Tonite's ep with Miles. Rose is telling Blanche that if she does not get her deck shuffled soon she'll.... then it cuts to Roland bringing the hotel record books out of the room. Roland hear Rose and Blanche talking about "cards" Roland asks the following which was edited from this episode:

Roland: Are you guys talking about sex again?
Blanche: No. We're talking about cards.
Roland: Oh. I normally play solitare.

Rose and Blanche snicker after hearing Roland's remark and then Rose walks off then Roland tells Blanche about the book. The only inconsistency with the edit is that we did not see Rose walk off. You would have thought Rose might have been standing there.

The episode was very sad, I never would have thought Miles would cheat on Rose but I was wrong, shame on you Miles!

I didn't think I would feel this was but I actually think it's nice without the harshness of Dorothy. Don't get me wrong, I love her character and the GG series, GP is just a different and equally enjoyable show for me.

ThomasE · 08-04-2005, 07:28 AM

I thought Rose was funnier in this episode. You know, the eay she threw the potato in the kitchen after the customer said, I didn't order a baked potato, I asked for rice. Rose throws the potato in the kitchen telling: "WE NEED RICE!" Plus I enjoyed the line about going to kick some country cousin humping etc, etc, butt!

So far I love Golden Palace! I couldn't wait for this, and it hasn't dissapointed me. The episodes get better every day. But, I have to say today's episode was the funniest so far, "One Old Lady To Go". I loved the parts with Sophia, and the Chinese Restaurant.

Sophia: What's my name? Who Me? Yah, Who Me (Referring as a Chinese name)

Chuy: This is my friend, Dr. Fong... she also makes a mean Butterfly Shrimp
Fong: "Buttorfry Swimp!" (In Chinese accent)

Sophia: Hey, it's a dog-eat-dog world out there.
Fong: Dog, no cook dog!

The part when Sophia is taken away by the police is priceless!! Boy, she can move!!

I was surprised when I first saw this show originally that that is MARGARET CHO. I love her.

I forgot it was on Lifetime since Aug. 1st until I saw an episode listing on the episode guide thingy on my iO service. And forgot about it again until 11:25 last night when I was channel surfing and discovered it was on! Damn! Tuned in 25 minutes too late, huh? Well, I got 5 minutes outa it anyway, lol.

oh I know!!! I was so happy to see her on that episode.

I'm still wondering how it's doing in the ratings.

Oh Pavanbadal, any word yet??

Pavan · 08-05-2005, 09:26 PM

I know the premiere did a 1.4 HH rating. Which is like 1.6-1.8 million viewers. Nothing spectacular, just average for Lifetime.

TVJunkie101 · 08-05-2005, 09:59 PM

Well, the ratings aren't bad, I guess. How does Golden Girls compare to that?

Anyway, I've really been enjoying the series. Each episode is very funny. I do find that watching the episodes a couple of times over, it loses a bit of funny and it's obivous that the writers really relied on the cliched jokes that worked so well on TGG. While on the GG, no matter how many times (for me at least) I watch an episode, it's just as funny.

But overall, I was very pleasently surprised. But doesn't Lifetime cut out a scene from the pilot (one of the funniest, IMO) between Rose and the robber? I remember having an uncut episode of that through an old trade I watched once (the quality was horrible, so I ended up tossing it).

I was a little miffed at the Miles episode. I had read the ending about how Miles did cheat on Rose, but I was relieved at first to see they worked it out and then, bam, Miles admits he had an affair. That was a really good episode. I can't wait for the Dorothy episodes next week.

Overall, I really have been enjoying The Golden Palace. The stories are a bit cliched and over the top, but are fun and it's virtually the same as TGG, just minus Dorothy, toss in two men and a boy and a new set, and voila. I'm very surprise the show didn't go on for another season or two. And has it ever been explained why the show switched networks? Would it have worked better if it stayed on NBC? I guess we'll never know.
