Blanche: Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to relax in a hot, steamy bath with just enough water to cover my perky bosoms.
Sophia: You're gonna lay in an inch of water?

Dorothy: Blanche its all wrong! The baby doesnt match your shoes.
Goes something like...

Blanche: My first time with Billy. Or was it Bobby? Yes it was Bobby. Or was it Ben. Well it started with a B!
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: There must be homosexuals who date women.
Sophia: Yeah, they're called lesbians.

Thanks for posting that link! It's only 9:30am and I am already having the day from hell at work... But now I'm sitting here laughing my ass off! Course that makes it hard if my phone rings, but yeah... lol THANK YOU!!! :) :)
some of my favorites...
Sophia: There's just something I don't like about him. I can't put my finger on it, but if I did, I'd have to wash it.
Blanche [to her daughter Janet, who doubts God's existence]: Oh honey, of course He exists. Just look at the beautiful sky, the majestic trees. God created man, and gave him a heart, and a mind, and thighs that could crack walnuts.
Blanche: I've never been so humiliated in my life.
Dorothy: What about the time you lost the key to your handcuffs and had to go with that guy on his mail route
If in Heaven you don't excel, you can always party down in hell...

Ok, I got a great plot for the musical.
Sophia died.
Dorothy comes back to stay with Blanche/Rose and help plan her funeral. Dorothy has trouble letting Sophia go, so Sophia's ghost comes and helps her. The end can have a big wedding for Blanche or Rose.
That's too depressing. Sohia can't be dead. I know she was supposed to be pushing 90 years old over a decade ago, but still! I can't bare the thought of it.
LOL I was just watching the episode where Rose tells Mrs. Claxton to drop dead...and she does. It's funny when Rose gets to tell people off. The episode before that was when Blanche turned Rose into her personal slave because she accused Rose of losing her earings. Then Rose found out Blanche lost the earings, and Rose's watch that she borrowed without asking. Rose told her off too!

Gerflugenough! A personal Scandinavian slave!
Woah. I can barely say it, never mind spell it! LOL You're my new idol. hahaha
Just thought I'de mention, in the episode where Mrs. Claxton dies, and the ladies go to the funeral home to make arrangements for her, the funeral director asks if they can have the wake on Thursday, and the 4 of them go crazy because the Cosby show was on that night. LOL Then he asks Blanche if she ever considered planning ahead for her own funeral. She says, "No. But when I die I plan to go out with a big bang." Then Dorothy chimes in with, "And she means that." LOL had me rotflmao.

I LOVE IT WHEN DORORTHY PUTS DOWN BLANCHE:
Blanche: Cooking Dorothy?
Dorothy: No Blanche, I'm developing pictures for the Magellan Space Program

Remember the 2 part episode about Dorothy's mysterious illness.
What was the moral to that? Did someone on the show get treated like **** at the doctor's and wanted to show that each doctor is unique? I never understood the point of it. And Dorothy's illness was forgotten.
Blanche: Ooooh they look like little balls of sunshine. Rose tells me one of your boring St. Olaf stories. They always put me to sleep.
BLanche: I wont even have to use my imagination. My life is a romance novel.
Sophia: Youre life is a sports page

I remember whatever she had caused fatigue.
omg, I don't have time to put any of my fave quotes down, but as a reply to the 'new cast' OMG, I can tottally see that!
I'm also a huge Bebe Neuwirth fan, and I LOVE Dorothy, so I can SO see her as Dorothy! She's got the whole dry-witt thing down.
Anyway... Being nagged at to get off-line, so bye all!
YEAH FOR BEBE!!!

I think they decided that Dorothy had Epstein Bar Virus (which was a popular Yuppie disease in the 1980's).
Remember she also got a hearing aid in one episode.
One of my favorite bits was when Dorothy and Sophia played Sonny & Cher. Bea Arthur had Cher's mannerisms down perfectly.
awe! I SO need to catch that ep next time they re-run it. lol
I also don't recall anyone else playing Stan and I've seen every episode several times (thanks to Lifetime).
My favorite quote:
Blanche: "You know what I hate doing most after a party?"
Rose: "Finding your underwear in the big pile?"
Anyone ever play the Golden Girls Adventure Generator in the Lifetime website? It's like Mad Libs with the Golden Girls. It can be fun. You can find it at WWW.Lifetimetv.com
One of the best GG scenes;
Dorothy to Sophia; Just don't let Blanche find out
Blanche; Don't let me find out what?
Sophia; Barbara is a lesbian
Blanche; So what?
Dorothy; Blanche, you're not shocked?
Blanche; Why should I be? I never knew one personally but, isn't Danny Thomas one?
Then later after it's been explained to Blanche the difference between lesbian and Lebonese;
Dorothy: Well, we better not tell Rose
Blanche; Absolutely not, she couldn't handle it, she's not as worldly and sophisticated about thes ethings as I am
Sophia; You're right Blanche, it would kill her if she ever found out Danny Thomas is a lesbian
I love the Golden Girls. It comes on 6 times a day!!
Dorothy had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (thought to be caused by the Epstein Barr Virus). This remains one of those illnesses where doctors think it's "in your head." The point of the show was basically (I think) to bring to light such diseases. Even though the diagnosis may not be obvious by looking at the person or lab work/xrays/etc., the patient IS indeed suffering and it is not a psychiatric issue.
I don't remember another actor playing Stan?? But there were a lot of "dual" roles. The guy who played Sofia's husband, Sal, also played a Jester at a restaurant Dorothy took her "prom" date to. One of Dorothy's ex-students who started a video game company and offerred Dorothy a job also played one of the 3 guys who hit on the trio when they went on vacation (and got stranded on a desert isle). This actor passed away a few years ago; he was HIV+.
Empty Nest (which I also loved) was a spin off of GG. They introduced the idea on the GG - a different actor played Richard Mulligan's role (Harry). Coincidentally, that actor also played Isaac Newton, Rose's "secret admirer." Harry had a wife on the GG episode. On EN, the wife was deceased. Empty Nest really changed from it's initial start on the Golden Girls.
Golden Girls was so inconsistent that it's funny. The same actors playing different roles, different actors playing the same roles (Rose and Blanche's daughters were played by different actresses), and different versions on certain stories. You got to love that show.
My favorite part had to be the Chicken Little production. My favorite show definately was the last episode.
I clearly have too much time on my hands!

The Golden Girls is the funniest sitcom of all time...in my opinion. The writing on that show is phenomenal. However, I don't really think a broadway show about it would work. Too much wishing for original cast members would ruin it for me. Plus, I can't imagine anyone other than Bea Arthur and Estelle Getty as Dorothy and Sophia.
Broadway Legend Joined: 12/31/69
Oh my gosh Playbill you're right.
I remember that episode when Harry and his wife are having marriage problems. The woman who played his wife is currently on the TV Show OZ. She was in West Side Story too. Shoot me for forgetting her name. She's famous.

LOL How could you forget her name!? OK, now I have "Chita/Rita" stuck in my head!
'I am a versatile actress'
'long as you stay on the matress'
'I can play any role I choose'
'Gypsys, Italians, and black Jews'
aye aye. LOL
The actor who played the violin-playing boxer the girls invested in also played Enrique Maas, the consumer reporter and Rose's boss.
(Correct me if I'm wrong) - but I also think the actress who played Mrs. Claxton (the mean neighbor) also played "Ma #2" in 'Dorothy was switched at birth' episode. Also, the father in that episode, I think also played the Italian man Sophia had remodeling the garage.
Was there a shortage of actors?? This is hilarious!
Also, did any one catch Bea Arthur on Broadway a couple of years ago? She was great.
