The beloved The Golden Girls is coming to Logo (our parent company) starting on Saturday, with a "Hot Flashback Weekend", and below you can see a compilation they've put together of some of the gayest moments of the series, including scenes with Blanche's gay brother Clayton. Take a look.
So here's the question: What is your favorite Golden Girls moment or episode? It's a daunting question, I know, and one I expect most people will deliberate and agonize over. I'll get the ball rolling with my top five episodes. Are any of these your favorites?
5. It's A Miserable Life - When the girls run afoul of battleax neighbor Frida Claxton, Rose tells her to "drop dead," ... which she does. The girls spring for the funeral, but are dejected when no one shows up. But then something ... remarkable happens.
4. Yes, We Have No Havanas - When Blanche and Sophia start dating the same man, the claws come out.
3. Bringing Up Baby - Rose gets custody of her uncle's baby, who isn't quite what everyone expected.
2. Second Motherhood - Blanche starts dating a wealthy man with two small children, while Rose and Dorothy decide to install a toilet by themselves.
1. Long Day's Journey into Marinara - The second appearance by Nancy Walker as Sophia's sister also marked the debut of Count Bessie, the Showbiz Chicken, whose triumph here would lead to tragedy later in the episode.
