TrininisaScorp July 4, 2017 Share July 4, 2017 You guys. I went to Rue La Rue in NYC. We were on vacation and we went to Washington Heights specifically to go to the café. It was amazing!! I almost cried! There is a ton of Rue's memorabilia, including some outfits and her Emmy, as well as a tons of pics of all the Girls. They also had the wallpaper with the leaves from Blanche's room, the yellow phone from the kitchen, and the bathroom was done in green/pink tile. We bought coffee (each Girl has a type of roast) and I had some of Blanche's orange poppy cake and Rose's Guflaffen cake. It is very small, but the place has a great atmosphere: There are episodes playing in the background and everyone softly began singing the theme song like the dorks we are. I highly recommend it!! 14 Link to comment
BBHN July 4, 2017 Share July 4, 2017 Just for fun, I googled the menu...not sure if the pics are up to date, but it def is a menu that caters to the fans. Definitely not the whole menu, just the better pics I could find... 6 Link to comment
Bastet July 4, 2017 Share July 4, 2017 Those are some crazy low prices, even for lunch. Shouldn't the Stan the Putz sandwich be Stan the Yutz or am I the one remembering it wrong? (I know either would apply, but I have Sophia and Stan's mom in my head saying yutz.) I get a ridiculous laugh out of naming the Caesar salad after George Clooney (in honor - or "honor" - of the haircut he went on to have). 1 Link to comment

qtpye July 9, 2017 Share July 9, 2017 I don't know where to put this, but I was watching and episode of Mama's family where Mama ruins Aunt Fanny's dress. For those who do not know, Rue plays Aunt Frannie and Ellen, who is her niece, is played by Betty. It was a funny episode, but I think it is crazy that some casting director out there actually thought Rue could pass for Bettys' aunt. 6 Link to comment
CityBoy1986 July 11, 2017 Share July 11, 2017 It is kind of silly, but I like to think that they chose Rue because Vicki Lawrence herself was so young. Vicki was born in 1949, so all of her "children" were at least fifteen years older than she was. 5 Link to comment
Miss Chevious January 5, 2018 Share January 5, 2018 Wasn’t sure where to post this but I got the Golden Girls Edition of the Monopoly board game. Some of the properties include The Grief Counseling Center, Max & Sophia’s Pizza & Knish Stand and Blanche’s Bedroom. The two most expensive properties (Park Place and Boardwalk in the regular edition) are Shady Pines and Hollingsworth Manor. The draw cards are entitled Bck in St. Olaf and Picture it Sicily. Anyway, my 7-Year old grandson loves board games and we’ve been playing it all week. He’s staying with me during his Holiday break and we’re just having so much fun with it. So if any of you are thinking about getting this version of Monopoly, I say go for it. You’ll love it! 9 Link to comment

Yep, I agree. Jake was the one who got away, for sure. I would have snapped him up right after I was done with Ken Howard. Hard to choose, hard to choose...... 3 Link to comment
ShadowSixx February 9, 2018 Share February 9, 2018 Family Guy did a parody on Golden Girls that was fun. The wives wondered what their lives would be like if their husbands died. You can fast forward to 0:19 if don't want to see the beginning. 5 Link to comment

TrininisaScorp February 18, 2018 Share February 18, 2018 It is a bit of hike if you are in midtown, but GAWD it was worth it; we just jumped on the train. I told my husband we'd never go to NYC without a visit to Rue LaRue. (We JUST finished the last of our Picture It Italian Roast Sofia coffee, so it made me think of it) I've been insane at work and wanted to treat myself....I bought Golden Girls Forever by Jim Colucci on Amazon. I'm pleased with my purchase...it is a behind the scenes looks at the network development on the sitcom, casting the ladies, and, most impressive, an extensive walkthrough of lots of episodes from the series. It is pieced together by the author's commentary, and filled out with lots of interviews and surveys he did. I got it on Friday and knocked it out by Sat midday. I couldn't put it down. Maybe you guys were already familiar, but I wasn't. 1 Link to comment

schnauzergirl July 31, 2018 Share July 31, 2018 On August 19 PBS is broadcasting "Betty White: First Lady of Television." On my station, it will be repeated on August 21. 1 Link to comment
HoboClayton July 31, 2018 Share July 31, 2018 I just have to throw this in there for those who haven't seen it. Betty was on This Is Your Life back in 1987. It's a very candid look at her, and one of the few times she publicly lets her guard down. I love her, but tired of her interviews years ago, they are always a little too sweet and she tends to repeat the same things over and over again.. I get why she does it, it's her image. I think personally she is much more like Rose when she is competitive, you have to be a shrewd ball buster to make it as long as she has during the time she did. She also participated in a round table discussion with other comedic actresses. She gets pretty blunt in that one. She makes a comment about how actresses should be grateful for what they have and not whine, which Myaim Bialik took personally because she had just told a story about how the business was hard. Myaim handled it great, but the look on her face was like.. Holy shit, did I just get read the business by Betty White?! Anyways, here they are. Also including her Roast. 2 Link to comment
mythoughtis August 1, 2018 Share August 1, 2018 I’ve always found Betty White to be a lot more ‘ naughty’ or bawdy in intreviews than people think she is. She can really throw out one liners on talk shows if she wants. 4 Link to comment

Miss Chevious October 23, 2018 Share October 23, 2018 I went to two Targets today and neither one had the Golden Girls cereal. And that’s where my quest ends. I would’ve liked to try it even though it’s blue (not the most appetizing color for food) but I’m not going to go off the deep end if I can’t get it. Asking exorbitant prices on eBay is just plain crazy. 1 Link to comment
