Hi everyone,
I stumbled across this forum via the GoldenGirlsNews Twitter account and I thought I'd register. I'm almost a complete noob when it comes to the series tho, I've always known about it but never really watched it since the only sitcom I've ever liked was ALF (grew up with that one, like just about everyone in my country, Germany was obsessed with ALF for some reason) and I thought I didn't need another one. Turns out I DID need another one... namely this one. lol A friend of mine told me about the DVDs being reasonably priced, so I gave in and bought them and here I am now, watching an episode every day (no need to rush through this) and laughing and laughing and laughing whenever I do so. I'm only on season 1, so there's plenty of stuff for me to discover I guess.
I do have a fave already - Dorothy. (Hence my avatar, I just HAD to have the Dorothy Funko when I saw there was one.) She and I are very much alike, I used to have a friend who was basically a mixture of 80% Blanche and 20% Rose and I'm hollering whenever Dorothy gets savage towards either Blanche or Rose because that's exactly how things played out for us back then, too. lol
What else can I say...? Maybe something standard-ish about me? My name is Alexander, I'm 36 and I work in IT. I've added my Twitter handle to my profile, so if you want to check me out there and say hi, feel free to do so! I always enjoy making new friends.
If you have any questions, just ask!

Welcome aboard! Glad you found us on Twitter, and thanks for joining the group...
It's amazing that you're just now discovering the show. You have a whole different perspective than those of us who grew up with it, and have followed it through reruns, DVDs and now streaming.
Enjoy the show!!

Yeah I did always know about the show but somehow it never ended up on my "to-watch" radar. I guess ALF already had the "number one sitcom" place in my childhood. That won't stop me from enjoying Golden Girls now, though! It's a hilarious and yet also thought-provoking show with episodes with real messages. Not many sitcoms manage to be like that.

Hello and welcome! Man, I envy you, so much great stuff to watch for the very first time! Love that you're such a big ALF fan like myself. Also, I'm a Trekkie! Hope you stick around and give us some updates on how your watch of the girls are going.

I've been thinking about creating a topic about my first GG experience, I just wasn't sure if it would be okay... but then, this should be the perfect place for something like this, y/y? I'll give this some thought, I have a lot of (good) feelings about GG and Dorothy in particular and I'd love to have a place to share them all!
And yeah I'm still a huge ALF fan, that show just never leaves you for some reason. And yeah I do like Star Trek, although I'm mostly just into TNG, that show is my JAAAAM. (I'm generally more of a fan of Sir Patrick Stewart than Star Trek tho. *ducks* lol)
