This is what happens when there are mysterious cookies in the office kitchen and I eat too many of them. I get hyper, and I get ideas that are possibly a waste of everyone's time. You don't have to read this, is what I'm saying, but how cool would it be if some network executive went completely insane and decided to reboot the Golden Girls using pre-existing older lady characters from past and present shows and somehow the legalities worked out and we got to watch the awesomeness every week? The following is my dream cast. Please play along!
I say we keep the show in Miami (say it thrice!), and in the house we have recent widows:
From Arrested Development, Gangy!
From Gilmore Girls, Emily Gilmore!
From Castle, Castle's graydar-casting, drink-swilling, show tune-belting mom, Martha! (If you haven't seen the show but are a fan of all things fabulous mature woman, I highly recommend you check it out for her alone.)
From Two and a Half Men, Evelyn Harper! (Again, if you don't watch the show, first of all I don't blame you, but she's played by Holland Taylor, who is marvelous no matter what she's in.)
Recurring guest stars:
Gangy's evil twin, from 90210, Tabitha Wilson!
Martha's Manhattan associate of scandal, from Heroes, Angela Petrelli!
Evelyn's jazzercise buddy, from Burn Notice, Madeline Westen!
So yeah, Angel needs to monitor my sugar intake better from now on. But seriously, who would you like to see on this fictional show that would never happen in a million years? I'm thinking about doing a follow-up post about their rotating roster of mature beaus as well, so leave your bids for them below too!

I'm not even a fan of the original Golden Girls, but this is a DREAM cast! I would so watch this!
What about Jack's mom from "30 Rock," played by the indefatigable Elaine Stritch?
Or the crazy polygamist cult compound mom from "Big Love" (Grace Zabrinskie)? That's a catfight I'd pay good money for.
Where's the diversity? How about Lupe Ontiveros or Aloma Wright?
Cloris Leachman
Emma Leroy from "Corner Gas" could mop the floor with the lot of 'em. :)
*smacks forehead*
Completely forgot about Lilian and Vivian Charles from "Pushing Daisies"
*chastizes self thoroughly*
