“Your heart is true, you’re a pal and a confidant.”
Everything we ever needed to know about friendship, we learned from The Golden Girls. From hair removal to husbands — and over plenty of cheesecake — Dorothy, Rose, Blanche and Sophia showed us what it means to laugh and love life’s troubles away.
In tribute, here are our 10 favorite friendship moments from The Golden Girls. And to Dorothy, Rose, Blanche and Sophia, we say, “Thank you for being a friend.”
1. Friends share your embarrassing moments with you.
For many women, there are few things more embarrassing than buying condoms — especially when the type and color is broadcast over the PA system!
2. Friends let their hair down together.
It doesn’t have to be Halloween for friends to get dressed up together. And is it just us, or does Dorothy bear a striking resemblance to Cher?
3. Friends tell you when you’re outfit doesn’t look good!
But in this case, Blanche and Rose go a little too far!
4. Friends listen to your boring stories.
Blanche’s memories of her late husband aren’t always riveting — but the girls listen anyway!
5. Friends put themselves in your shoes.
Sophia helps Blanche comes to terms with her gay brother’s decision to marry — and even offers to marry Blanche herself!
6. Friends help you navigate your love life.
Even if they sometimes “don’t understand” what you’re doing.
7. Friends share their TMI moments.
Even when it involves painful hair removal products!
8. Friends cheat on their diets together.
Especially when it involves cheesecake!
9. Friends admit it when they’ve done something wrong.
Even when they’ve been “baking” with somebody else’s man!
10. Friends cherish the good times.
“Fights, laughter, secrets, cheesecake”… as Rose put it, that’s what friendship’s all about.
