Since I have been up well past 2am for who knows how long working on Ph. D applications I have been watching Golden Girls. I am not ashamed to admit it. On a normal night I watch Fraiser, which comes on at midnight and 12:30. I'm usually asleep by the second episode. It comes on Lifetime and that's fine--I don't care that all of the commercials are for tampons and adult diapers; I enjoy the programming nonetheless. Golden Girls is edgy. Sofia says things that would never be allowed on TV now. I'm not going to stay up until 1am every night to watch it once my applications are complete but in the mean time I'll thank them for being a friend.
