It wasn't ice cream. It was cheesecake!

This show is what first persuaded me to try cheesecake. I'd always assumed I wouldn't like it.

How wrong I was!! 😋

I loved it, still made me laugh out loud. Could do without the laugh track though.

WheresThatCatGoneNow · 27/04/2020 19:53

Yes! It's just as good as it ever was.

I don't remember the Coco the gay cook, though. How long was he in the show for?

I've a feeling I might have missed the whole of Series One the first time round, back in the 80s!

Still funny! Bea Arthur’s performance is so good! And Betty White’s.

I loved it!

Cocolapew · 27/04/2020 21:34

I think he was only in this episode, I can't believe I remember him. I can barely remember what I go into the kitchen for Confused

Pinkarsedfly · 27/04/2020 21:40

Oh, the actor who played Coco had a horrible end. Wish I hadn’t googled now Sad

Cocolapew · 27/04/2020 21:51
Sad

So glad I've seen this thread! Loved the Golden Girls

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 27/04/2020 21:56

Betty White is older than sliced bread. (I read it on the internet so it must be true. 😂)

I hope it’s not too dated but it is from another era, it’s practically period drama now.

Pinkarsedfly · 27/04/2020 21:57

Sorry to bring the thread down.

It was a ray of sunshine in a crappy day. A proper comfort watch.

Cocolapew · 28/04/2020 13:22

Does anyone remember Empty Nest? It was about the GG neighbour, I think it was shown the same night as them.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 28/04/2020 23:23

I didn’t think I knew Empty Nest but when I googled it I did remember. It was the paediatrician and her had a wisecracking nurse with a very strong southern accent. I loved her. I didn’t realise it was connected to Golden Girls.

Babymamamama · 28/04/2020 23:27

I loved that show first time around. I sometimes watch old episodes on YouTube and I even love the theme tune it somehow takes me back to a different era. All the female leads wonderful in their own way. And so funny.

Wannaflyaway · 28/04/2020 23:34

I'm loving it. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Life was very different back then. I'd give anything to swap places with Blanche, Rose, Dorothy or Sophia right now and live in that lovely house, eat cheesecake and drink ice tea whilst relaxing on a sunlounger in the garden!

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 29/04/2020 11:32

What was it that Blanche called the patio? Was it the lanai or something similar? I lived in a ground floor flat share in Clapham and we used to watch Golden Girls and joke that the tiny concrete yard out the back of our flat was the 'lanai'. Grin

Wannaflyaway · 29/04/2020 12:05

Yes you're right it wasn't really a garden. More a lanai like you say or a veranda.

Dontfuckingsaycheese · 29/04/2020 12:06

I fancy a lanai @BlackAmericanoNoSugar. We have a narrow strip on slabs in our back garden that struggle to even be a patio. It shall henceforth be referred to as the lanai Wink

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 29/04/2020 12:15

Lanai sounds so much more tropical and exotic than patio, doesn't it? Grin

QuiQuaiQuod · 30/04/2020 10:05

LOVE IT! My bestie and me have always called ourselves the golden girls and well end up sharing a plce like them one day-only wish it WAS in Florida!

Love Dorothy and her withering looks and put downs, and Spphias sarcasm.

beguilingeyes · 30/04/2020 10:19

I remember one episode they were on a quiz show. The question was, 'complete the well know saying...better late than...'

'Preganant!' says Blanche...

:)

KellyMarieTunstall2 · 01/05/2020 16:33

I watched this with my Gran when I was a child maybe 9 or 10 and I've watched it this week. The theme tune takes me straight back to that time, when we be snuggled on the sofa on Friday night, I almost had a tear remembering. Anyway it's so funny! Wittily written.

ChicCroissant · 01/05/2020 16:38

I didn't realise it was back on, I'll have to watch it - loved the Golden Girls. Blanche looking out of the window at the rain 'reminds me of my first kiss'
Dorothy 'in the rain Blanche'?
Blanche 'no, in the shower'

Cybill - Dr Dick! Loved Christine B in that!

pigsDOfly · 01/05/2020 17:27

Omg The Golden Girls. Thank you so much for the heads up OP. I loved that programme.

I'm going to set to record it when I finish typing and hope I can watch the one I missed on catch up.

I used to watch it with my 2 DDs and we all loved it. Must let them know too.

I've often wondered why no one has rerun it.

QuiQuaiQuod · 07/05/2020 20:51

LOL! ''You no good at Dizdam game!''

''Go to bed Rose, pray for brains!''

LOve it.

Might buy DVDs when HMV open again!
