From the Faucet

Growing up I used to love the show, "The Golden Girls."  I remember running home to catch the show on Lifetime, which was also coined as Women's Television (oh, brother)  I always related to Rue McClanahan's slutty character, Blanche.  Seemed like while the rest of them were playing bridge she was hooking up with every elderly guy in Miami.  

Now that I am home during most of the day, I have come to realize a couple of flaws of the show. For starters, I think they are trying to butch up Lifetime- now I am not a network executive, but its not working.  People watch programming on the channel to see movies about cheerleaders that kill other cheerleaders and daughters who give birth at 12.  Now on to the actual show...For starters, why is Dorothy always wearing lesbian outfits with boots?  Growing up in South Florida, I can tell you first hand that it is hot and no one woman can own that many jacket-potato sack looking numbers.  Secondly, why is it that no one ever had a health issue on the show- aside from a minor heart thing, they girls were constantly eating cheesecake and italian food.  More importantly, seeing that they didnt have a dining room- shouldnt they at least have four chairs at the kitchen table?

I never did see the series finale of the show, so they will be forever in nightgowns around the table (notice that one is always standing) eating cake in my mind.
