the slut = Blanche = Samantha
the "innocent" = Rose = Charlotte
the cynic = Miranda = Sophia
the sophisticated center = Dorothy = Carrie

granted Florida doesn't exactly = NY, but maybe Florida is where all the Sex in the City girls end up eventually....

From The Glossary of Literary Terms:
"The Old Comedy of the Greeks had three stock characters whose interactions constituted the standard plot: the alazon, or imposter and self-deceiving braggart, the eiron, or self-derogatory and understating character, whose contest with the alazon is central to the comic plot; and the bomolochos, or buffoon, whose antics add an extra comic element....Northrop Frye has revived these old terms [and] added a fourth, the agroikos -- the rustic or easily deceived character."
Obviously: Alazon = Blanche; Eiron = Dorothy; Bomolochos = Sophia; Agroikos = Rose

― The Milkmaid (of Human Kindness) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 18 August 2005 17:35 (twenty years ago)

that's the "sequel" sitcom - Golden Palace. (ie, the girls run a hotel sans Dorothy but plus Don Cheadle and Cheech Marin!)

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 18 August 2005 17:36 (twenty years ago)

Dorothy was at the same table as Don Cheadle! She was mediating a divorce between his parents.

― The Milkmaid (of Human Kindness) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 18 August 2005 17:37 (twenty years ago)

I had no idea Don Cheadle had to suffer through such crap to get where he is today... I guess that's kinda standard tho... the other night he had to explain to Blanche why the Confederate Flag was offensive = *yikes*

I'm just gonna say it: I love Beatrice Arthur. She sang a great rendition of "Barbara Song" in the broadway version of Threepenny Opera too.

― The Milkmaid (of Human Kindness) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 18 August 2005 17:52 (twenty years ago)

I'm fascinated by who would want to paint a nude portrait of Bea Arthur...

Both GG and SITC were disproportionately written and watched by gay men! (One can only hope the straight women who 'idolize' the SITC characters will discover themselves having morphed into the Golden Girls around 2040, only without Social Security!)

I like those Currin paintings altho/because he seems creepy.

the golden girls makes retirement look like so much fun! now they should make a sitcom that shows old people living alone with their smelly cats in dingy third-floor walkups, and they work at wal-mart because they have no pension or social security or concerned relatives.

― s/c (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 18 August 2005 18:45 (twenty years ago)

oddly, my favorites from each show are the naive/innocent ones - Rose and Charlotte... I dunno what that says about me... probably something creepy. I have always loved Betty White's schtick, for some reason.
