the golden girls

i was watching them this afternoon and Estelle Getty's
charactor mention little house on the prairie.... i didn't hear the whole
thing except that

That was a funny show. My favorite line was the time the Girls were going to meet the president. A secret service agent was doing a background check on them, and he asked Rose (Betty White), "Do you advocate the overthrow of the U.S. government by force or violence?" She thought about it, then said, "Violence."

She thought it was a multiple choice question.

good lord

I love the Golden Girls and if anyone could have a blonde moment, it was Betty White's character, Rose. The innocent look on her face after she said something so dumb and stupid......thinking she had said the most intelligent thing....

I'll be darned! I knew Estelle wasn't as old as the character she played, but I didn't realize she was younger than Bea!

TV ages can be misleading. John Mahoney, who played the dad on Frasier, was only 13 years older than his "son" Kelsey Grammer.

And as a M*A*S*H fan, this really surprised me. Gary Burghoff, who played the perenially-teenaged Radar, was actually two years older than David Ogden Stiers, who played the snooty, middle-aged Charles Emerson Winchester.
