Thank You For Being a Friend and Keeping Us Laughing
Like most of you, I was saddened to learn about Rue McClaahan's passing. I don't know anyone who doesn't love this show. Rue played, the over-sexed, self-absorbed, southern belle, Blanche Devereaux, on the "Golden Girls." Here are a few of my fave lines from Blanche....
Rose: "Oh, Blanche, how do you feel about performing in front of a video camera?"
Blanche: "I think it's OK as long as you've already had a least three dates."
Dorthy: "There's a man on our lawn."
Blanche: "Get the net!"
Blanche: "Oh I do love the rain. It reminds me of my first kiss."
Dorthy: "Awww....your first kiss was in the rain."
Blanche: "No, it was in the shower"
Blanche: "I treat my body like a temple."
Sophia: "Yeah, open to everyone, day or night."
Blanche: "There is a fine line between having a good time and being a wanton slut. I know. My toe has been on that line."
Blanche: "What was your first impression of me?"
Rose: "I thought you wore too much makeup and were a slut. I was wrong. You don't wear too much makeup."
Blanche: "Sophia, by placing this pearl necklace between my bosoms, does it make me look like I'm a sex-starved slut who is in need of a man to bed?"
Sophia: "Yes."
Blanche: "Good , then pearl it is."

Relax, Relate, Release...It's Friday
In the words and southern drawl of Whitley Gilbert from A Different World, 'relax, relate, release'- it's Friday! My all time favorite sitcoms were birthed in the 80's-The Cosby Show, A Different World and Golden Girls. As the ol' folks say, 'they just don't make um like they use too.' NBC was the place to be....Thursday night was Cosby at 8 and A Different World at 8:30. Saturday night was Golden Girls.A Different World was the first and maybe the only sitcom that highlighted student life at a historically black college- Hillman. Remember The Pit?? The show also tackled political and social issues that were rarely discussed on other comedy sitcoms- AIDS, rape, race, social classes, etc. It's so hard to pick a favorite episode because they all were so good. The show was embedded with culture, fashion, history, music and a message!
All 6 seasons of A Different World are now available on DVD. This would make an excellent Christmas gift. What's your favorite 80's sitcom??
