'Golden Girls' Blanche Devereaux vs 'Sex and the City' Samantha Jones: Who wins?
If you're feeling sad at the news of Rue McClanahan's death and need a hit of her flirtatious "Golden Girls" character, Blanche Devereaux, here's a compilation video of her appearances on the hit TV series.Does Blanche remind you of anyone, like say, the fabulous modern day uber-cougar Samantha Jones on "Sex and the City?"
There's a good reason for that. All the SATC characters bear some resemblance to the "Golden Girls."
Carrie, (closest to maternal Sophia Petrillo) Miranda (clearly the Dorothy Zbornak) Charlotte, (definitely the ditzy Rose Nyland) and Samantha (a dead ringer for man-crazy Blanche) were clearly inspired by these feisty old "Girls who combined sexy banter, earthy comedy, 'Real Housewives' personality clashes, rivalry, true friendship and great comic timing.
Which reruns do you enjoy more? "Golden Girls" or "Sex and the City"? And who's funnier? Do you prefer the veiled innuendos of Blanche or the shockingly graphic remarks from Samantha?

How is this even a question?! Blanche by a mile. Now I'm off to enjoy some cheesecake on the lanai.
Blanche all the way!!! No one better than her ... off to eat some cheese-cake too ...
Blanche wins by a long shot no one could ever come close to how Blanche was on The Golden Girls in my opinion Golden Girls is one of the best no the best show about a group of women ever
Blanche wins, period. No question about it. I could watch The Golden Girls re-runs over and over without getting sick of it. Blanche, Sophia, Dorothy and Rose never fail to make me laugh. It was the best TV show about women, ever. Rue, you will be sorely missed.
Blanche wins, hands down. Her character is not only funny, but endearing. Samantha is too cold and nasty to be lovable.
BLANCHE WON IT HANDS DOWN. SHE'S SO FISTY FUNNY I COULD HER ALDAY LONG. SHE WAS GOOD IN ALL THAT SHE DID. I LOVE YOU AND REST IN PEACE RUE McCLANAHAN.

Seriously, Blanche. Sex and the City has nothing on Golden Girls.
