The Golden Girls Vs. Yes, Dear... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

troopoleon8897 · 07-13-2005, 12:45 AM

Me And A Friend (ONeilJ73) Were Arguing About How He Rated His Favorite Shows On TV.com And He Gave Yes, Dear A Higher Rating Then The Golden Girls. Now He Still Thinks Yes, Dear Is A Better Show Even Though I Explained To him About How The Golden Girls Have Won Countless Emmys And How Yes, Dear Will Never Make It To Even One Seeing As How It Got Cancelled CBS And Only Brought Back Cause They Had Nothing To Put On ... I Was Explaining How The Quality Of The Golden Girls Is So Much Better Than Yes, Dear And That You Should Like Whatever Show You Like Just Know That The Golden Girls Is Better Than Yes, Dear... He Still Thinks Im Wrong....

So Which Show Is Better And Why In Your Own Opinion?

P.S. I Am Not Saying I Dislike Yes, Dear Infact I Watched It Every Wednesday Night This Year.

Yes dear was a better show. I love watching Yes Dear, I also enjoy watching Golden Girls. I think Yes Dear is a funnier show and I like it more. Golden Girls might have won a couple emmys, so what, lol...yes dear is still better

Give Me A Break!!!

I like Yes, Dear, but it can't even compete with Golden Girls.

Stormtracker TF · 07-13-2005, 01:06 AM

It's all a matter of opinion.

And I also prefer Yes, Dear to the Golden Girls.

Dean Winchester · 07-13-2005, 02:17 AM

Golden Girls is a classic. Yes Dear has it's moments but definately not among the best sitcoms tv has to offer. I mean, Rose's St. Olaf stories, Sophia's Sicily tales, Dorothy's timely sarcasm and the ego of Blanche, how can Yes Dear compare? honestly?

Dean Winchester · 07-13-2005, 02:18 AM

Mike O'Malley was 100 times funnier on the forgotten WB series "Life With Roger" than he'll ever be on Yes Dear IMO. Anthony Clark was also hilarious on "Ellen", moreso than on YD as well.

USTVFanFromUK · 07-13-2005, 08:11 AM

The Golden Girls wins hands-down.

Yes, Dear is barf material.

barwars · 07-13-2005, 11:31 AM

This case is not a matter of opinion.... The Golden Girls is superior in every aspect. Better writing, better acting, and better ratings, in both Neilsens and with critics.

I have seen Yes, Dear maybe 15 or 20 times, and it doesn't even come close to the entertainment value of The Golden Girls. The lead actors in YD are two very funny guys, but the material they're given is terrible, and the wives are neither funny nor all that attractive.

The Golden Girls will go down in history as a classic, while Yes, Dear will be remembered as an embarassment that was allowed to go beyond 100 episodes (Becker, anyone?!)

Exactlly My Point, Yes Dear Is A Small Bush And Will NEVER Grow To The Height Of The Large Oak Tree That Is The Golden Girls.....

Dean Winchester · 07-13-2005, 03:17 PM

I honestly don't see the point in comparing the two shows at all.

Something like Designing Women would be a better "vs." choice for Golden Girls (or Sex And The City, or Living Single, or even The Facts Of Life, or maybe even Desperate Housewives, something with four female leads). Something like The King Of Queens would be a better "vs." choice for Yes Dear. The two shows have about as much in common as Lost and Lizzie Maguire have.

I Was Just Trying To Prove A Point To Him That Even Though They Are Completely Different Shows The Golden Girls Wins Hands Down...

right. Even tho the majority of people I know prefer The Golden Girls, if someone out there honestly finds Yes Dear funnier than Golden Girls, the persons not wrong, it's just what appeals to them

ONeilJ73 · 07-13-2005, 05:39 PM

it is my opinion and i like Yes dear more than the golden girls. it is probably 100 times funnier. i like both shows i would just rather watch yes dear. i think Troopoleon isnt quite telling it right...i said i think it is funnier and i would rate it higher because i thought we were rating it by how much we liked it and i like it more than the golden girls.
