Thank You For Being A Friend... →
Not a week goes by that I don’t watch at least two or three episodes of The Golden Girls. I am not kidding…
And on this snowy day with a slow moving inbox, I stumbled across this article on The Daily Beat from the fall on the 25th anniversary of the show. It is SPOT ON and pretty much sums up perfectly why I never tired of it, even if I’ve seen an episode a thousand times...
