evil as the acceptable good.
mlc2005 I was six when this show first aired, but I caught the reruns, first on NBC and then on Lifetime. This is the ONLY sitcom I can watch over and over again and still laugh hysterically. What made it work was the combination of brilliant (brilliant!!) writing, and a cast that worked magic with the words. Each character was totally iconic, memorable, and independent of the other; and yet, the chemistry between the four actresses was perhaps the best ever seen on television. It's no wonder they all won Emmy awards for their performances. The heart of the show, though, was the friendship they formed with each other. This was THE show for people who felt isolated, or alienated in some way from life, family, or society. No matter how bad or weird you felt, you knew you'd be accepted and fit in with The Golden Girls. I can't say enough about this classic show. There is a reason why this show is one of the most beloved shows of all time, with a rabid fan base.
