Things That Exist: The Dutch Golden Girls
This is five thousand years old (5 months old to be exact), but I've never seen it before seeing it at Vulture and it feels like an air kiss for the eyes from Bea Arthur. There's been several international versions of the Golden Girls and this one from the Netherlands has a cover of the theme song in its intro. It almost sounds better in Dutch, because I'm pretty sure I heard homegirl sing about a duffel bag.
My guess is that the cotton candy-haired one is Sophia, the one that looks like a slimmer Mrs. Doubtfire is Dorothy, the one with the serious highlights is Rose and the one with the platinum bob is Blanche. And I bet that instead of eating cheesecake in the middle of the night, they eat everything in the cupboards since they're always stoned. It's the Netherlands!

The theme song is awesome - I really wish I knew Dutch - but somehow I think the show would suck.
Hey Cake666, how much time have you spent in France? I am guessing NONE. Frenchies will jump on your ass in a nanosecond for speaking English instead of French in public places so fermez la bouche.
I'm from Holland and I didn't even know this existed! Don't think I'll be looking out for it anyway... Dutch tv shows tend to be soooo cheesy, with always the same overacting people. Don't make Dutch versions of American tv shows, my fellow countrymen! And don't make American versions of British tv shows either. ;)
Well, I have always enjoyed language(s) and linguistics period and I have to argue that English is not boring. There is so much "song" and heritage to discover in all the ranging dialects and accents.
Arabic and Chinese is similar in this way.

English is overrated. No one calls English the language of love or anger or passion. It's as boring as white bread.
No shit. Those twats Shakespeare, Yeats, Joyce, Greene, Thomas, Didion.... Booooring!

Oh yeah right. That's why German operas have been beloved in Italy for centuries.

OMG, I think I love you!!
English is overrated. No one calls English the language of love or anger or passion. It's as boring as white bread. Too bad the media is too busy making people dumb that people don't realize the importance of teaching kids multiple languages before they get too old to retain them.
Only the English speaking people make fun of other languages..it's to make up for the fact that every retard in the world can speak their little language ;)
"Dutch sounds like..blah..German sounds like...blah...Russian sounds like..blah..Chinese sounds like...etc."
Sorry, we were too busy learning multiple languages, no time to make ours easy enough for you cunts ;)

That's how I feel about "Everybody Loves Raymond". For people who supposedly love each other, they were so MEAN all the time.
I guess I was raised differently, but I don't think being mean is a sign of love. Some kidding is okay, but you don't want to make your beloveds feel bad EVER.

Here are a lot of the remakes of the Golden Girls..I would watch the Spanishy one. Th Dutch one is actually fairly new. Still does not do justice to the original bitches though. Betty you get out your chancla and whoop some tricks!

Can you imagine how scary the Russian version would be?
@Suckage
LOL!
When I get my dick back, I'm going to make him clean up after my pussy. Hair everywhere, litter everywhere, lunch shrapnel everywhere. And don't get me STARTED on the snot that he sprays! Messy cunt.
I bet the jokes are even racier in this version. The Dutch don't have too many hang-ups... I saw this documentary the other night about two 60+ year old hookers... who were still practicing.
I was in Amsterdam back in 2007. Party central people...
I heard "duffle bag" too. Dutch always sounds to me like they're hocking up a luggie. Everyone speaks English there, anyway.
brilliant, now where can I watch an episode. it doesn't matter that I won't understand a word or it, but you just know that one show had them toking up on a trip to Amsterdam and in any language, that spells WACKY.
I want to see more.
LOL, that there are so many versions of Golden Girls! Can't pick out which one is which either, haha
@Sucky, that's brilliant!

I loved the Golden Girls when I was a kid, can not stand the show now. I tried watching them a few months ago for the first time in years and I didnt realize how mean-spirited it truly was, especially Sophia. Just not funny to me anymore. For one thing, I have an elderly mother and many of the jokes in the show that I laughed at when i was 18, 19 I find insulting now. And the cheesecake binges? Hello bulimia! Absolutely not funny.
Well, I'll bet the neighbors are just LOVIN' this!--Mama.
ladies we like these ladies but we will always like The Golden Shower Girls more, ladies

suckandfuck, do us all a favor, and hang yourself. Oh, and your parents should be shot for raising a disgusting pig like yourself.
That is AMAZING. Hahahaha.
Speaking of Golden Girls I really want to petition Hallmark to bring the 4 hours of Golden Girls they used play in the morning. I wanna watch that while I get ready not the gawd awful talk shows they are trying to make happen (side eye Marie Osmand).

I know languages are different and all but isn't being able to carry a tune universal? Whomever sang that mess sounded like shit.
The show looks cheesy but I'm not about to clutch my pearls over it or declare the dead GGs are rolling over in their graves. The US has fucked up aplenty of shows from overseas - its probably overdue that some other country shits on one of our classics.
this is cute, but there is nothing, NOTHING better than the original .Period.
That sounds like the karaoke version of the theme song.
Maybe I'm a Golden Girls snob, but that theme song was painful and those 4 seemed to like each other too much...lol. Nothing can replace the original.
OH. MY. GOD.
So, I'm sitting here, watching Season 5 of Golden Girls, and then I see this.
But how will it be without the awesome lessons about race, class, and gender roles in 1980s America? How will the stories be if they don't start with "Picture it. Sicily. 1923..."? Will they teach us about such serious topic as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? WILL THEIR PENSIONS BE CUT OFF?!
I just don't know...

I think Loes Luca, the serious highlight lady, is Blanche. She has the low-cut necklines *(and was introduced right when the song got to dildo)*. Rose is the platinum bob. She put her hand up and giggled when she won at the roulette wheel (although in the American version Rose was very competitive).
*I heard the word "slurkle" too.
