When I first heard about a new show that was going to air that was about 3 middle-aged women and an elderly woman living together, I thought to myself, “Who the hell is going to watch that?” It was the 1980s, and youth and beauty were the thing. That’s not to say that youth and… Read More Throwback Thursday—Retro TV:The Golden Girls

Specifically, they were talking about my blog about TV and how I don’t have time to watch all the shows I’d like to watch. Well, Ms.… Read More Throwback Thursday—Fangirl Retro TV
