My favorite sitcom ever.  The acting talent and the writing were first-rate, so much so that the episodes still hold up remarkably well today on re-watch, and we're talking about a show that first came on the air almost 40 years ago.  


Golden Girls is still shown on UK TV.

All of the seasons are available to watch on Disney+ now though :)

Good to know!  Re-runs have been shown here in America on various channels in syndication for more than 20 years.

Hm, now I know some of those were on, but not seen any of them, don't look like sitcoms which was all I was trying to think of earlier as an exhaustive list of US tv shows would be lengthy, well maybe WKRP was? 

 

 

Yes they did, saw a few episodes late at night, missed that one when dashing off a quick list.

I didn't really watch them to the extent of paying attention to them. They were just on rather than sitting in silence while I would unwind after getting home from work.

Recently watched 'You People', which has Hal Linden in a brief cameo role in the opening scenes, with many other Jewish actors and comedians.  I recognized him and was surprised to see him.

 

The movie was released last month and two things stand out.  Linden is clearly sticking to his 'what's retirement?' plan by acting in recent films. IMBD has one upcoming role listed too.  However, it appears he's aged.  Yes, he's 91 and yes it is a film, but he looked frail and every bit his age.

Appeared on Chris Sarandon's podcast. Seems well. (Incidentally, Sarandon also looks terrific for his age.)

Sarandon could easily pass for someone mid-50 in this video

Chris Sarandon has aged very well. He was 33 in Dog Day Afternoon:

Appeared recently on the Season Finale of the Jean Smart HBO Comedy Hacks.Didn't look or sound like he is at death's door,but was seated his entire performance,not an unreasonable name to return to the DL in 2025.

Great show Hacks btw, finally a modern-day "prestige" TV program that doesn't just do the same fucking season over and over again.

Recent interview of Hal Linden with LifeMinute. He still sounds very eloquent and mentally sharp as well as able to walk unaided. He also mentions his mother living to the age of 98.

Wow seeing this tells me having him on my Poker team is a definite wasted pick. He seems like such a great guy that would know how to have a great conversation with anyone.

Yeah I can definitely see why people would drop him, and why the committee would decide to keep him far away from the list next year. He seems to be nowhere close to qualifying.
