Maybe it's because I've been staying home doing homework for the past week or so (grad school finals -- ugh) but suddenly, Lifetime is seeming like such a great channel and my love of the Golden Girls has surged! Anyone else?
Absolutely! i loved them first time around - I'm so old I got to see them in primetime. But seriously, watching them again makes me realize how risque some of it is & that Sophia just cracks me up.
ETA: I designing women too. But mostly when delta was on...

My BF and I love it!!! We used to Tivo all the episodes on Lifetime, but now that we've seen every single one at least twice, we're taking a break. I the Golden Girls!
I used to watch them in high school, and then recently got back into them! They had a marathon recently in honor of their 20th anniversary. Laken, I know what you mean -- I can't believe how risque they are!
I made my husband to watch it a few weeks ago and when I started refering to bea arthur's character using "her" and "she" he didn't know who I was talking about. He thought she was a man.
Oh, man do I ever!!! I watched GGs the first time they were on tv. That's how I learned what impotence was. I watched an ep. where Rose's boyfriend or date was impotent and I didn't get it. So then I went and asked my mom what it meant. She said, "oh, it's like when someone isn't able to do something. Why? Where'd you hear it?" I told her on Golden Girls and she said "Oh. It means when someone can't have sex." Hee!
I'm even making a shirt for my friend (also a Golden Girl lover) for xmas that has a pic of Rose's face on it and it says "I'm a Rose." I think it's hilarious!
And did I mention I watch it every single morning while I'm getting ready for work? Yes I do. Btw, I'm totally a Dorothy. Even though last year I was Blanche for Halloween.
I love the girls! I loved them the first time around (even though I didn't understand half the jokes) and I watch reruns all the time.
My friends and I refer to them as the girls - a typical conversation is, "What did you do last night after you left the bar? - Oh, just went home and watched the girls."
I love this show. The season two and three DVD's are on my Christmas list. I already have season one. When I was in college (my freshman year), my roommates (there were four of us) and I used to watch it all the time, instead of going to class. And we each referred to ourselves as one of them. I was, ahem...Blanche. But I'm not as, uh, loose as she is. I think I have a bit more control than that.
I like watching this show as well. I remember watching it when I was much younger. Too funny! And sometimes I can't believe the things they were allowed to say on tv, even for todays tv programs! I don't know if they think it's okay just because they are older woman but always calling Blanche a whore, my goodness!
Booo Grad school finals! I feel your pain!! Golden Girls seems like the correct solution! Thank you for being a frieeeend...They are out on DVD, I wonder if it has bloopers!! I LOVE bloopers!
My senior year of high school, I went to Florida with three of my best friends for a week, and we all picked out which girl we were. Two were really easy to pick: my friend from Atlanta who got a lot of guys was Blanche, and my ditsy friend was Rose, and then it was up in the air between the remaining two. I got to be Sophia because I was older and am also Italian, and tend to be sarcastic.
