I don’t get why people take Sophia so seriously

The best Shady Pines moment was when Dorothy and Blanche were on that talk show.

Also it’s hilarious when Dorothy covers Sophia’s mouth before she has a chance to speak like “Okay, old lady. Not again. You’ve already said a mouthful. Don’t you dare”.

But seriously, it was rather inconsiderate of Sophia to have Dorothy feel like a loser. But in the end, Sophia probably initially thought that it would’ve saved her a lot less trouble. Yes, it was rather selfish, but she did anything she could to not be deemed responsible for Dorothy’s night.

It was a lot more than just inconsiderate. It was cold, calculated and cruel, also incredibly selfish and uncaring. Sophia did absolutely nothing to comfort Dorothy who was suffering. All Sophia did was lie, lie, lie. IMO, she's horrible. Parents are supposed to protect their children but Sophia was only interested in protecting herself.

I love Sophia. I don't take the characters that seriously on a sitcom when they're "mean" for comedic reasons.

The big difference is, Dorothy was tactful about it. Sophia was not. She was mean and crude.

Speaking of The Golden Girls, I was watching the episode where Blanche was being verbally abused by her boyfriend. Maybe it’s just me, but I thought it was totally out of character for Blanche to condone that jerk’s behavior.

I'm glad she completely snapped out of it when she caught that scumbag grabbing Dorothy's wrist.

Blanche should’ve sat Rex down at the kitchen table and gave him some nice apple pie with poisoning all in it. That would’ve taught him not to be such a douche.

Nah... Blanche was too good to stoop down even below Rex's level. Plus, everything worked out in the end anyway.
