It is the annual Buy Sophia New Shoes day, and Dorothy is forced to take her. Blanche also tags along, mentioning that it might be fun. Meanwhile, Uncle Angelo drops by and Rose is there. Since she is trying to find a good story to report on, she is more than happy to hear Angelo's story. Apparently, his apartment building is infested with huge bugs. When the ladies watch the news, Rose insists they watch the news story about the bugs. Dorothy then tells Rose she and Stan are the landlords. Rose then tells her she didn't realize there was a family side to the story. She won't give up on the story, and a minute later, the cops show up to arrest Dorothy. They have a trial, and Stan drops his attorney for a younger woman who knows nothing. The defense lawyer is unbeatable by giving compliments to the witnesses which makes them vulnerable to his advantage.

The Golden Girls Audience Reviews

BlazeLime Strong and Moving!
DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Adriana Valenzuela (oonaheartsnonny96) This show demonstrates the perfect blend of comedy, drama, and heart. The comedy element makes me smile and laugh every time, from Rose's St. Olaf stories to Sophia's one liners. Even though the humor doesn't get a huge roar of laughter, you can sense that the writers and the actresses take a lot of time and effort to keep the audience amused. The drama element is also very spot on. Whether its something as super harsh as a character wanting to commit suicide or something as simple as an older person developing Alzheimer's disease. They handle it with a seriousness that also comes across as reassuring that things will turn out OK in the end. The heart element is spot on as well. The four main characters, despite their bickering, definitely care about each other like a real life family would. Overall, if you're looking for a show that combines humor, drama, and heart, grab your friends and watch The Golden Girls.
ComedyFan2010 I watched random episodes now and then but only when I watched all seasons in a row did I realize that it is indeed a very good show.It is about four older women living together and go through issues of love, family and friendship.Well written and beautifully performed by great actresses who all deservingly got Emmys for their performances.What is beautiful about the show is how they manage to bring laughter while also addressing serious issues. And they did a good job doing it with going through anything one can think of. Be it Alzheimers, homosexuality, promiscuity, homelessness, dead husbands or artificial insemination. They do it with such a grace that while one feels and thinks about the topic one is also never down and enjoys the laughter.And it is great that the cast are women over 40. One doesn't get many shows even these days who look at that group of people as normal living being who are not senile and still enjoy life and sex. I wonder if it was hated back in the days the way SATC was by some people a decade ago.
angelicseven All The Golden Girls TV series depicts what would be shockingly unacceptable for viewing audience back in the 50's and 60's and especially not for minors to view. It would not have been shown on TV and have been rated X for adults.. only to be seen at Drive In Theatres. Not only because of adult themes but because of the immoral swearing; which it could of done without for it to be a success. It goes to show behavior principles of right & wrong have been tossed out the window. Whenever I think of this show I'm reminded of a country song that says "slap grandma's mouth", which is what needs to be done with these mature women. As they are nothing like role model grandma's are suppose to be like and seems to encourage disgusting ways that are unacceptable for that age group. Golden years of mature women are suppose to be full of wisdom not more stupidity and certainly not repulsive to where you'd be ashamed of them. If anything, this show depicts through Dorothy, Rose, Blanche and Sophia dirty laundry of grandma's who try to come out looking clean at the expense of degrading each other or other people in ways that the viewing audience never seems to grasp. Instead of dirty old man.. we are seeing dirty old women. The creation of Golden Girls is nothing precious or really entertaining and reveals that there are some elderly women or grandma's who are nothing like we think or expect them to be. Which is a darker side of reality.On a more positive note it does show women at a mature age does and can have a life and just cause you're not around enough to see it, doesn't mean they aren't doing something. Also that some things can be ridiculous to the point of being funny at that age. It did however suggest if the elderly joined together under one household that they could compensate for each other to the point of not having to end up in a nursing home; which is kinda like in a prison. That together, there can be fun & meaningful purposes to live out your life in dignity than disgrace. It's bad that so much of society has bought into evil as the acceptable good.
ShelbyTMItchell Saw the first show as a kid in 1985. As it is a huge hit even today. As it shows four women that are either widowed or divorced. And are friends and roommates!Bea Arthur plays Dorthy who is no-nonsense but has a heart of gold and means well and acts like the straight man or straight woman in the group.Betty White who is hot these days, plays the dim-witted but funny Rose. Who always talks about her small town home in MN.Rue McClanahan plays the woman hungry Blanche. As she changes men from episode to episode it seems every week.Estelle Getty plays Dorthy's mom, Sophia whom Getty in real life, was the same age as the three women. Complete with false teeth and a wig with glasses. Who stole the lines and show from the other three.Sadly except for Betty White, all three women are together now in heaven. But we have the reruns. To always look forward to.That will last for years and years!As Rue played a dim-witted character in "Maude" with Bea. And Betty played a man hungry character Sue in "Mary Tyler Moore." They changed characters in matter of fact, at the last minute to avoid typecasting before the pilot ever hit the airwaves. As Betty was to be Blanche and Rue was to be Rose. Very smart of them to do that.Great show and really funny! After all these years!
