needs gay men tag. there's some weird thing in the gay community with the golden girls, similar to the wizard of oz and musicals and shit.
there really should be some study into this phenomenon. it sort of gives ammo to the mother\gay son relationship conspiracy.
Gay men have overpowering sympathy for women trapped in uncomfortable or ill-fitting roles - Judy Garland, Joan Crawford, etc. It makes sense that they would be attracted to a show about a group of sassy ladies trapped in old age.
I am amazed. Specifically, I'm amazed all four Golden Girls didn't turn to dust years ago. Estelle must have angered the other three and thus lost access to the eternal life potion.
What is this hipster bullshit with liking the Golden Girls? It was a shitty sitcom, no different from the dozens of other shitty sitcoms on TV at the time (well, different in that there were better things to watch). What's with people too young to even remember when it originally aired being into it like it's some kind of fucking underground comedy?
faggots with discriminating tastes were into Golden Girls ages before any hipsters claimed it out of "irony." it was a better class of sitcom than anything else out there.
My grandmother was raised in a Sicillian neighborhood, and insisted that Sophia Petrillo was the most perfect possible representation of a little old Sicillian woman.
