THE OLDEN GIRLS
THE GOLDEN GIRLS
1985-1992 NBC
THE OLDEN GIRLS
MAD #263, June 1986
w: Arnie & Jay Kogen
a: Angelo Torres
Sitcom about four women who live together in a rest home in Miami. The cast was Dorothy (Bea Arthur), Rose (Betty White), Blanche (Rue McClanahan), and Dorothy's mother Sophia (Estelle Getty).
Bea Arthur and Rue McClanahan were together on Maude ten years earlier. Betty White, now 99, is the only member of the cast still alive. Estelle Getty was actually younger than Bea Arthur. Rue McClanahan was the same age I am now because people aged faster then.
THE MOLDIN GIRLS
Cracked #222, September 1986

The cops here are from Miami Vice.
They have a cameo by Mary Tyler Moore here. They make a reference to her attempt at doing a comeback show in the 80s but don't mention that Betty White co-starred on her original 70s sitcom.
“ but don't mention that Betty White co-starred on her original 70s sitcom.”
ReplyDeleteBetty White says “I think I know her from somewhere” which I assume is a reference.
Cracked spoof, page 4: Telly Savalas, yes, but who's the other guy? He's too bland-looking to pin down. Maybe Robert Wagner?
ReplyDeletePage 5: the last panel includes Milton Berle, Raymond Burr, Don Rickles, Leonard Nimoy, Bert Parks, and Alfred E. Neuman (in a domino mask?).
