Estelle Getty passed away today. You know, the mom on Golden Girls who had to move back in with her daughter Dorothy because she burned down her retirement home at Shady Pines. That makes me sad. I have specific memories of watching this show with my cousin as a little girl years ago back in Seattle. I got back into watching reruns of Golden Girls in college for no better reason other than it made me feel nostaligic. And every now and then I'll catch an episode because, damn, those old ladies were funny and damn, I keep moving farther and farther away from those early years watching it with my cousin.
You know, I got to see the front of the house that they used in the show. It's out on a backlot for Universal Studios in Orlando. It was part of the tour. Remember when they would do cross episodes with the dad and daughters from Empty Nest? And that dog. I think his name was Rufus or Dreyfuss...something like that.
Bummer.
