‘Golden’ Oldies
Okay, in my defense I did have plans to go out and hang out with actual human beings yesterday … it’s just that the fates had other plans, plans which resulted in me staying home for another evening of relaxation. My friend Michael and I had planned on seeing a movie in the early evening but while I was en route to the theater in Century City, he called to inform me that the movie was sold out and the next one would be more than 2 hours later. Honestly, I wasn’t really in the mood to kill time at the mall so we decided to take a rain check. This meant that it was back home for me to begin work on a new project. A couple of years ago, when we were together, Erik and I started watching the entire Buffy the Vampire Slayer series together and I decided to compile my list of favorite eps (which you can read HERE) … I realized that the only show I’ve prolly watched and re-watched more was The Golden Girls. I own all the seasons on DVD but I mainly watch the re-runs on Lifetime since the network airs the show 6 times a day. But, I decided to finally watch the entire series, in order, on DVD … just yesterday alone, I got halfway thru season one:
Did you know that Lifetime cuts about 15-30 secs from many of the eps to squeeze in more commercial time? I have been able to watch short scenes that I’ve never seen before because they have been cut out when the show went into syndication. In any event, I’m now working on compling a list of my fave GG eps which I’ll end up posting when I’m finished with the series. Hey, some people collect stamps so this isn’t all that strange ;)
This afternoon, tho, I will be heading out for Jim and Derek’s housewarming party. The boys are, at long last, having their big party and I’ll be meeting up with Michael, Darion and Kirsten at Jim and Derek’s later on this afternoon. As far as 4th of July weekends go, this one was pretty quiet … and I have no cause for complaint :)

golden girls is the bessssst!
July 6th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
so i read your list of fav buffy episodes.
being a buffy junky myself, i was interested to see which you liked.
i love all of the episodes you picked…
but one you didn’t have on there was “tabula rasa”, when they all lose their memories and wake up not knowing who they are “randy giles” and “joan the vampire slayer” lol.

TRENT, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 6th, 2008 at 4:51 pm
Erik has the best smile EVER. I miss that showing up on the site!
July 6th, 2008 at 5:59 pm
I want that shirt too. I’m ADDICTED to watching Golden Girls! Their dvds never leave my player.
I’m sure my show knowledge would match–maybe even beat–yours, Trent! :)
July 6th, 2008 at 7:45 pm
I definitely have my own Buffy favorites list, and I admire the fact that you kept yours at 15 – I couldn’t do that. In fact, I even have a shorter ‘Runner-Ups’ list. A lot of yours are on mine, though, and I have to agree with Joelle up there – how is “Tabula Rasa” NOT on your list? I laugh out loud every single time.
July 6th, 2008 at 8:10 pm
Trent, stop holding out! The masses have spoken: WE NEED THAT SHIRT!
July 6th, 2008 at 8:16 pm
I so need that shirt!!
July 6th, 2008 at 10:11 pm
OMG…they need to set on fire every second of GG caught on film. I have to represent the GG haters…if I never see another episode, it would be too soon.
Still love you….xoxoxo
July 6th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
Haha, I thought I was the only Golden Girls fan my age…guessed wrong! Although i bet the rest of you didn’t watch all the episodes with your grandpa…hmm, bring on the nostalgia :)
July 7th, 2008 at 7:41 am
OMG! I couldn’t agree with you more! The Golden Girls is one of those classics shows that no matter how many times you watch it, it never gets old.
I can’t wait to compare favourite episodes with your future post!
July 7th, 2008 at 8:10 am
OMG I sooo love the Golden Girls, and I also DVR the shows everyday and I collect the DVDS. Where can I get one of those shirts?
July 7th, 2008 at 8:31 am
I can’t wait for your GG list. There are so many good episodes. Not to sway anyone, but “The Actor” from season 2 is near the top of my list. Although, the one where Dorothy’s lesbian friend has a crush on Rose is a classic too.
July 7th, 2008 at 8:34 am
OMG me and my boyfriend have been watching Golden Girls, too! We are halfway through season 2! =D
July 7th, 2008 at 10:58 am
Ha! That shirt is a knock off on the Verve’s current tour shirt – EXACTLY! The Verve shirt is black with their last names in white lined up exactly like that shirt.
I need to get it so I have both.
July 7th, 2008 at 11:21 am
I remember living in San Diego, CA waking up, smoking a joint and watching the Golden Girls, then heading to work. I love them to death. Love you 2 Trent sweetie! Kissesssssssssssss…..Cal

I have all 7 seasons of GG’s on DVD best show ever!!! also they were some hard working ladies there. Check out the number of episodes per season then to what we’re currently getting from today’s shows 24-26 compared with 14-16.
July 7th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
As a BtVS superfan, I LOVED YOUR LIST!! I hadn’t seen it before now, but reading it gave me goose bumps. I’ve been wanting to rewatch some of the episodes, like Graduation (Part 1 and Part 2). I’ve just been getting back in the BtVS and Angel and have been thinking a lot on how, in the high school years, it really did have normal messages under all of the supernatural stuff.
Probably my favorite show of all time. You made my day.

ahhh Golden Girls… where I grew up they used to come on in the afternoons and I loved it. I don’t watch it as much anymore but they are still awesome whenever I catch it.
July 10th, 2008 at 9:32 pm
Um . . . no shirt link yet? Come on now, Sir. Help us out!
July 10th, 2008 at 10:49 pm
the shirt was sold by spreadshirt.com but i don’t believe they offer it for sale any more :(
July 11th, 2008 at 7:58 pm
If you need any help I can give you some recommendations ;) I can recite most of them and this has inspired me to actually write down my favorite eps. And I don’t care if this is how I’m spending my Friday night.
