Possibly the greatest GG lines ever?:
At a nude hotel... in lobby while checking in... Nude man holding two pieces of luggage on each side of him walks in: "Excuse me... where would you like me to put this?" Blanche: OOOhhhh!!! Buy me a drink and we'll talk! Dorothy: Blanche! Blanche: I'm sorry... um just hold on to it... uh... them...the bags... Rose: (Studies him carefully) Where do you put your tips?!?!? |

The diminutive actress spent 40 years struggling for success before landing the role of a lifetime in 1985, playing the sarcastic octogenarian Sophia on "The Golden Girls." |

It's odd. I came into my home office and turned on my computer... then turned on the TV and put it on GG. It's the episode where Sophia moves out of
the house. I was just laughing at Sophia and then I bring up the Yahoo home page and see that she passed away...
Rest In Peace Golden Girl |

I was so sad when my husband told me he had heard this on the radio (partially because I wasn't the first to know, dammit, no one scoops me in my family...that's what reading ten blogs a day does to you).
Sniff. She's always be Mrs. Timkin in Mannequin to me. |

I manage to live 80, 81 years. I've had pneumonia, two operations, a stroke. One morning I'll belch and Stable Mable here will blow my head off.
Favorite Sophia line |

From 12-5PM (ET/PT), Lifetime will air 10 episodes showcasing "Sophia" in all her blustering, sarcastic splendor, beginning with the show's pilot. The last episode at 4:30PM (ET/PT) will be the #1 favorite "Sophia episode" as decided through a vote of her legion of devoted fans at myLifetime.com.I wonder what the favorite Sophia episode will be. Here are the choices: Descriptions of Each Episode"It's a Miserable Life"
For Sophia's birthday, Dorothy flies in her sister, Angela, from Sicily as a surprise. The trick soon becomes how to keep Sophia's surprise a surprise as she pulls out every trick in the book to find out. However, Dorothy's the one who's surprised when Sophia's reaction is that of disgust. "Old Friends" Sophia meets an old black man on the boardwalk and becomes quick friends with him. However, his strange behavior signals that he has a medical condition, Alzheimer's disease. Meanwhile, Blanche accidentally gives away Rose's teddy bear at a garage sale. "My Brother, My Father" Sophia's brother, Angelo, a priest, is coming to Miami for a visit and he doesn't know Dorothy and Stan are divorced. So in order to spare his feelings, Sophia convinces Dorothy and Stan to pretend to be married. Meanwhile, Rose and Blanche prepare to star in a play, "The Sound of Music." "Old Boyfriends" Sophia goes out with Marvin, a man she met through the personals, who likes moonlit nights and romantic Italian dinners and remembers when Sinatra was skinny. Marvin arrives for their date with his sister, Sarah, in tow. Due to his poor eyesight, his sibling drives him about. Wanting to be alone with Marvin after several dates, Sophia invites him to the house, where she instigates some hanky-panky. Uncomfortable, Marvin blurts out that Sarah isn't his sister, she's his wife! Meanwhile, Rose gets a visit from Thor Anderson of St. Olaf, who has been smitten with her since high school, but she doesn't remember him at all. Of those, my sentimental favorite would be "Old Friends." I would say "Not Another Monday" but that's not a choice.

Ha, totally forgot she was in Mannequin. Loved her in that.

It said 10 episodes will air, and you listed 5 so maybe that "Not Another Monday" will air?
I really need to buy all the DVDs. Is the whole series now available? I have $100 gift certificate credit at amazon.com, and a $50 Best Buy gift card. I should use them for this. |
