We rated a nod in the AV Club’s roundup of Twin Cities holiday shows:
If you were more interested in MTV than The Golden Girls in the ’80s, or your current TV-watching habits don’t include the Lifetime network, do yourself a favor and get to know Blanche, Dorothy, Rose, and Sophia. Those old broads were funny, like your grandmother around the holidays when she’s had one or two drinks and starts telling dirty jokes. This culture-meets-kitsch mashup isn’t the first foray into Golden Girls territory for director Matthew Foster; several years ago he re-wrote Anton Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya to include the gray-haired quartet. In the Dickens remix, three classic episodes will get wrapped up in sweet nostalgia, ribaldry, and lots of cheesecake.
