Summary
"The Artist" (December 19, 1987)
Over the years, we've shared a lot of laughs with the girls on the laini, but our journey with the four horniest seniors in the history of Miami has come to an end, as "The Artist" is the final gay episode of The Golden Girls that we have much to say about. It's a slight episode, in terms of gay rep, but it actually has a lot to say about the show and the way gay men relate to it, we'd rager.

| 0:36.9 | I'm Drewmacky. I'm Glenn Lakin. Glenn, what beloved series are we discussing possibly for the final time? Oh, I don't know. Some little unknown show called Golden Girls. That is correct. Specifically, the third season episode The Artist, where the gayness literally comes in at the last moment, kind of like that one episode of Mary Iron Moore. |
| 0:54.8 | Well, it's Golden Girls, so there's always gayness. |
| 0:57.6 | Yes, there is more here. |
| 0:59.5 | But this is what I wanted to do because despite not necessarily being like a gay classic |
| 1:05.2 | where there's not as much gay content as you might expect or want, |
| 1:10.1 | I feel like it actually does have some interesting |
| 1:11.7 | things to say about the show and fandom around the show and gay attraction to the show, |
