Picture it: NBC, 1985. A little show called The Golden Girls debuts. In the show, a little old lady by the name of Sophia Petrillo moves in with her daughter and her roommates after her retirement home burns down. A little boy watches and laughs. He especially enjoys the antics of "that crazy old lady." The show continues as he enters his teens and he continues watching and laughing. Later, he watches reruns of the show as an adult and still laughs. Then, one day, the laughter stops in the wake of sad news. He then realizes that would probably be the last thing the woman behind "that crazy old lady" would want. And he watches and laughs.Wednesday, July 23, 2008
