Damn You Golden Girls!
Each time I see them; I am reminded of how much of a softie I really am. I've seen the "special" episodes of The Golden Girls dozens of times, but they still get my chin to quiver. Today was the two part final episode of the series; where Dorothy marries Lucas (Leslie Nielsen) and moves away to Atlanta. The final goodbyes between the girls are just heartwrenching, probably cuz the emotions are very real. I can't imagine spending that much time (7 years) with this same group of people; day in and day out and then having to say a final goodbye. I think it's hard when I've done a show that ran a few months and it's ending! It's a tough time. Anyway, these damn episodes still make me cry. Damn you Golden Girls, for making me feel like an idiot!
Other notable cryfest episodes:
Dorothy's brother Phil dies; Brenda Vaccarro guest stars.
Sofia meets a friend on the boardwalk; he happens to have Alzheimer's. Joe Seneca guest stars.
There's one more that I can't quite remember; but I do recall that it's a doozy of a cryer. Anyway...I love to feel like a fool.

Ooh, I love Golden Girls too! Long live Dorothy, Rose, Blanche and Sophia! Another weeper...when Sophia gets really sick and they all think she's going to die and Stan stays at the hospital all night with Dorothy. LOVE it!
I remember that one. It's a doozy. I don't think it's the one I'm trying to remember, but you're right, it gets my tear ducts a-workin'...
