Estelle Getty. Wasn’t she in Dynasty or Dallas or one of those shows?


No.

But she DID play Sophia on Blossom, Golden Palace, Nurses, Empty Nest, and Ladies Man.

She was a regular "Richard Belzer as Detective John Munch"...

...also, she was one year younger than Bea Arthur, her daughter on Golden Girls...

Well, @RVACane already had Bea Arthur...

...so it was either Rue McClanahan, Betty White (the dumb one), or Estelle Getty (the sharp-tongued one)...

...and if I ever become a Maude, I'm taking Estelle Getty...
Sorry, I already claimed her.

How could you forget arguably her biggest movie credit?

I didn't forget. I was simply pointing out the striking number of shows on which she played Sophia, beyond Golden Girls...

Although Belzer played Detective Munch on 11 different TV shows...hard to beat that record...

One of my favorite deep-cut lines is from the first season of Homicide, when Ned Beatty keeps saying "Detective Munch...Detective Munch...Detective Munch..." with various voice inflections.

2003 - no new WRs signed (I believe Devin Hester enrolled, but he signed in 2002, THANKS, CHUCKY AMATO...)
2004 - 4-star Lance Leggett, Khalil Jones
2005 - no WRs signed
2006 - 4-star Sam Shields, George "Hands of Stone" Robinson
2007 - 4-star Leonard Hankerson, Jermaine McKenzie, Daniel Adderley


2004 WR stats - Leggett was 5th on the team with 17 receptions, Khalil Jones had 0
2005 WR stats - Leggett was 6th on the team with 15 receptions, Khalil Jones was 13th on the team with 2 receptions
2006 WR stats - Leggett was 2nd on the team with 38 receptions, Shields was 3rd on the team with 37 receptions, Khalil Jones was 12th on the team with 5 receptions
2007 WR stats - Shields was 2nd on the team with 27 receptions, Leggett was 3rd on the team with 15 receptions, Hankerson was 11th on the team with 6 receptions, Khalil Jones was 14th on the team with 1 reception
2008 WR stats - Shields and Hankerson were tied for 9th on the team with 11 receptions each, Khalil Jones was 13th on the team with 5 receptions

Five years of recruiting. Seven recruits signed.

Five years of play. Brutal results. Two guys went over 30 receptions, both of them in 2007.

That's 190 receptions by 7 guys over 5 years. Malachi Toney will beat that, by himself, in 2 years.
And then when you have dry periods like that pre NIL, you had to overrecruit to compensate. So Shannon’s 2008 class had 6-7 wide receivers.

Which meant that no one wanted to come to Miami in 2009. And then we only signed one wide receiver in 2010. And just two for 2011.

So three wide receivers in three season, which caused a massive overrecruitment in 2012.

We really didn’t have a stabilized wide receiver room until Richt arrived.

Yep. We were feast-or-famine in recruiting. Binge, then purge. It was awful.

The ONLY guy on that list who had multiple good years was Hankerson. Imagine adding ONE consistently good WR in FIVE YEARS. Sam Shields finished his career as a defensive back. And I have no idea why Lance Leggett flaked out. All the other guys we signed were just 2-star and 3-star cannon fodder.
