The Golden Girls > Sex in the City

Why the heck am I writ­ing about the Golden Girls in the first place? It does seem rather odd. I was with the gal I’m see­ing and we got on the topic of the Golden Girls. We got on that topic because that was what she was watch­ing when I showed up to her place, which I thought was odd. My grand­mother watched ‘Golden Girls.’ Not only that, but the girl I’m see­ing also watches the Golden Girls… It all got me to think­ing, kids.

Watch­ing an episode of the Golden Girls with Lacy was inter­est­ing to say the least. By the Power of St. Olaf I was ready to break the TV with my face!!! I couldn’t stand it. Then Blanch struts in with her “36 year old” fig­ure going on about the shoes she had pur­chased. Some­thing clicked. Sure, Blanch is a cougar, as are all the rest of the Golden Girls, but I real­ized that the Golden Girls were pioneers!

They were pio­neers in the sense that they were older cougar-​​iffic sex slam­ming women in Florida tak­ing names and get­ting some ass.  They got play, even Bea Arthur, Dorothy, was get­ting a piece and what a throaty ass­hole of a women she was.  Betty White was the inno­cent buf­foon of the group, Rose, that dropped acid once too many times in the town square of St. Olaf.  Blanch was the home wrecking-​​man devour­ing sex fiend using her wiles to woo boys and men of all ages.  She was so bad!  Then there was Dorothy’s mom, played mem­o­rably by Estelle Getty, who was actu­ally younger than Bea Arthur by a year.

They com­pared quite well with the Sex in the City cast, it was pointed out to me by Lacy.  Dorothy was clearly Car­rie.  Rose was cer­tainly Char­lotte and Blanch was the slutty one… I for­get her name, but you know who I’m talk­ing about; the char­ac­ter played so well by Kim Cattrall.

It was obvi­ous that were it not for the ‘Golden Girls’ there would not have been ‘Sex in the City’ or that awful, hor­ri­ble, ‘Lip­stick Jungle.’

That said, if ever hear “Back in St. Olaf…” again I’m going to just do the whole hari kari thing and get it over with… I’m just sayin’.

Until next time ladies, don’t make your guy watch the Golden Girls.
