Golden Girls Marathon Honoring Estelle Getty
From Lifetime's web site:
I know there is a thread here noting her passing, but I thought a few might have missed the marathon announcement. From another, otherwise not so positive article:Friday, July 25, from 12 noon to 5 pm et/pt, see a special on-air tribute to Estelle Getty, who played the cantankerous Sophia Petrillo on "The Golden Girls." Ms. Getty passed away on Tuesday, July 22, at age 84. We'll air 10 episodes showcasing the actress's character, Sophia, in all her blustering, sarcastic splendor. The final episode shown will be one picked by the fans, so vote for your favorite Sophia moment now.
"Thank you for being a friend."
Those words were uttered by many a boomer and Lifetime viewer Tuesday afternoon when news came that Estelle Getty, aka tart-tongued grandma Sophia Petrillo from "The Golden Girls," passed away at the age of 84. Minutes later, commenters flooded Lifetime's online message boards with requests for a tribute marathon for their favorite mouthy matriarch. So many, apparently, that a mere two hours after official word came of Ms. Getty's passing, Lifetime issued a press release announcing a 10-episode "Golden Girls" marathon paying tribute to the top 10 "Sophia" episodes, even setting up an online poll for fans to vote for their No. 1 favorite.

Don't all of the old people eat dinner around 3 or 4pm?
not to sound like a total jerk... but I thought she died five years ago.
