Blanche: Mel makes me feel young and beautiful and special. When we’re together we laugh a lot.
Sophia: Why wouldn’t you? You’re both naked.
Dorothy: Wait. Blanche, why should you do it?
Blanche: Because we'll have a better chance. I happen to be a wonderful orator. And two of the commissioners can verify that.
Dorothy: Blanche, "orator" means "speaker".
Blanche: Really? Oh. Well, somebody else do the talking.
Question- let's say orator is an innuendo suggesting something sexual, why would Blanche think it's appropriate at a neighbourhood meeting?

I'm sure this has been mentioned 100s of times, but in the episode where uncle Angelo first turns up, Dorothy says Michael is a successful musician playing with the Boston Philharmonic. A few episodes later when we meet Lorraine, Michael is playing in a band where he met Lorraine.... I guess he could have changed jobs...

Does anyone else find it strange that Rose would find the name Søren Kierkegaard so bizarre and hilarious? It's a Scandinavian name, and he sounds like he could be someone from her St. Olaf stories.
This is one of my favourite scenes ever. I just love this joke. It's very clever I think because over many episodes over 7 years they build up this thing with the silly St Olaf names, and then flip it. I just love it.

The whole how Dorothy and especially Stan end up in Miami is not clear, so maybe the house was in NYC. At first Stan is in a hotel visiting from Hawaii and then stays in Miami?

Whenever I see or hear reference to a mantel, I think of that line. It's really not even very funny on paper, but the delivery makes it art.
Totally
At least this competitiveness is consistent throughout the show, which in itself is quite remarkable.

Considering how much Blanche slept around, her being with a traveling salesmen named Chuck at one point doesn't mean much of anything. The only thing suggesting that Chuck was Charlie was the fake photo.
And Blanche doesn't get much sympathy from me, because she had clearly cheated on George during World War II with her coworker from the factory who was an excellent lover, er, riveter.
Surely when Rose and Charlie were married so were Blanche and George, meaning that no matter who that Chuck was, she still cheated on George? Or did George die much before Charlie? Because I'm not sure that makes sense...

Random, but I always mean to do this whenever I catch the episode where everyone keeps saying Dorothy looks like Fess Parker. I finally googled him because I had no clue who he was. After seeing his pictures...I can totally see the resemblance, lol.
I did the same recently, was curious who he was, and finally looked him up. I too see the resemblance.

I was curious when watching the moonlight madness party episode about how often a full moon occurs on 29 Feb (I assume that's what they mean by leap year here). Coz I wondered wouldn't have Sophia had to worry about the curse over Dorothy's 60+ years. But actually after a bit of research online it seems this does only occur every 76 or more years... (even though in reality it happened last in 1972), so it might have been a fluke, but it kinda makes sense.

The episode where Dorothy falls for Father Leahey...
The thing I find oddest is that he says to her something like "I have something I want to talk about, I'm thinking of leaving the church "...
But doesn't say another 5 words "... to be a teaching priest" - why wouldn't he complete the sentence and be clear?

Rose tells the girls she gets hot at weddings because on her wedding night she and Charlie had the most passionate night. But I'm sure that in another episode she tells them how the first night with Charlie was weird and uncomfortable.

In the episode where Charmaine visits and Blanche thinks she inspired the book, Dorothy tells the story of a fight as a child with her sister, Gloria: Dorothy bit Gloria, and Sophia says that Gloria is the one who needed the rabies shot... But why would Dorothy have rabies that she could pass to her sister??

If it's meant to be a joke about Hitler secretly going into hiding after the war...but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the alleged timing.
Actually that could work I think. In season 1 rose is 55, means she was born in 1930 and graduated (or not) in 1948, giving Hitler 3 years to get to St Olaf and change his name. However the nefarious plot only makes sense before the war.

The episode where Rose and Miles get together after meeting at dancing and she goes to his party with the other college professors. When he tells her that he's a college professor she's surprised, and he says "What did you think I meant when I said I taught Hemingway?" And she says "I thought you were old". I like the joke but it doesn't make sense really. Miles would have said "I'm Miles, I teach Hemingway", which spoils the joke because there's no way to misunderstand it...

The episode when Clayton comes out, and Blanche finds him in the gay bar. But that bar was visited before even by Blanche herself. Why she would think a bar playing sports on TV is a gay bar also puzzles me...

There was the roof episode where Blanche should have paid for a new roof but shouldn't Blanche have also paid for the installation of the new toilet that Dorothy and Rose partnered up to fix?
We don't know she didn't contribute. I actually think that only Blanche should have paid as only she owns the house, until they all own part of it later down the line.

Rose posing as Korean ....
Look what you've done! You've upset Kim Fing Toi is one of my favourite moments ever on the GG. It's excellent Dorothy sarcasm (maybe about how stupid the others are who didn't "spot" she isn't Korean).

The episode where Rose gets Baby the pig, she says her uncle died leaving her his baby. Her uncle (Hinglblotter) must be at least 70-something, and no-one queries how he has a young baby, or where the mother is in all this?

The episode where Sophia thinks she is having a hard attack but it’s just overeating. There is a big storm, trees and power lines are down, the paramedics can’t get through. The girls are in the kitchen discussing food (of course). It’s dark out and the wind is still blowing the trees. They decide to go for a walk. In a storm with trees and power lines down.
They also had guests over for dinner, on a stormy night?

Blanche was extremely pleased when she thought she turned a guy when she thought she was in a gay bar with Clayton... The same bar she has been to a number of times ...

Watching the episode where Virginia asks Blanche for a kidney, and it made me think that Blanche doesn't get on with her sisters or her kids. It seems to me she was not very good at maintaining relationships. She does get on well with her brother Clayton though, though at first her reaction to his coming out could have seriously damaged their relationship.
And at the end of the episode she says she and Virginia are now good friends again, she finally has a sister.... but next time we see Virginia at Big Daddy's funeral she's so angry with Blanche. Weird.

For the first time in ages the Girls are on the TV here in the UK. Although I have it all on DVD, it's still nice seeing them getting the recognition they deserve.

I just watched the Kim Fung Toi episode, where Rose refuses to see a doctor, because people from St. Olaf are hearty farm-folk who never, ever see doctors.
Except the one who's been prescribing her opiates for decades!
She also once says they don't believe in therapy/psychology in St Olaf, but works extra to help the people at the counselling centre where she works, even after being fired.

It was ok-ish until the cringeworthy end when St Olivia said, You know what happens when your house burns down? You get a clear view of the sky. Cringe.
Not if you burn with it you don't. And if you're outside already then you have a clear view of the sky and don't need your house to burn....

Continuity Errors: Starts With the House Layout and Just Gets Worse
in The Golden Girls
Truby says she likes her exes old and rich, and has had 3 exes, so why does she need to rent a room....
