    It's really not a long scene, but it is rather important to the storyline in setting up why Blanche decides she and Jake are not meant for each other.  The place is filthy with bad service, broken tables, etc.  Jake slurps his chowder out of the bowl without a spoon with his elbows on the table and Blanche is disgusted.

    I just saw that scene on YouTube!! I can't believe a scene that crucial to the story was cut out!!! I have been watching reruns since the show ended and now I wonder how many other important scenes have been cut!! Peeves me!!

    It does sound important and still peeved I've never seen it!! I am still watching the girls..Im addicted bad to that show! On TVland they are 35 mins for even more commercials...😡😡😡 Jake was totally one of the beat looking men Blanche ever dated so I never quite got her dumping him other than he wasn't rich and I supppse she was after money.

    It's the "romantic little diner that serves a lot of my recipes" that Jake referenced when Blanche hits on him.  Hulu has all the episodes without any of the edits so the scene can be found there.

    DAMN Lifetime and TVland!!! I knew they did alotta cutting but never knew that much...I!!! I want to see that scene! I have been Golden Girls obsessed since they first started!! All for commercials!😡😡😡

    I've seen Blanche and Jake at the dive bar on Hallmark, but it seems they change up the editing quite often.  

    I wonder why Lifetime gave up this gem?

    I have been watching the reruns since they have been on and can't stop watching, Im a GG addict but I have NEVER seen Blanche and Jake in a dive bar, is that for real or a joke??

    It’s always bothered me how quick the girls were to turn on each other. And Blanche seems to get it the worst. In this episode, in the double exposure where she and Charlie appear to be in bed together, in the politician episode where she is snapped at his home, she is always blamed. Its as if the girls think just because she enjoys sex she must also be a liar and untrustworthy. 

    Although Blanche hating Rose when Clayton lies about sleeping with her is the stupidest. He was divorced, who cares. But really, what sort of man lies like that? And then all is forgiven? Rose and Blanche should have been furious with him.

    I totally agree with that! Just because Clayton didn't like the women Blanche set him up with, so what if he had actually slept with Rose! They were teo unmarried adults!

    Whenever a Rose story was on, I would mostly skip it—she works better as a B plot or when she inserted side puns. I generally avoid the boring Rose and Miles storylines. 

    The worst of Rose’s storylines was when she was dating Mr. Terrific. It was a bad episode  and we’re subjected to this out of shape paunchy old guy wearing a spandex superhero suit. He looked mental running around in that. 

    I hate that episode as well. He was far far from a superhero and pretty damn ugly as well!!!

    It's always odd when they don't believe each other when they're trying to tell one another about someone.

    Blanche and Dorothy didn't want to believe Holly was a terrible person just because Holly was being nice to them and refuse to believe that Holly would treat Rose like crap even though there was clear signs that Holly wasn't being nice to Rose.

    Dorothy didn't want to believe Rose & Blanche when they tried telling her that Stan was using her after his heart surgery. Dorothy didn't want to believe Rose & Blanche when they tried telling her about snooty Barbara Thorndyke.

    It's like they didn't want to believe it until last minute or think that one of them is jealous or trying to sabotage friendships/relationships in some way.

    I agree and that makes it seem impossible they lived together for so long and at times said they felt like family. I think the attacking each other just made for more storylines.

    The Triangle was on last night, and I'd forgotten just how awful Dorothy is in it.  I absolutely cannot stand when women are told by a friend that the guy they're dating is a louse and believe the guy over the friend (especially when they're just newly dating).  So that alone would have aggravated me, but been a typical sitcom plot.  But she turns absolutely vicious on a dime.

    Yes, Blanche came onto him when she first saw him - as Blanche does - but when Dorothy did the "I saw him first" routine (how old are we, ladies?), she said okay, fair is fair, just let her know if he has a friend who makes house calls.  And, yes, this is very early in the series and I don't remember how long they'd been living together when the show opened, but whatever the length of time, Blanche is her friend and this guy is someone she has been dating A WEEK.

    Dorothy thinking Blanche is jealous that a handsome doctor didn't fall at her feet, but instead drooled a little and then continued dating Dorothy is natural, given the characters.  But thinking Blanche lied about him making a pass - especially when she was so uncomfortable saying it, something she waited up to tell her, not something she snapped off like an insult in the middle of an argument or anything - and saying it's because she's "a slut ... an amoral, back-backstabbing, self-centered Jezebel"?!  We'd have been done right then and there.  (Blanche would laugh at the same exact words in another context, but the way they were hurled at her here, no.)

    When Dorothy confronted him about Blanche's accusation, he lied, she believed him, and Blanche said she'd been a very good friend to Dorothy and she won't stand for her taking some stranger's word over hers in her own house, so get out, I disturbed the cat by cheering - and then groaning because I knew it would soon all be swept under the rug.  She apologizes for not believing her, as she damn well should, but all the rest just gets a "there's no excuse for my behavior" and the next thing you know there's a group hug.

    When those chicks were horny nothing was going go get them to believe the man they were with was in the wrong!! But yes, they made up awfully fast but it's a 20 minute sitcome! 🙂

    Blanche also got the fat jokes, which also made no sense.

    Those fat jokes bothered me too!! In the first few seasons she was very slim and in the end was only a bit heavier and nowhere near fat!

    When the show first aired, I thought Sophia was hilarious. Now when I watch the repeats, I see just how cruel that woman was, especially to the only child who would take her in! There was a telling line from one of the episodes that went something like, "maybe the paperboy is right- maybe I am a mean old lady"...

    And if Gloria did have a ton of money (before she lost everything), why didn't she pay for a place better than Shady Pines? And when Sophia moved in with Dorothy, why did Dorothy have to scrimp & save to help her out? What's wrong with Gloria???

    I think the whole Shady Pines being horrible was just a joke on Sophia's part, especially about being put in a home. Although she did often call Gloria her GOOD daughter and that was a bit over the top!

    And then there was Candy, the "flight hostess" when the girls were going to Rose's aunt's funeral in the bahamas.  Hubba hubba!

    She was funny but what did she say she lost? I could never make that out other than she said it fell off the beverage cart! I loved that episode!!

    I just assumed Blanche had dated extensively in the precinct, rather like she did with the hospitals in the area (argument against Rebecca having her baby in Miami.)

    That so annoyed me that supposedly Blanche dated EVERY available doctor in EVERY hospital in the area! Not even close to possible for someone that truley was gorgeous! There were alot if stupid things said at times!!

    I think I'm over this show. Every episode has become the same: a kid(s) being a complete jerk to one or both parents, hurting the mom's feelings and Bev forgiving at the end. Throw in Erica's subpar singing and that is the show every single week. I feel like this has been going on for the last two seasons, at least.  At this point, the only part I look forward to is seeing the original footage at the end.

    So Im not the only one that thinks that Erica is barely a singer...well honestly I cringe when she sings but yet she is supposedly a singer in real life??

  9. Yes and the real Adam said his family was yelling all the time but still makes for annoying tv at times. They made the oldest son into Erica so they could tone the yelling down to make for better tv.

  10. Beverly is actually my favorite on the show!! Her heart is endless for her kids and she will do anything no matter how crazy for them!! Yes she screams like the rest do..but its not as annoying to me as the kids or Murrays screams.  I do qish they would tone down the yelling!

    I feel like Kevin James can play exactly one character. Himself. This was like King of Queens, different wife, different job, kids instead of Arthur, different gang of guys hanging around all the time. If this was 2006, I think this might have been decent. However, TV has really advanced in the 10 years he was last on the air and I think expectations are very different. This was so old school, not in a retro, snarky, wistful, skillful way, just old and stale. Either way, I know for sure Kevin James is the one laughing all the way to the bank while I sit here writing this comment! lol.

    Totally agree!!! I only made it theough half of one show and that was it, show sucked!!!

    There's something about her eyes that makes it almost impossible for me to focus on what she is saying.

     

    I keep looking and looking and I can't figure out what is bugging me....

    I feel the same, I think she's slighty cockeyed. Her eyes don't seem to focus on who or what she's looking at.

  13. I watch it on TVLND. It is on middle of the nite but I keep weird hours..lol Also there is a mini marathon of them on Sunday mornings. The one episode I found weird was qhen Christine had to break up with yummy Mr.Harris because she was too busy to have time for him. Like seriously...she has three other people helping take care of Richie and barely works!!! She never was too busy for her other boyfriends!

    Terrible show.  I watched maybe 4 episodes and ditched it.  I would love to see Joy Nast snapped up for a juicy roll in something or a movie.  I like her!  

    Same with me. Previews looked good but watching the show was painful!
