I (HEART) The Golden Girls

As a little kid, I remember watching the television show, The Golden Girls.  I (HEART) this show.  I really do.  With YouTube, I'm able to enjoy all the episodes online.   

This show is like comfort food.  It's my comfort t.v. show when I'm sick, feeling blue, need a laugh or just want to watch something.  I've watched the episodes over and over and over.  So much of the ideologies of the late 1980s and early 1990s are reflected in the show, and the show was ahead of its time because it touched on so many topics that are still relevant today.  The writing's funny and the acting is wonderful. 

I'd recommend you watch all of the episodes.  Yet, if you're only interested in some of the episodes, then I'd recommend the following:

1.  This episode makes me appreciate life:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYKHLzIpfro
2.  I love this episode because it has my all time favorite line from this show (it involves "one inch of water"):  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhSaDLhQxks
3.  I love this episode because it makes fun of MN (also, there is no city in MN called St. Olaf):  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7_x20J_m60
4.  I love this episode because Estelle Getty (who plays Sophia) has some of the best lines ever:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTrhuSi7H78
5.  This episode is just fun to watch:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNSxBb_laNs

My tip, when you do watch on YouTube, is to skip the song at the beginning and start each episode at the 50 second mark.  Let me know if you do end up watching any of the episodes and your thoughts about The Golden Girls.  Enjoy!
