[L_a_v_n]

Oh yeah! Golden Girls was the bomb!!!

Most of them are dead now I think...

[ClauRic]

^the golden girls--i don't think so..i know the oldest one has alzheimer..but the the three ladies are still alive..i saw a special golden girls special..

[quentntarantula]

i'm a big fan of THE X-FILES
Are you afraid of the dark

That show featured a really young Elisha Cuthbert (looong before 24 )

Charles in Charge (with Scott Baio and that blonde curly guy whose name escapes me)
...
Haay, lumalabas ang edad ko

I agree with you there...the blonde curly guy was no other than WILLIE AAMES

[L_a_v_n]

^the golden girls--i don't think so..i know the oldest one has alzheimer..but the the three ladies are still alive..i saw a special golden girls special..

Really? I wasn't really sure...what did they do in the golden girls special?

[ClauRic]

^well the three ladiesjust basically talked abt the show..like how it started-why they chose "the ending"...the funny episodes...etc..i think they did it coz of some anniversary or because of the dvd release
but i remember months ago they were on an entertainment news--sorth of like what happened to them after all those years..and that's when i found out the oldest one has alzheimer disease..

quentntarantula oo nga, si Willie Aames -- my first encounter with a stupid male blonde

One interesting trivia about the golden girls is that Estelle Getty, who plays the oldest character in the show, is actually the youngest in real life. Come to think of it, para silang older version ng grils of sex in the city

Other memorable shows for me are Make Me Laugh with Bob Saget, Candid Camera, and Twilight Zone.

Madami pa, let me think...

[ubermensch]

let me add to my previous list. i like this thread so much, na nanghihinayang ako kasi alam ko lagi lang akong may makakalimutan.

takeshi's castle
daimos
voltes v
shaider (wasn't a bioman fan)
superfriends
the muppet show
doogie howser, m.d.
twilight zone
knight rider
airwolf
the a-team
highlander

at dahil hindi ako insecure sa pagiging jologs ko:
that's entertainment
annaluna
connie reyes on camera (kasi pinapanood ng lola ko, at lola's pet ako)
meron pa sa channel 9 dati, in black and white, during siesta time, mga old pinoy movies. man, that was awesome. i feel lucky i was able to watch those classics.

on the contrary, rue maclanahan is the youngest golden girl. what's true is estelle getty is actually younger than beatrice arthur who plays estelle's daughter.

i love this show. i just got my copy of the third season...kakarelease lang last nov nito sa states. it's still as funny as when i first saw it back in the 80s.

here are some funny quotes from the show:

Rose: You know, Sophia, your problem at work reminds me of something that happened back in St. Olaf.
Sophia: Please. Dust reminds you of something that happened back in St. Olaf!

Dorothy: Ma, "disdam" is not a word.
Sophia: It certainly is!
Dorothy: Okay, prove it, use it in a sentence.
Sophia: You're no good at disdam game.

Sophia: Oh boy, we're going to a sperm bank. I wonder if they have a drive-up window!

Blanche: Dorothy, what do you think I oughta do with my bed?
Dorothy: Put it in the Smithsonian, Blanche. Its got more miles on it than the Spirit of St. Louis!

Dorothy: I'd kill Gloria if she wrote a book about my sexual life.
Sophia: You'd kill your sister over a pamphlet?
Dorothy: Shut up Ma!

Blanche: Now Rose... put yourself in my position.
Rose: Apparently I'm not limber enough!

Dorothy: Oh c'mon, Blanche. Age is just a state of mind.
Blanche: Tell that to my thighs!

Rose: Do we have to kill the minks?
Sophia: No, Rose, many women like wearing coats that urinate!

Sophia: I need some advice, Rose.
Rose: And you are asking me?
Sophia: Frightening isn't it?

Sophia: I found my lucky handkerchief.
Rose: Where was it?
Sophia: It was in my bra.
Rose: What was it doing in your bra?
Sophia: I was blowing my breasts, Rose!

Dorothy: How long do you think you can stay handcuffed?
Blanche: My personal best is 32 hours... of course, then I had someone to play with.

Blanche: Dorothy you're a substitute, your job isn't actually to teach.
Dorothy: Then what is it?
Blanche: To keep the kids from burning the school down until the other teacher gets back!

Blanche: I do love the rain so... it reminds me of my first kiss.
Dorothy: Aww... your first kiss was in the rain?
Blanche: No... it was in the shower!

Rose: My mother always used to say, "The older you get, the better you get, unless you're a banana."

Sophia: Hello, I'm the new Activities Director here.
Woman: What's your name, honey?
Sophia: Sophia.
Woman: Sophia, move it, you're blocking the television!!

Rose: We should put out the welcome mat.
Blanche: But honey, we don't have a welcome mat!
Rose: What about the one Dorothy says is always at the foot of your bed?

Rose: When I was in school the kids made up a really mean nick name for me just because I had hairy legs.
Blanche: What did they call you?
Rose: Rose with the hairy legs.
Dorothy: Kids can be so cruel.

Blanche: Sophia, do you know where any batteries are?
Sophia: You make me sick!

Dorothy: Rose, I know that this is a long shot, but did you take much acid during the sixites?

Dorothy: Ma, Rose isn't talking to me...
Sophia: Enjoy it while it lasts, now good night!

Blanche: I treat my body like a temple.
Sophia: Yeah, open to everyone, day or night!

Dorothy: I tell you what. Ma, how would you like to go golfing with me and Raymond today?
Sophia: I'd love to! But, I don't own any ugly plaid polyester. (Looks over at Rose)
Sophia: Rose, do you have anything in a size 6?

Sophia: My hiney's asleep!
Dorothy: Fine... we'll keep our voices down.

Dorothy: There's a man on our lawn!
Blanche: Get the net!

Blanche: What do you think of my new dress? Is it me?
Sophia: It's too tight, it's too short, and it shows too much cleavage for a woman your age.
Dorothy: Yes, Blanche. It's you.

Rose: Blanche, let's face it, you're beautiful and sexy all the time! You've got an outstanding figure, Betty Davis eyes, and... Freddy Krueger hands!

(Stan tries to sleep in Dorothy's bed)
Dorothy: You're not getting into this bed!
Stan: Then where am I supposed to sleep?
Dorothy: On the floor, like any dog!

Dorothy: Oh Ma, why did I ever marry that man?
Sophia: Because he knocked you up.
Dorothy: Why did I ever let that happen?
Sophia: Because he got you drunk.
Dorothy: Why am I having this conversation with you?!
Sophia: Beats the hell out of me!

Blanche: Rose be sure to dress youthfully.
Rose: What for?
Sophia: You're old!!

Blanche: I've been rejected once.
Dorothy: From who?
Blanche: Weight Watchers... for being too thin.

Rose: Did you know they have an egg named after you Blanche?
Blanche: Oh really? How is it prepared?
Sophia: Over easy.

Sophia: I can't believe I have a daughter who threw a priest out the door!
Dorothy: Ma, you have relatives that throw priests out of windows!!

Blanche: I can't believe you said that! Oh if I weren't a lady I'd deck you.
Dorothy: You try and I'll have you on your back so fast you'll think you're out on a date.

Dorothy: So you're five years older. So am I, so is Blanche. Alright, so you have a few more wrinkles. So do I, so does Blanche. OK, so you're a little thicker around the middle. So is Blanche!

Blanche: Oh girls... I'm just in ecstasy! My body is tingling all over! You will never guess what just happened!
Sophia: We know what happened! Let us just guess what part of the Middle East he's from!

i remember misfits of science..that's where i next saw courtney cox--after bruce springsteen's born in the usa video

[kireigonjin]

I love Sophia's witty lines --- the best

I'd like to correct myself regarding her age, as well as on the star of BJ and the Bear: it should be Greg Evigan and not Peter deLouise.

Ano nga yung title nung sitcom na nagko-cross dress si Tom Hanks at isang friend nya just so they can rent an all-women apartment?

I also like Benson, with the classy wit and humor of Robert Gillaume (?). I also remember The Hardy Boys (Shawn Cassidy and Parker Stevenson) and CHiPs (Erik Estrada)
