Episode 177 & 178: WE'RE HEADS!!
The Girls crash a local high school reunion with assumed identities such as the ever-popular prom queen Cindy Lou Peeples and the class B Susan Armstrong. While it seems like a load of fun, things quickly take a turn when Rose is rushed to the hospital with a cardiac emergency. Kierstan, who apparently lives in Miami now (?) comes by, Blanche finds Jesus while entertaining her daughter and granddaughter, and Sophia does the best Scandinavian accent we've heard yet. A wild ride fitting for the penultimate two-parter of the greatest television show of all time.

Episodes 174 & 175: Moonlight Madness!
In the final cross over with Empty Nest and Nurses, officially called Full Moon over Miami, all hell has broken loose at Blanche's moonlight madness party. Men are totally ignoring her, except for Derek ah...sumpin, they're all over Dorothy, Miles and Rose might get married, and Sophia is out here trippin rabbis. A wild romp that ends with everyone just accepting that the moon makes people crazy sometimes.

Episode 173: Off to the Rusty Anchor
Dorothy is perfectly content watching Amazing Discoveries (it just shucks it off!) but Blanche insists she come down to The Rusty Anchor and meet some men. Dorothy ends up bringing the house down with a 'little ditty' that sends Blanche into a green with envy (or maybe magenta with envy?) tailspin. Meanwhile, Sophia, Blanche and Rose plan Sophia's live wake.

This podcast needs a cookie!
I learned about Enough Wicker from Out on the Lanai and So Good We Named It, and I have binged the episodes for the last two months. Lauren and Sarah provide insightful reflections and helpful research on each episode of my favorite television show. I really appreciate the care they have shown this show, and I highly recommend that all Golden Girls intelligentsia listen to this show.
Too much giggling.
I like the conversation and dissection of the episodes, but the one with the deep voice giggles too much, almost after every sentence, and it's so obviously forced.
So good we named it!
I’m a BIG GG fan and so happy o found this podcast. When I listen to it, I feel like I’m with friends. I like they dig a little deeper into each topic and are also funny! Can’t wait for each EP. THANK you, soooo much.
