i should start watching GG reruns. people really seem to love that show and the actresses on it, more so than other shows. anyways, i wish Rue a speedy recovery.
GG got me through some really depressing times. It’s as fresh today as it was 25 years ago. The best comedy show ever.
Same here. It is one of the best shows to watch when you are feeling down. T
When Blanche needed heart surgery she got right back up on the proverbial horse and Rue will too. You’re a tough & sexy old bird and I love you to pieces!!!
That’s right! And- we can all sing for her the song Rose and Dorothy did:
Over There, Over There
Send the word, send the word,
Over There…
