Jane Lynch Reveals Netflix Show with Cyndi Lauper
Lynch revealed that, in the show, "We're our age, I'm almost 60, she's 65, and we're looking for our next act without having had husbands or children. There will be two other folks in it who haven't been cast yet. It's kind of a 'Golden Girls' for today."
So what do you think? And who should be cast in the other two roles?

No one. If these two cunts are in it, I'm already out.

Why does Cyndi still sound like a four year old? You know she sounds like Bea Author when she's at home.

One of the old bags from SATC.

Grace & Frankie is on their last season so this isn't a shock they'd try and find something similar to replace it with but it almost seems like it would end up being the same kind of show anyway with this dynamic.

Jane Lynch always plays Jane Lynch. Has she ever played an actual character?

How about Kate Jackson and Diahann Carroll taking the other two parts?

R6 isn’t that persona a pretty decent successor to the Bea Arthur character on GG?
Interesting that the original GGs were 10 years younger than this new iteration.

Yeah, I would imagine Jane's character would be the Dorothy of the group with Cyndi maybe as the Rose (I can't imagine her as the Blanche type).

Terri Hatcher and the fat blonde one from that awful Amy Poehler movie about Napa.

Let Mo do the character from Absolutely Fabulous when she was a televangelist.

They should have gotten Jennifer Coolidge instead of Cyndi.
Cyndi just isn't likable.

Cyndi is older? Yes of course she is. But she's always young to me.

Mo and Kathy Nijimy! Time for a Kathy & Mo reunion. Wonder if they still talk.

R21, IIRC, that was for her appearance on “Mad About You.”

When the Golden Girls premiered, Rue was the youngest at 51 and Betty was the oldest at 63.
The actresses for a new Golden Girls, if they were in the same age range, would go from Parker Posey and Naomi Watts to Geena Davis and Gillian Anderson.
Pretty weird, huh?

Cyndi will be a Pheobe like character from friends more than a Rose from GG.

I agree that Jane Lynch always plays the part of Jane Lynch. You've seen her in something, you've seen her in everything.

The same could be said for Bea. Bea played Bea in everything she did.

Just realized Cyndi just need an Oscar to complete her EGOT. But looks like it’s not a priority for her or she could just write an Oscar-worthy song.

Lynch is such a one note performer, you can watch her in several different projects and think that they are all the same thing.

Remember that hilarious episode of Queer As Folk when Cyndi almost got blown up performing in a gay bar by some homophobic Christian terrorist?

It IS weird r24. Kim Cattrall, Geena Davis, Michelle Pfeiffer and Sharon Stone are all currently around the same age that Betty White, Bea Arthur and Estelle Getty were during the first season or two of GG. Gillian Anderson and Nicole Kidman are around the same age Rue was. Kind of mind-blowing when you think about how youthful they still look compared to actresses from back then.

Cause actresses now put more effort into it. Also were the golden girls actresses ever considered typical beauties? Betty White looked her age back then. Now actresses try to look at least 15 years younger.

It's weird to think how the SATC ladies are already pretty much old enough to be The Golden Girls now.

I think Rue look young and her age in the first season. Especially when she was slimmer.

I'll check it out, I love Cyndi, and she was hilarious in her guest role on Mad About You in the 90s. She was good in Life with Mikey, as well.
Vibes was a terrible movie, but frequently when I go to the movies I tell people, "Do you know how hard it is to buy Goobers when you're outta your body?"

Jane Lynch was a guest host on The Talk yesterday. Her personality is nothing if not off-putting. Her energy was so harsh, I no longer can look at her performances with an open mind or heart.
