Idk, I'd say it's canon-canon. There's lots of little references to Sophia and her family being involved with the mafia/mafia-like activities throughout the series.
Fun fact: In some kind of throwback tv special I saw on RU-vid, it was revealed that that calendar Blanche gave the girls actually had actual spicy pictures in them of actual crew members of the show. Crew members in their underwear in suggestive poses, performing suggestive acts, you name it. The special also included footage of the actresses reacting to the calendar. As you can imagine, they were laughing their lungs out.
My favorite episode of The Golden Girls is “Mrs. George Devereaux,” S6E9. It successfully pulls off the “it was all a dream” trope with a satisfying conclusion. I’d love to hear your opinion on that episode and that cliche. Keep up the great work!
Fun fact: Those calendars actually had pictures of the crew members in sexy Santa outfits. If you look for making of specials for the show, you can probably come across footage of them laughing hysterically at them.
I love the Golden Girls reviews, and I had a feeling I'd see one this holiday season. You also picked the particular absurdist one I hoped you would! Thanks again for providing these great nostalgic TV reviews.
My favorite part of this episode of the Golden Girls was the prank the male crew members played on the girls by posing as the sexy male calendar models.
Please review “A Little Romance” It’s one of my all-time favorite episodes and I think Blanche has some of her funniest lines here. Also the actor who plays Jonathan is amazing and I wish he was in the series more then just one episode.
My personal favorite Golden Girls episode is "Til Death Do We Volley" It's a bit outlandish, but all 4 of the cast get some great lines that are so perfect for their characters.
Believe it from me, the best Family is the one you choose and which chooses you. I am not related to any of my Family members, yet we hold together unlike other "real" families.
Thank you! One of my favorite episodes is "Home Again Rose" where Rose has a dream: Three of them are cryogenic frozen, but only their heads. Sophia is the only one with a full body. Bit cheesy especially with definitions of family. . . .
I would love to see you tackle the episode Old Friends where Sophia befriends a man with dementia. I think it shows a more caring and compassionate side to her that we don't normally see. When we think of Sophia, we think of the tough as nails Italian grandma that wouldn't hesitate to put a Sicilian curse on you. That episode always tugs at my heartstrings because it makes Sophia see that she could be in a lot worse circumstances as she grows older. I absolutely love when you do these episodes. Keep them coming in the future and have yourself a very Merry Holiday!
Step Into Christmas, that is some amazing taste Roses! When I was little I used to listen to my mom's Christmas music CD with headphones on throughout the holiday seasons, and this specific song would get a ton of repeats, to the point I would often fall asleep to it. Definitely my favorite holiday song!
I so want one of those hearts!! Are you selling them? Great episode too! I can't seem to find the spirit this year, but Golden Girls will help I think!
With your comment about "home for the holidays", an episode of Frasier came to mind. Season 1, episode 12: Miracle on Third or Fourth Street. I think it's fantastic, but I am also a Frasier fanatic. Somewhat unrelated, Sophia reminds me of Granny from the Beverly Hillbillies.
Please do more Golden Girls. When I was a younger man I watched this show with a girlfriend all the time and I loved it so much. It's very nice to hear a good take on it from somebody else's POV.
In having a very hard time finding a therapist in my area who’s taking new patients. I’m feeling awfully discouraged but your videos do help put a smile on my face.
I need to watch more episodes of the Monkees. If you ever have the ability to do it, the fractured fairytales episode where Mike dresses up as the princess is one of my favorites. And I I love certain lines from them. There’s also one with her in a haunted house and Peter’s finger is loaded. I may just personally adore the Monkees.
Omg how do you take so long to recommend the right vids youtube?! Smh* Omg great vid and great ep! I watch it every year andthe funniest one is Dorothy saying "this'll(maple syrup spigot) come in alot more handy then the necklace ... the next time I'm lost in the woods with A STACK OF PANCAKES!🥞 🙈🤣🙈🤣
I gotta say I think your channel is my favorite on RU-vid right now. It feels like I'm sitting down with a friend and discussing our favorite episodes from our favorite 80s sitcoms and shows and it's the truly just really wonderful! Thanks for being here Roses. Very glad for you!
SAME for Muppets family Christmas and the Garfield Christmas episode. Both my husband and I have always watched the Garfield episode and then two years ago my childhood fur baby and his grandma past away days apart at the end of November and now it makes us both think of them and tear up to see the scene with the grandma and Garfield sitting in the rocking chair.
My friend in college had all the DVD sets of Golden Girls and would put them on when we were pulling all-nighters working on projects... these videos always bring back those memories. I need to watch the show beginning to end one of these days... Thanks for the great vids!
I NEED one of those gorgeous skulls and Hellraiser hearts in my life! 🤩 Well, I think this episode really lived up to the song, 'I'll Be Home for Christmas,' especially the line, "I'll be home for Christmas, if only in my dreams." xD
Step Into Christmas plays often around Christmas in my area. At least once a day on the one station that will play a Christmas songs for 24 hours straight until December 26th.
This was enjoyable. Thank you. :) My favorite Christmas episodes are those of Married with Children and Moonlighting (It's a Wonderful Job, Twas the Episode Before Christmas). I watch them every year during Christmas and it's not even my religion.
I was recently at a performance of The Golden Gays of New York and they indeed included the gift exchange during the show. That spigot got some... attention, if you get my meaning. Let's just say Blanche really treasured that gift. PS I love your cenobite hearts.
I love Murder She Baked! Maybe it's the baked goods or the blue summery aesthetic of the shop but it's hands down my fave of the Hallmark Original murder movie series!
I've never watched any of the shows you cover on your channel, but I live for your recaps. Thanks for helping me understand more pop culture references with minimal personal effort!
I've been telling people that the only Christmas music I can stand is Ella Fitzgerald's album 'Ella Wishes You A Swinging Christmas', but I forgot that do have a couple of Christmas songs I like - Last Christmas (Wham!) and Christmas Wrapping (The Waitresses, not the cover by the Spice Girls).
Great video! My preferred version of Step Into Christmas is a cover by the Puppini Sisters, which gives it an Andrews Sisters/40s style twist. Also, I tracked down a DVD copy of A Muppet Family Christmas and watched it a couple weeks ago; it was delightful. Thanks for the recommendation!
You turned me on to the Bertram Fiddle games which I promptly got on the Switch as soon as I could, but on the same day I came across a pixel mystery/horror/inventory object puzzle game that just came out on Dec. 6th! It's called Breathing Fear, and while I haven't figured out much of the mystery yet I really liked it for being non-linier, it has no saves so it's all in one go, and the pixel art is so cool! 😍 I'm really into it, more people should check it out!
Thanks! Just getting write a finals today and tomorrow and this made the day. I also enjoy the Murder She Baked shows! When you have time could you do the synopsis and break down for Murder She Baked?
