Well, since some of my other favorite shows started to get threads, I decided we needed one for one of the funniest sitcoms ever!  The Golden Girls! You know them: Dorothy, Blanche, Sophia and Rose! You've "Pictured This" and gone Back To St. Olaf many times. Who was your favorite character? Any episodes stand out? What funny lines make you laugh over and over?

Well, my favorite character is Dorothy. Sarcastic and to the point Dorothy My alltime favorite episode is Grab That Dough. The final scene where Blanche and Dorothy win a friggin skillet kills me each time I see it! And let's see way too many lines to think of. I'll add more as hopefully more people reply in here .

Dorothy: Ma, what are you doing?

Sophia: Filling sandbags, Dorothy, there's a hurricane a-coming!

Dorothy: A-coming?!

Sophia: That's right. People only use the 'a' when a really big storm is a-coming or a-brewing, so grab a sack and start a-shoveling!

Dorothy: Ma, there is no hurricane a-coming.

Sophia: Don't patronize me!

Dorothy: I'm not patronizing you, I'm a-mocking you!

@ the gay comment...

[CellyDee87]

LOVE The Golden Girls , Sophia is my favourite what a classic!

Another gay thread   it just means they have taste lol

I wonder if there's a F.R.I.E.N.D.S thread?

[scorp82]

LOL!  I love The Golden Girls! It's a great show!

Here are some of my favorite quotes...

When Blanche's brother Clayton came out as gay and she couldn't accept it...


Blanche: I don't really mind Clayton being homosexual, I just don't like him dating men.

Dorothy: You really haven't grasped the concept of this "gay thing" yet, have you, Blanche?

Blanche: Well there must be homosexuals who date women.

Sophia: Yeah. They're called lesbians.

[scorp82]

In this episode, Dorothy's lesbian friend, Jean, is visiting and develops a crush on Rose... Dorothy and Sophia tell Blanche that Jean is a lesbian and likes Rose.


Sophia: For starters, Jean is a lesbian.

Dorothy: Ma.

Blanche: What’s funny about that?

Sophia: You aren’t surprised?

Blanche: Of course not. I mean I’ve never known any personally, but isn’t Danny Thomas one?

Dorothy: Not Lebanese, Blanche. Lesbian.

Blanche:  Lesbian?  Lesbian.  Lesbian.  Oh!  Isn't that when a woman and another woman...

Dorothy:  Yes, and that's not all...

Sophia: Jean thinks she's in love with Rose!

Blanche: Rose! Jean has the hots for Rose? I don't believe this, I don't believe this!

Dorothy: We were surprised, too.

Blanche: Well, I'll bet. To think Jean would prefer Rose over ME, that ridiculous!

Dorothy:  Blanche, put yourself together!

Blanche:  You haven't told Rose anything, right?  Oh good.  After all, she's not as worldly and sophisticated about these things as I am.

[scorp82]

And another favorite quote of mine.  When Sophia is noisily eating fritos and Dorothy becomes annoyed...


Dorothy: Ma, would you please stop that?!

Sophia: These are fritos, Dorothy. What do you want me to do, swallow them whole?!

[Edwin]

Good ones scorp82!

Rose : Ned was sort of the town idiot.
Sophia: When, on your days off?

Sophia: Blanche, a terrible thing has happened to you. But when life does something like this, there are a couple of things you got to remember. You got your health, right?
Blanche: Yeah.
Sophia: You can still walk, can't you?
Blanche: That's true.
Sophia: Great, go get me a glass of water

I love The Golden Girls----I loved it when I was a little boy, too.

I love the one where Dorothy and Rose are writing a song for Miami.  I love when they do "Miami is Nice"---they go into Rose saying "thrice"----and she ends up sing "Miami...you're cuter than...an intrauterine"

[Edwin]

Cause you're so old now, Alex? First clip is the song in full and the second one is what Alex was referring to:

I have to say what i feel
Miami has so much appeal
A great place to get a seafood meal
M.I.A.M.I
Miami, Miami
You've got style, Blue skies, Sunshine, white sand by the mile
When you live in this town, Each day is subline
The coldest of winters are warm and divine
Miami, Miami
You've got style, Blue skies, sunshine, white sand by the mile
There's more clubs and night clubs all within reach
Dance the samba till morning, then lie on the beach
Each day is a postcard
Each day a great time
The cream of the crop is the top of the line
Miami, Miami
You've got style, Blue skies, Sunshine, white sand by the mile
MIAMI
You Got Style!!

At Christmas when Blanche is opening her gift from Rose...


Blanche:  Well Rose, it's a beautiful blouse!

Rose:  I hope you like it.  Dorothy said you would like something crotchless.

[Edwin]

hehe, and the Christmas where they make each other presents! I don't remember this exactly, but Rose got Dorothy a maple syrup spigot. This is also the Men of Blanche's Boudoir calendar.

Dorothy: Awhh, this will come in handy more than those pearl earrings...the next time I'm stuck in the woods with a stack of pancakes

and then.

Dorothy: WOW!
Blanche: September?
Sophia: I'm surprised you were able to walk in October!

[shady pines ma]

Sophia: I feel like a free man.
Rose: Well you didn't actually go to jail.
Sophia: Ok, forget the free part. I feel like a man.

[amyja89]

I LOVE the Golden Girls! I have the first two series on DVD, hope to get the rest soon!

My favourite character is Dorothy too, but most of the moments I find absolutely hilarious are the moments when Rose talks about St. Olaf and pronounces the crazy words like "hurgen-flurgen"!

[Edwin]

Some of Dorothy's best lines, hehe.

Dorothy: Oh Ma, why did I ever marry that man?
Sophia: Because he knocked you up.
Dorothy: Why did I ever let that happen?
Sophia: Because he got you drunk.
Dorothy: Why am I having this conversation with you?!
Sophia: Beats the hell out of me!

[Davey84]

I wish I could join y'all on the memorizing of dialogs, but it's been years since I've seen it... ALF was more my 80ies comedy

[Edwin]

I'm glad you enjoyed it dear. You will lurve this Bea Arthur SATC parody

[Davey84]

OMG that was SOOO FUNNY!! and she never looked that good before!

[Davey84]

Quote

Golden Girls alums Bea Arthur, Rue McClanahan and Betty White reunited at the TV Land Awards in Hollywood this past weekend, where the trio were honored. As they should!

Estelle Getty was unable to attend as she continues to battle health issues.

Be sure to catch the ladies on the show when the TV Land Awards premieres on Sunday, June 15th at 9 p.m.

You won't wanna miss the Perez cameo!

[Edwin]

They've all gotten so young Yeah, I've seen the ads for it, I will definitely be catching the show.

your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidante...

[shady pines ma]

Blanche: *something something* one of the greatest Hungarian sculptors of our time.
Dorothy: If she can name three Hungarian sculptors of any time, I'll eat that statue.

[scorp82]

Thanks for posting that picture of Bea, Rue, and Betty!  

I did not know they had a reunion at the TV Land Awards!  I'm very glad to see that!


And I don't know why I notice certain things... But I feel bad for even saying it... I know that they are of advanced age, but Bea and Rue's  choice of shoes is just terrible!  Could they have worn something a little more fashionable?  Yes, I know, it's bad... But I had to say it!

Maybe something something like this, bb?

Blanche: Laslo, before you make your choice, just let me say what a privilege it has been for me to come here and work with the man whom I consider to be the greatest Hungarian sculptor of our time.

Dorothy: Yes, and just let ME say that if Blanche can name TWO other Hungarian sculptors of ANY time I shall eat that statue.

LOL, I didn't even notice that until you said something. I dunno, I've done worse. I've done underwear over pants, bra over blouse... That wasn't exactly what Sophia said, but maybe it's Joey's turn to correct a line

[Edwin]

Blanche: No, no, no please. I cannot bear that again. She was listening to her car radio, Big Band, not all talk. There was a contest. Something about a little voice, a lucky number and a dime in a door handle, then Bim Bam Boosh, won the tickets.

Dorothy: Take a lesson Rose. That's how you tell a story.”
