How many episodes of Golden Girls do you watch a week?

Which seasons do you prefer?

Dorothy - short/tight perm seasons?

Dorothy - long/relaxed hair seasons?

None. I’m a bad homosexual.

Why is the person obsessed with Golden Girls?

None. But I don't need to since (a) my upstairs neighbor is an eldergay and every third conversation with him seems to drift to the topic of GOLDEN GIRLS and (b) I visit DATALOUNGE once or twice a week..

I don't think I've seen one entire episode. One of those things you catch pieces of here and there.

Season 2 is my favorite

Twenty episodes a week, how do you find the time to jack off?

Maybe 2 a year.

I don't think I've ever been able to sit through a whole episode. Seems geared to middle-schoolers.

8 eps a week usually. 2 per workout sesh.

I just watched some of the first season. You have to be kidding me with liking this shit. Episodes 1 and 2 are focused on two different weddings in the living room. How many weddings have you hosted in your living room just a week apart? Blanche has two proposals that season, plus an unruly grandson and an unruly niece visit in two different episodes. Rose worries about killing men with her sexual prowess in two different episodes. Rose and Dorothy both learn they've been sleeping with married men in different episodes. The first season of the show and they already used several plots multiple times. This tells me they counted on their audience having dementia.

I keep it on a continuous loop on Hulu

I've been hitting "Three's Company" pretty hard lately, but I DID manage to fit in the episode where Blanche's granddaughter is entered in the beauty pageant.

I have been binge watching for the past week. Currently on 6.8, the one where Sophia joins the convent.

Here's a brand new episode of the Hollywood and Levine podcast where Ken interview Jim Vallely who spent 4 seasons writing for The Golden Girls. He has some good stories and also reports it was a "no drama" set.

I recently introduced my partner to it and he’s amazed at how funny it is. I watch many episodes a week. In fact, when we moved to remote work, I often put it on on my iPad during part of 7-10 am on hallmark to half pay attention to.

(Tried to find it today and hallmark is running Reba!)

Zero, Zip, Nada, Zilch, 0, Nil, Love. Not one episode in first run or syndication. It’s great that the absence of doing something can be an achievement.

No more than 21 per week. Otherwise, I don't have time to focus on my cup of Postum or on trying to convince Grindr cocks that I really do pass for 29.

None. I watched a few episodes way back when and decided that the only character I could even tolerate was Dorothy. The other three I wanted to strangle. I visualized an episode where Dorothy murdered the others, buried them in the garden, and lived happily ever after.

I put it on when I am heading to sleep, so I probably watch 1-2 episodes a night while drifting off with humor.

I always be sure, no matter where I am in the cycle, to be sure that Doro-shee is not queued to autoplay and guarantee me nightmares.

Yes, The Golden Girls was constantly #1 with the 8-16 year old age bracket. Brandon Tartikoff came up with the idea observing his daughter and her friends. Research showed middle schoolers stopped buying flavored chapstick and started buying Ben Gay thanks to the show.

I love Golden Girls but ugh the picture quality of it on Amazon Prime is terrible! I think part of it is that my 4K TV tries to upscale it to HD and it looks terrible (like poor youtube quality).

Zero

There is too much television to watch - I'll never get it all DONE!

R23 The poor picture quality on streaming services is a mix of modern TV's trying to upscale and poor quality source material.

So, The Golden Girls (as with many multi-camera sitcoms during the 80s) was shot on tape (Beta to precise) rather than film and video tape cannot be re-scanned into HD like film because the picture quality is too low. Trying to upscale video into HD through AI up-scaling programs often makes the picture quality worse because video is interlaced and upscaling it makes look more digitized. That being said, it's possible to go back to the original videos and clean the image quality somewhat but it will never be close to HD and it's probably more money than Disney wants to spend on GGs despite it's continued popularity.

Has anyone here seen all the seasons and all the episodes? I only have seen the few they always repeat on hallmark. I also noticed they initially had a gay cleaner in the home? Wonder what happened to that character?

R27 The original plan for the Golden Girls was that Dorothy, Rose and Blanche would be the core three (as it was for the show's whole run), Coco (the gay cook) would be a supporting character and Sophia would be a reoccurring character not a lead. Apparently, she was never meant to live with the girls, she would just be a regular visitor. However when they shot the pilot, Sophia was such a hit with the studio audience she was upgraded to regular character immediately. They had to flesh out Sophia's character and they decided she'd be a great cook which made Coco redundant. Even if they didn't make Sophia a cook, it was clear that show would work better with four leads not five. Once the series was picked up, most of Coco's scenes were cut out (some scenes that originally had Coco in them were re-shot and his lines given to another one of the ladies).
