Films and TV shows with bitchy, funny women of a certain age?

The Mothers-in-Law

Diana Rigg as Lady Olenna Tyrell, "The Queen of Thorns," from the middle seasons of "Game of Thrones" is probably my favorite of all.

Dorothy Zbornak on Golden Girls, of course.

Catherine O'Hara on "Schitt's Creek," though when she's bitchy it's usually because she is exasperated and just can't help herself--she usually tries to be a very good (if bizarre and self-involved) person

Devil Wears Prada, natch.

You bitches! How could you forget me?!

Thelma Ritter in pretty much every movie she was in.

Immediately came to mind.

Olympia Dukakis in Moonstruck

Doesn't Christine Baranski own this now? Or is she next up?

Coral Browne as Alice Hargreaves in "Dreamchild"

Miriam Margolyes as Mrs. Manson Mingott in "The Age of Innocence"

Patsy Stone

Jane Lynch on GLEE.

Also, although she exercised her wit only rarely (and always sneakily), Mother (June Whitfield) on "Ab Fab": "Just the one, dear?", "So much more suitable than poor old Patsy!", "Is it all the rage? is it a Vivienne Westwood?"

Eve Arden.

Olympia Dukakis as Clairee in "Steel Magnolias"

"La Calduch" on Merli (Catalan/Spanish TV series)

The original MAPP & LUCIA miniseries with Prunella Scales and Geraldine McEwan.

I feel sure that E.F. Benson would have been a Datalounger.

Pam from “True Blood”

Olympia Dukakis as Anna Madrigal.

Carol Bruce as Mrs. Carlson on WKRP in Cincinnati.

r3 Sophia Petrillo over Dorothy in this category.

Judith Lowry in "Phyllis."

Beatrice Reed Ventnor on Sisters.

[quote] Olympia Dukakis as Anna Madrigal.

Anna Madrigal was funny, but I don't remember her being bitchy very often.

[quote] Coral Browne as Alice Hargreaves in "Dreamchild"

My wife, the actress, Coral Browne.

You bitches are slipping.

R7, Thelma Ritter was wry and dry, but I never thought of her characters as particularly bitchy.

Betty Field as Mrs. Fanny Thurber, the bitchy friend of Mrs. Wandrous (Mildred Dunnock), mother of Gloria (Liz Taylor) in BUtterfield 8.

Gloria Wandrous: I spent the night with Steve's girlfriend, Norma.

Mrs. Wandrous: Ah, isn't that nice! She knows a boy whose girlfriend is that unselfish!

Mrs. Fanny Thurber: That's a girl who won't have a boyfriend long.

Gloria Wandrous: A compliment from you, Mrs. Thurber?

Mrs. Fanny Thurber: I must have said it wrong!

Take your pick.

Holland Taylor, the only good thing about the execrable "Two and a Half Men."

Judy Davis as Hedda Hopper in "Feud."

Sue Ann Nivens.. And Rhoda Morgenstern

Rosalie Aprile (Sopranos, Sharon Angela).

More Rosalie.

“Fuckin’ nosy! Eat your manicott!”

Miranda Otto chilling adventures of sabrina.

Phoebe Tyler Wallingford owned this for decades!

Frasier's agent, Bebe Glazer.

Lesley Joseph- Birds of a Feather. Celia Imrie- After You've Gone. Anne Reid and Maureen Lipman- Ladies of Letters

Marian Waldman as Mrs. Mac in Black Christmas

Aunt Esther on Sanford and Son

Though some may argue with me, I think Leslie Jordan as Beverly Leslie on Will and Grace deserves to be here too.

Emma Buchanan, The 5 Mrs. Buchanans.
