Drunk On You

I always found it hilarious that the actress who plays Sophia is actually the youngest of them.

Golden Girls is a great show! That's why it's still shown on TV all the time.

Still funny. A lot of shows become dated -- and, yeah, some of the eps are -- but mostly, the humor is timeless.

And it's a show that ended in a nice way -- love Dorothy's wedding and the telepathy bit.

I hope I'm like them when I'm that age.

Oh, me, too! That's one of the reasons I love that show -- 'cause it shows women older than *gasp* 30 (and 40, and 50) being vibrant and sexy and LIVING -- not in an old-age home. Even SOPHIA got action!

It's too bad that TV doesn't really respect actresses older than 30. Though with the whole "cougar" phenomenon that's change a little. But still...

I'm loving seeing Betty everywhere lately!

MistyMountainHop

Me, too! She's great in anything she does. Even on the game shows she used to be on in the '70s! (Game Show Network -- yay).

I can't wait to see her on SNL.

I remember watching Betty on Chelesa Lately and I couldn't stop laughing. She's too funny.

Just watched Betty White on Oprah. Her mind is so spry! -- at 88! Love it! Wanna be like that in 60 years.

Rue McClanahan, who played Blanche, has passed away after suffering a major stroke. She was 76 years old. She had a minor one earlier this year too after having bypass surgery. Rest In Peace, Rue.

That's so sad. I loved her.

It's very sad. Betty White was just on a talk show a few weeks ago saying she was doing better and how happy she was to hear it.

So sad Rue died.

RIP Rue. This hurts my heart. She was my fave Golden Girl. Now there's only one left.

They say she suffered a brain hemorrhage after the stroke.
