    D is for Dan, of “Dan and Morothy” 

    We  were just talking about Dan and Morothy the other day, and decided they would be code names for a couple we know... 

    E is for Elvis and his pork chop

  2. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Rose's good intentions led to conflict with her mom and both daughters. I think that was the point of those episodes. 

    Still Kirsten was a b*tch to her mother, being ashamed of her, and she should have apologised too (if not only). But your point that Rose set herself up for this conflict is a good one.

  3. Absolutely. They were all too happy about Stan being back in Dorothy's life. But I guess once Dorothy made her mind up to see and marry Stan they could either be supportive or disapproving, and really the choice is Dorothy's and the best friends just wanted to be supportive. At least she didn't make the same mistake again.

    I've always assumed that when they threw that party, they knew the month and day of Blanche's birth, but not the year. That's the information she really went out of her way to hide!

    That's a possibility, but there's also an episode where they say something like at this time of year Blanche always behaves strangely, and then they conclude it's her birthday, so they didn't know what time of year it was, let alone the year... 

    I'm confused. 

  5. In the episode when they are reminiscing about birthday parties (Mr Haha's Hacienda, Rose tells dead Charlie she's leaving St Olaf, and Sophia is 50 and not 48) the girls know Blanche's birthday date from the time shortly after they live together, coz they throw her a party which upsets her till she sees how many men were invited. But I'm sure later in their lives together they desperately try to find out her birthday and find her birth certificate was redacted by the authority of the governor.

  6. Maybe not continuity, but time related: We're watching the episode in which Rose is Blanche's vigenfrügen because she lost her earnings and Dorothy submits her student's story which wins 1st prize and he gets deported. On the same day that Rose offers to be a vigenfrügen for a full week, Dorothy submits the story. During the same week, because the vigenfrügen is still going on, Mario's story is judged and wins, and the INS come looking for him. Surely submitting a story, waiting for the panel to judge the stories, declare a winner and waiting for the INS to do their thing would take a lot more than a few days...

    She managed to have a wild time with Pablo Picasso before settling down? Even though she met Sal at 17.

    I'm sure there are other stories I'm forgetting. I guess we can pretend most of them are her colorful tall tales.

    I just love Dorothy's response to the Picasso story: I think you're lying, (Rose to Dorothy: be positive!) so Dorothy says, OK, I'm positive you're lying! 

    And the Charles de Gaulle / the Mole cracks me up too. 

    Sophia had definitely been around the block a number of times before marrying Sal. Or she's just a liar...

  8. I saw Betty for the first time as Sue Ann Nivens on the Mary Tyler Moore Show (for which she's well known, but not to me until recently) and in her first episode (4x1) she has an affair with Lars Lindstrom. I suppose that in Minnesota that's not a very unusual name (?), but I wonder if it had anything to do with Rose being a Lindstrom (not a Nylund - despite that awful glitch where she says the Nylunds are her adoptive parents...)?
