An ORIGINAL (new) 90-minute GG retrospective coming to Lifetime! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVJunkie101 · 04-03-2003, 05:51 PM

I got this from http://www.thefutoncritic.com and the news comes from Lifetime's upfront presentation about upcoming movies, series and specials in anticipation for the fall:

The primetime line-up also features specials and documentaries such as a "Designing Women" reunion produced by co-creator Harry Thomason featuring all of the stars, Delta Burke, Dixie Carter, Annie Potts, Jean Smart, Mesach Taylor and creators/producer Linda Bloodworth Thomason, sharing their favorite and funniest moments, as well as a 90-minute Andrew Solt produced "Golden Girls" retrospective that unveils the stories behind the laughs and celebrates one of the greatest comedy series created. Also, on the roster are the fourth annual "Women Rock!" concert for breast cancer awareness which this year will celebrate the movies and "Weddings of a Lifetime" specials.

this is GREAT news. Anything new from Golden Girls is good. And this would be even better news if Stevie Nicks was going to be performing at tis women who rock concert

Or, I would've replied to this one instead of starting a new post about it LOL.

IamGGFan · 04-25-2003, 05:47 PM

When is this going to take place? I'm so happy it is going to take place. LOL.

angel676 · 04-25-2003, 07:19 PM

From what I've been told, it's going to be aired sometime in June, but don't quote me on that. They haven't set a date
yet though!

I can't wait for this GG special. I can't believe how popular GG still is. First there was the GG TV Tales and now this GG special. I'm soooooo loving this!!!!!! lol Golden Girls is coming back stronger then ever. GO GOLDEN GIRLS, YOU ROCK!!!!!

IamGGFan · 04-26-2003, 03:51 PM

I feel the exact same way you do. They ROCK!!!!!!!! I am very excited about this too.

Pavan · 04-27-2003, 12:07 AM

Mark the calendars for Monday, June 30, 8 to 9:30pm, it will be like how TV Tales, TVography, ET Weekend, etc. are. More info to come!

EDIT: "The Golden Girls: Their Greatest Moments" will now air Monday June 2, from 8 to 9:30 pm. At 9:30pm will be an episode of The Golden Girls, where Blanche is getting ready to marry Harry but realizes she is a bigamist. At 10:00 pm will be a rerun of Intimate Portrait: Estelle Getty, followed by the regular Golden Girls airings at 11 and 11:30pm.

As of now, the Designing Women reunion is on tap for July 21, though that can change as well.

Is it on at EDT or PDT or CDT that you just said. I'm guessing you meant EDT time since your location is in NJ. Am I right? I can't wait for that day either.

Correct, EDT/PDT.

RoseNylund · 04-28-2003, 07:55 PM

There will be a story about this on tomorrow's ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT (on 4/29/03). They said, "Coming up tomorrow..the Golden Girls reunion, and why one of the girls couldn't attend due to illness.) We have to assume it is Estelle Getty since she has been ill for some time.
