Golden Girls loss



Most notable "It would not be until season three that Arthur would win that Emmy bookend. With Getty also winning that night, the quartet joined "All in the Family" in the Emmy record book as the only sitcoms with an entirely award-winning cast. ("Will & Grace" would become the third such show when Debra Messing finally won her Emmy in 2003.) "

I just want to say that Golden Girls is a ground breaking show for lots of reasons; first recurring gay character; first prime time show to deal with women's sexuality in that way; and amongst the winningnest ever. These three shows that hold these records are all ground breaking in terms of material. Do they have that in common or just an incredible cast?

Although my favorite Golden Girl was Sophia (Estelle Getty), who sadly also passed, its hard to imagine my life without watching this show constantly. I hope Bea Arthur, as well as Estelle Getty, is always remembered for her contribution to the discussion of important issues of society and family. I know I will never forget what this show means to me.

Anoop Desai went home finally, but really? i think he just didn't have a fan base - where were all the Indians? He was so good and so cute. Honestly, I think his fan base was missing. He kept getting picked on even though the judges frequently said he was so good. I forgot that he made it top 13 instead of top 12 though - maybe he did better than expected then.

I wonder if Indians just don't watch this show in large number? And shouldn't the UNC base have helped him out quite a bit? I guess when there are so many millions of votes, its tough. Sorry Anoop, if I had been in the US, I'd have voted for you a good 20 times. Love the facial hair though!
