Golden Girls - Reunion (complete episode)

- Just like the title says: Golden Girls - Reunion - Lifetime TV, 2003 (11 years after the final episode originally aired).
Obviously this is a very old video from old analogic times when TVs could only display 576 interlaced lines (in my country) and display blurry pictures with lots of noise and colors happy to bleed all over the screen. And I'm not sure as to why, but I only recorded the video with a resolution of 576/2, i.e. 288 lines. I seem to remember that my computer back then would choke on anything with a higher resolution and would start to drop frames like it was going out of fashion. So I decided to half the number of lines to make sure there wouldn't be skipped and dropped frames. Back then you only had one shot at successfully recording a show; it's not like you could catch up later on youtube or having it replayed on the internet back in those ancient times.
Now that I've said that, I am not completely hopeless at improving things and I'm exploring a couple paths that might lead to a better picture quality in the long term (hey Ty!).
Thank you for watching and thank you for pretending the picture quality doesn't suck real bad in 2023.

DON'T YOU DARE STEAL MY LINE
very boring in contrast to Mama's Family and Carol Burnett show. I never found any of it to be remotely funny
A non-misandrist show with a wonderful cast. What wasn't to love? Adore it!
I once met Bea in London and gave her a really good laugh. She was walking with a friend of hers in Holland Park as i was walking my dogs and when i saw her i went to her and her friends and asked if i could take a photo of her with my dogs. She loved dogs and didn't say no, then she asked me why i wanted a photo of her with my dogs instead of with me and i had to tell her the truth. I had four dogs whom i called Dorothy, Sofia, Blanche and Rose and because they were all female and were golden retriever i called them the Golden Girls. She absolutely loved it. She asked me which one was Sofia and she got on her knees and gave her a huge Hug.
Awww I loved that story thank u for sharing !!! 🐾🐾
Beautiful story ❤️
Wow❤
What a wonderful appreciation for actress Bea Arthur, the dogs and Kachi! So much respect, kindness and love!💗💗🐕🐕🐕🐕💗💗
Thank you for sharing this is such a beautiful story.
Rest In Peace Estelle, Bea, Rue, and Betty. Thank you for 7 season of great entertainment
The Best Show of the 80s 90s era. May they all rest peacefully. @Tim37214 that’s the exact order that they passed.
They are up there cracking jokes with God no doubt. Haha😂❤
@@eunicestone6532 actually Bea didn't like Betty so i highly doubt it
Yes Thank you
@@BlackGirlMajik 🙄🙄🙄🙄 your pathetic WOKE profile name tells me all I need to know about you, a BLACK LIVES MATTER Democrat always pushing your LEFTIST agenda, you people and your riots trying to always stir the race pot
I could be depressed as heck and NOTHING can make me laugh like The Golden Girls can. Will forever miss them
So very true!!
Yes I had gotten divorced and had 4 son's and worked constantly and my life was emotionally drained but this show started and I always made sure I was off because they cheered me up and was the only thing that made me laugh
Same!
I love that show. When I'm sad it is so good to relax with old friends.
Best show ever! I can’t believe they are all gone, now, with the passing of Betty White. I still watch every episode when it is on. It is a welcome escape from the present day turmoil.
I still watch it every day too. It came put when I was 14 I'm 50 now I still laugh or cry with each episode. You are so right it is a Vert Welcime Escape from our present day turmoil. We love you ladies
Me to. I'm watching it right now. RIHP GOLDEN GIRLS!!!!💙💙💙💙‼️
Yes the golden girls a great show I remember in 85when I was 18.May they RIP💐
@@lisaparsons4124 I'm even watching the Golden Palace!!
So true, honey. So true. 😪😪😪😭😭😭💔💔💔
This was one of the best written shows in TV history.
Lotta Sunshine: The other greatest was I Love Lucy 1952-1956 not the others after.
My daughter and I always watched the Golden Girls together. It's one of my top 5 TV shows ever 🙂. I can't even think about anyone else acting in those roles. If some TV exec. tried to do the show without the original cast members, I wouldn't even watch it. You can't improve on or change PERFECTION!
Yes absolutely. Susan Harris is known to have had chronic fatigue syndrom. Can't help thinking if I had to live with Rose all the time.. boy, most everyone would show symptomes of cfs
@@janl4706 the show brings people together 💙💙💙
THE BEST!
I'm so glad Betty is still with us and I miss the others.
me too I loved the GGs
me too
+Danielle Bevins I know right my mom and I always watched them all time on tv.
me too

How many are now watching Golden Girls episodes after Betty White's passing?
Every year members of the girls died I marathoned the show on Lifetime or Hallmark. Always felt like I lost a family member every time.
Definitely
I still find it one of the best show on TV that was made and kept going for 7 years. I look forward to the marathons that come up periodically. RIP: Estelle-Sofia; Bea-Dorothy; Rue-Blanche; Betty-Rose! Thank you for leaving such a wonderful ensemble and TV legacy! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I'm here after Betty White's passing. This show was perfection. I was born the year it first came on TV. And it's absolutely my favorite TV show ever.
Can’t believe she’s gone. My girls 🥰 Rip girls 🥰
Mine too, and I'm still saddened by our loss of beautiful fiesty funny Betty White 🤍
@@victorious1929 And she was the oldest of the quartet. We each have our own timeline as to when we return Home, although there are mitigating circumstances that cause some to leave early. They were all a delight 😄 The binge is on 👍🏽
@@Monica_Baja Hot In Cleveland...."once you go blackberry" 😁😄 She never missed a beat. Betty was full of inuendos. 😁
My favorite scene in All of Golden girls is the flashback scene of Rose, throwing a birthday meal with her late husband, in a past scene before she sold her house and moved in with Blanche and Dorothy. She is talking to her husband as if he is there, basically saying goodbye to the home that she shared with him. That scene is incredibly beautiful to me.
Rip Bea Authur, Rue Mcclanahan, and Estelle Getty you will always be the Golden girls.
Yess they were awesome
AMEN. 🙏 💛💙💜💚 💎💎💎💎

Betty White too
Lorraine Corso she still alive in 2017
Honestly this whole coronavirus lockdown would not nearly have been as good without golden girls. This show is insanely timeless. Absolute favorite.
I totally agree with ya they got me through a deep depression working my way out of it 💪🏽👏🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️
I started watching it again during the pandemic. Probably October. I LOVE it. Makes me laugh so much. I just leave it play sometimes to just hear it because I know the scenes in my head lol. I'm going through all the shows again. Love the Golden Girls!
I actually binged it twice in the last year LOL
Thanks for all the memories, and it truly keep me happy doing this virus situation, staying home and staying safe and laughs! Thank- you. Golden girls! Truly amazing and grateful!
Apart from it being absolutely hilarious, and the girls delivering their lines to perfection with each individual's characteristic, there's something very comforting about them and the show. Timeless. Hysterically funny. Unique. Addicting!
The best comedy show of the 80’s ... I still watch them until now over and over again.
Me toooo..I used to watch it with my grandmother 👵🏾 and I still watch it over and over.
Hol lehet megnezni magyar nyelven?
Me too . I hope they bring out blue Ray
Same here! I love Dorothy and Stan😂
Along with Cheers, The Cosby Show, Night Court, Amen, Mama's Family and Married... With Children.
Rest in peace to all of the golden girls. They know how to make everyone laugh. It hit us hard when Betty White had passed away
It hit me hard when all 4 of them passed away, not just Betty. But I get what you mean. With Betty still around we had a link to the programme. Now we just have the DVDs, reruns on television and of course our memories.
Oh my gosh... yes! I feel like I lost a second mother and I never met her!
Yes, I understand that sentiment. Each one’s passing was difficult and emotional, but Betty was the glue that kept that show alive for so many years after the 3 other actresses passed on 10 years or more before Betty. RIP Estelle, Bea, Rue and Betty. We miss all of you, but we are so glad we can still enjoy the reruns, DVDs, and marathons of The Golden Girls and be grateful for the legacy you left for so many fans!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Rest In Peace to Estelle, Bea, and Rue. I will forever be a Golden Girls fan. Hang in there Betty!
*AMEN* ❤
Rip and thank you for all of the great laughs...😍😍😍😍
My two sisters & I still watch the reruns. We still laugh..Still ❤ them Golden Girls!!
Melinda Kimball they’re hilarious
I can have the worst day, and they always make me laugh...no replacing these wonderful ladies...LOVE THEM!!!
One of the only sitcoms that never gets old. I can watch it over and over again.
M. Sheehan Every single night
That's great writing.
Golden Girls, Married with Children, The Andy Griffith Show, The Honeymooners, I Love Lucy, Frasier, Seinfeld, Everybody Loves Raymond, Barney Miller, Malcolm In The Middle, Sanford and Son, Mama's Family, The Jeffersons, Fresh Prince of Bel Air, All In The Family, Cheers and The Odd Couple are the most timeless and iconic sitcoms ever!
It’s 2019 and am still laughing!😂😂😂
Same here
I was watching Golden girls on Disney plus and my teenage son fell in love with the show. This show is timeless
I watch them every evening
There funny, humor and best show ever
It on disney plus
Couldn't agree more, awesome humour and burns... today's people are too sensitive for a show like this to even be made again😢
@@Roggen45 This and Married with Children would have some folks in their feelings today 🤣
I used to watch this show with my mum year after year. My mum passed away at 88 last year then Betty White passed and then all the great women in my life had gone. But I’ll always remember the girls and my mum and her laughs at the show, through watching the reruns of my girls
Sometimes when I watch the show today, I forget Betty White is the only one left.
So do I
SilverSpark Rants There's an episode where they talk about dying and staying together until the end and Rose has a line about "what do we do when there's only one of us left?" and it's such a cruelly ironic moment
SilverSpark Rants I know. It's sad to think about. At least we still have Betty.
SilverSpark Rant
Remember the line rose delivered: what happens when it's only one us left? Very eerie in that moment as u watch it today
"I'm not gonna stand for this!"
"Take it, Dorothy."
"But I'll bet you'll lie down for it!"
God, I love those women! :D
"Now that's just rude"
"Some people just don't know when to quit" lmao I freaking love this show
Dude! That is one of my favorite lines of all time. 'I said it before, I'll say it again sluts just heal quicker'.

“Rest In Peace To Betty White it’s been confirmed she passed today at the age of 99 years old just 2 weeks before her 100th birthday of January 17th she will be truly missed as a tv American icon” #AllTheGoldenGirlsAreTogetherNow🕊
I feel I lost my mother all over again!
My grandmother and her 2 best friends were considered the Golden Girls in their circle of friends.
All 3 ladies were widowed and lived next to each other in their homes in Southern CA.
Every Wednesday night I’d go over to my grandma’s house to that we could watch the Golden Girls together.
We spent our time laughing while watching the TV.
I miss those days and the laughter with my grandma.
There will never be another "Golden Girls." The talent those four women have is unmatched!
Mark Ashmann The British version was so bad and couldn’t compare to the original...
Golden Girls was the spiritual successor to I Love Lucy.
I think there could be because there are always wonderful talented older women in show business. In fact, the show was inspired by two other older funny women, Doris Roberts and Selma Diamond (who was also the inspiration for Dick Van Dyke’s Sally Rodgers).
I think Grace and Frankie is like a modern Version of Golden Girls.
@KL LWC what was the name of the British version?
Imagine the real reunion going on now . RIP golden girls. Finally back together forever.
There will never be another show like this one. I know these ladies are truly missed
Hello Susan
How are you doing today?
Try hot in Cleveland
Never
@@rickrollrizal2747 Meh, just a cheap knockoff.
This is once in a lifetime , television will never have a brilliant show like this again
This is 2020 and this SHOW IS STILL one of the BEST SHOWS EVER. I still enjoy the re-runs and I get the biggest laughs, here in 2020...... WE LOVE YOU LADY'S and ALWAYS WILL!!!!!!!! THANKS FOR THE GREAT MEMORY'S......!!!!!!
So true. I watch it once a week!
@@juliekmunden Only once a week?
Well, sometimes 4 episodes in on day. They make me laugh..
This show is being shown again in England at the mo, so happy to see it on again ❤️❤️
Still watching on Hallmark. If not for this show I think I would have gone insane during the pandemic. Long live the Golden Girls
I'd like to think they had a huge hug and some laughs as Betty joined them in the afterlife. Soar high 🕊 and thanks for so many laughs and tears ladies. ❤
I love that visual....🙏💗👵👵👵👵
and had their heads frozen :p
And Betty would have told a Saint Olaf story for old time sake…
I doubt it. They were just actresses. They were not best friends. Why do ppl do that when it comes to actors/actress? They make up these scenarios as if these ppl are incredibly close. They were just actresses who worked together on tv. When ppl do that, I question their sense of reality because their imagination is beyond imaginable to make up such scenarios.
@@CZcamsReady Betty was good friends with Rue
I don’t remember watching the Golden Girls when it was first on Saturday nights. And I was probably too young to understand what the relationship between them was all about. Now, I am much older than when these lovely ladies played their roles and can truly relate to their experiences in every performance. My only regret is that I think it would be absolutely wonderful in today’s world to be able to experience the friendship, support and compassion of living this type of life for real. There’s so many single women who live alone and far away from their adult children and I think out loud, wouldn’t it be great to always have someone to eat cheesecake with and talk things over instead of texting and waiting for a reply. I’d appreciate it if anyone else has thought the same.
I have thought the same thing. I am almost 63 but I've always wondered why more seniors didn't move in with each other and share the rent and other responsibilities. Would save on expenses and prevent loneliness. Will always love this show!
Blanche: I'm not going to stand for this
Sophia: Take it Dorothy
Dorothy: But I bet you'll lay down for it
Sophia: Now that was just plain rude.
Blanche: Some people just don't know when to quit.
Love these girls so damn much!😂😂❤️❤️
Brittany Davis Omg!! Too much!
😂😂😂😂
Hahahahahahahaha!
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
7 years was not enough
It was more than enough and should have ended two years earlier.
+T James no, but thanks for playing ;)
+T James Thank you, Mr. Grinch.
Lol! Even BA said the last two seasons were 'dreadful.' I'm sorry, but I have to say what I feel!!!!!
The reason it was canceled was because Bea was ready to move on so in a way seven seasons was enough
The look on Beas’ face when she heard the doorbell...omg love her!
My absolute favourite show. Timeless hilarity. May they all Rest In Peace🙏🏾❣️
Golden Girls, probably the only sucessful show I can think of where women over 50 were the main stars. I mean that same show probably wouldn't even make it to network today based on that alone, they broke boundaries and changed the world, true legends
No honey that just means you have taste
Hot in Cleveland (based on GG) was also very successful
Lee GaryB Hot in Cleveland is the modern version, and they reek of desperation
@Ryan Joseph tbh Hot In Cleveland ripped off GG almost completely so it's definitely not on their level. I never could watch that show much because not only that it ripped of Golden Girls but the writing and chemistry wasn't nearly as funny or good.
Grace and Frankie on Netflix is pretty good.
Update: I have to add S7 of G&F was released recently and I have to say the writing and everything is not the same quality as the first 5 seasons (I don’t care for S6 either). I loved every single episode of Golden Girls!
I want someone to write a book with illustrations of every St.Olaf story!!
Betty White should be the one to write it
@@TheOrigionalTurtle anybody can honor those stories :)
Yes! What a great idea 😁
I had same thought a couple days ago, that would be something!!!
@@mauricedorreboom5388 right! All they would need would be an illustrator, they already have all of the stories done. I would absolutely love that so much. It reminds me of when Rose and Blanche tried to write the children's book!
These were the days when TV was a pleasure to watch, if only we could have re-runs of these shows again.
I simply cannot imagine any other actresses playing the parts of these characters. This show was a break from reality and so fun to watch! My favorite character was always Dorothy with her quick wit and sarcasm.
My favourite was always Rose. But in order of the other 3 I would have to say Sophia, Dorothy and Blanche. But I loved all 4 ladies, but I always had a soft spot for Rose and still do.
Strange, I still watch it in 2020, and I forget that it was from the 1980s, it's still relevant today. It never gets old. My favorite sitcom ever.
Me too.
It’s been my Covid cure
The spin off The Golden Palace, is pretty good.
Me too. Will love love love it forevermore ❤️
Same
Definitely still a favorite for me
Blanche: I'm a woman he's a man. Dorothy: What am I? Little Richard?! LOL 😂
One of the best sitcoms ever written for television. Written for everyone, young, older, men, women, gay and straight!! It was an amazing show with amazing actresses portraying wonderful characters. PS, I don't want to forget Stan's character. He was awesome too!!
Every time the Golden Girls we’re on, ( I don’t remember if it was Saturday or Wednesday night), then I’d go over to my grandmas house and watch the Golden Girls with her.
My grandpa had passed so I would spend quality time with her.
She had 2 neighbors ( who were sisters that had lost their husbands too). The older people that they were friends with began to call the 3 of them, the Golden Girls.
It’s a good memory for me as my grandma died in 14 at the age of 93.
This is pure, clean, fun and nutritious comfort TV!! It is healthy for you and does not contain all the junk, added preservatives, sugars and chemicals like the Kardashians do!
The Golden Girls are pure, clean and fun TV!
KarTrashians? Oh my goodness! I've never watched one episode, nor would I watch Honey Boo Boo.
And your comment is SPOT on!!
It's not clean! That's why it's fun! It's pretty damn dirty.
Totally not the same era or genre or concept and us ordinarys can never down play the success of people we don't have
Bea and Estelle as Sonny & Cher... priceless :)
I am 43 yr old in 2021 and I watched this series with my Mom Mom..Oh maybe 1985 or 86. My father had military balls to go to, and functions. My sister n brother n I would go to her house. I was the oldest n stayed up with mom mom to watch Golden Girls! When I hear, it see anything to do with the series..It brings back smells of food I was eating, conversation I was having. Such beautiful times. My mom mom also passed away one night after sending us home. So long story, Golden Girls is my show i watch n puts me in a good mood. If I'm sad or depressed I watch. If I'm happy I watch. Just all the time. I cannot believe after all these yrs my daughter watches it because we watched it together! So now she is actually old enough to have babies so ....My grandmom..Me..my daughter will all watch. So many generations watching this funny wholesome show.
RIP Ms Betty White. I love uuuuu
I was in my twenties when I first started watching it, and loving it. Now in my sixties, the show still has that universal appeal! Thank you to each of you who brought us joy through this show weekly, and for the happiness and anticipation you gave to all my relatives of the “greatest generation.”
My case too! Watched in Europe while a student, now in Kenya almost retired, still watching....and laughing out loud at their clever comedy
That’s so dope. I’m 25 and just started watching it. The fact you were around my age and now they’re age. That’s so cool.
I think that this show was and still is one of the greatest shows out there. There never will be another show like it. If this show in 2015 can still make a 34 year old man cry with joy and laughter you know it will continue to be great for years to come and to generations that arn't even born yet. Thank you Golden Girls for Being a Friend.
Ditto - I'm a 34 year old woman and I adore it!!
This and Frasier for me!
2024 now and still being watched!!!!🎉🎉🎉
i loved this show when I was little me and my Granny would watch it together while eating orange slices
The first time I saw the golden girls, was when I was sick,at my grandma's house. I always think of her when I watch this show. Thank god she is still with us, and I love spending time with her.
I would do the same.
How sweet 🙏🙏💞💞😊😊
I absolutely love how many men like this show as well as how many of us all love it because we first watched with our grandmas
Betty white looked like my grandma did at 50, she was beautiful and passed away suddenly. Every time I hear the song or see Betty white I think of my wonderful grandma who was taken too soon..
Another beauty about this programme is it will never age. As we get older we can see a little bit of ourselves. All four fabulous ladies are now in spirit, but can you imagine the laughs! Thank you. ❤️
Rest in perfection dear Estelle, Bea, Rue and Betty. Thank you for being our friends.
The subjects they dealt with are still relevant today. Golden Girls hits the mark!
Yes and that's because they weren't dated of the time like tv shows are doing now. They dealt with HUMAN issues not political or topical issues of the day. Alzheimers, Homosexuality, Mixed Marriage, impotence, Ageism, Unemployment, Homelessness etc.
Jody Doherty HOW RIGHT YOU ARE! I couldn’t agree with you more & it is why we stopped watching late nt. talk shows few yrs ago( all politics). This is pure fun escapism but timely issues that we all face even today(menopause, old age, memory, divorce, marriage, kids, etc) but done so cleverly & with humor! Miss this series but love reruns!❤️
this show will never die
The best show ever! I loved it in the 80s and I love it still in 2022! Thank you for being my friend(s) Estelle, Rue, Bea, and Betty
My husband watched and still watches Golden Girls with me and he laughs out loud. He loves it! As I do!
I love hearing Bea Arthur speak in these interviews, you can tell she's just such a smart, good-hearted person. Love her so much.
monsterocket did Bea Arthur play the rather masculine part opposite Lucille Ball in Mame? wonderful actress but put with the others, just fantastic. they were all my favourites and complimented each other brilliantly. Sonny and Cher, Miami is Nice, tap dancing, cheesecake, etc. just to think of them makes me chuckle and for scripts like that, most comedienne would die for....
I've always heard that Bea was unbelievably difficult and mean! She used to do some shitty things to betty especially. It bums me out because ever since I heard things like that years ago, it really changed the way I watched the show.
monsterocket 🤗❤️
Smart, yes, but Definitely not good-hearted!
monsterocket She didn’t care for Betty White.
Rose: "Trying to find your underwear in the big pile?"
Maybe the best line she ever delivered.

GOLDEN GIRLS gets me through life. I need at least one episode a day to live! ♥️♥️♥️
RIP Betty White.She was a loving,caring and beautiful lady.Loved the Golden Girls❤
Always amazed me that Estelle Getty was actually a year younger then Bae Arthur but she still managed to pull off a character that seemed twice her age. A real gem of an actress we had there. Reminds me a lot of Ann Morgan Guilbert whom played grandma Yetta on the Nanny. She was only about 5 years younger then her daughter on the show Rene Taylor but because of the amazing actress she is we believed she was 40 years older.
kraXoom Estelle had make up
She's 5 years older than Sylvia
@@ladytruth303 betty is only like 4 months older than bea. Bea is a year older than estelle.
Bea and betty born in 1922. Estelle in 1923..
Im no math whiz.. but i dont think that's a 16yr difference lol
@@ladytruth303 she was 12 years older than Rue McClanahan, but only about a year older than Estelle.
I know this comment is years old, but for anyone reading that also loves Yetta, it might interest you to know that the actress who played her is also the mother of the actress who played Lucy, Blanche's promiscuous niece.
They don’t make shows this good anymore! Love these ladies forever
When I joined the navy in the year 2000, my best friend made me a cd when I went to boot camp. The theme song from this show was one of the songs. This song makes me smile
I remember watching the Golden Girls it was broadcast in my city Dubai it was one of the amazing sitcoms I ever watched, I didn't know that the late great Beatrice Arthur was in the US Marine Corps, RIP to the Golden Girls:
Beatrice Arthur ((1922-2008))
Estelle Getty ((1923-2009))
Rue McClanahan ((1934-2010))
Betty White ((1922-2021))
Estelle Getty died in 2008 and Bea in 2009
This is easily the funniest comedy ever. I still watch it and laugh like the first time I saw it.
What makes it so unique is all four main characters despite having different personalities are equally strong unlike most comedies which features a main actor and the others are like just fillers but the Golden Girls are virtually the perfect team.
Bea Arthur was a moron full of shit. She was the one that made the air in the set tense and unpleasant. As good as she was, to cast her was a huge mistake, even Susan Harrison regreted it. If Bea was not on the show, it would have run for another 3 or 4 seasons.
Well I can't agree completely because after she left the spin off didn't fare well without her though I think golden palace was a great show too. I don't know about what personal differences between them but I loved the way they acted togather . As with most TV cast members, pop groups, even regular work places there is always tension among members. Just like regular employees because they work together don't necessarily mean they are friends.
Adrian Lemarchal
Apparently you are the only one that feels that way.I feel she was great,and a great asset to the show.Otherwise she would have never been chosen,and gotten fired.
fairybits Huh??!! She got fired??!! I thought she got tired and resigned from the show. At least that's the impression I got from an interview she did.
It was lovely how they explained Estelle not being able to participate. She was already suffering from Alzheimer’s then. These women were all a class act. And while Bea may not have been close to Betty (Betty has always been frank about Bea not having the greatest affection for her offscreen), they were consummate professionals and treated each other with the utmost kindness and respect at all times. Rue and Betty remained close friends until Rue’s passing and they all cared a great deal for Estelle, who ironically, was the youngest of the four but was the first to leave us. Rue had a clause in her contract where she kept all of her costumes from the show and Betty had the opportunity to see them again after her passing.it was a very touching walk down memory lane. I can’t help but think of the scene when the four characters discussed what would happen when there was only one of them left and now there is only Betty, who just turned 99 last week. This show was my Grandma and my favorite show every Sat night and every time I watch it now it’s like having her back with me (she passed away suddenly in 99). When you create television that transcends time and transports you that way you’ve truly made something special.
It wasn't Alzheimer's. It was Lewy Body Dementia.
When Betty white brings up the fact that Bea wasn't too fond of her off screen she still very professionally and with the utmost respect and affection for her co-star still has the nicest compliments for Bea. Like what a great and talented actress she was and how she was very happy and fortunate to have worked with Bea and the other ladies and what terrific experience the golden girls was for her......Betty white is a terrific actress and you can tell she is a great person with a heart of gold for people,animals and the environment ❤you Betty white and the golden girls
Estelle was not the youngest Rue was
@@chriskay1449 Back then I am not sure if they were aware of the difference as they have many of the same effects. I knew a man with Dementia and even his wife could not tell the difference between that and Alzheimer's
And now Betty’s gone
There will never be another Golden Girls show. You can't duplicate greatness. I love them and until today, at night I watch them as I am ready to fall asleep. Such happy thoughts and memories ...RIP ladies, keep going Rose.
My sentiments in regards to this show❤️
Rose is still telling her St. Olaf stories up in Heaven. Dorothy will still be rowing with Stan, Blanche will be chasing every available man in sight and Sophia is just happy to be with her Sal once again
RIP Betty, you broke the streak of the girls dying one of the other Estelle Getty in 2008, Bea Arthur in 2009 and Rue McClanahan in 2010
On one episode the girls said Rose would die before the other 3 of them, during an argument, but in real life she outlived the 3. I miss all 3, I miss the 80s. I was born in 1984. Very sad how fast time goes, we all live and then die. Rue, Estelle and Bea made a legacy. RIP...
Betty has made a legacy as well, and I dread the day she's gone.
Thank you for being a friend
Nicely put👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
True very sad I miss them
That quote always kills me.
I got you beat I was born 1978, when you hit forty it goes faster your kids are grown they have kids if their own and you get to go back to school
R.I.P to Estelle, Rue and Bea. Three incredibly dirty, outspoken and damn hilarious women. Never has a show made me laugh and cry as much as this one has. Thank god Betty is still with us❤️🙌🏽
She's still kicking....amazing, for a while there i thought there was a 1 year curse, (each dying a year apart), but Rose broke that pattern. She's one that will live to be 100.
Rip now

So sad to say, Betty White passed away 3 days ago @ the remarkable age of 99. She passed on New Year's Eve, December 31, 2021. She would've been 100 in 17 days, on January 17, 2022. She was born on January 17, 1922. RIHP Ms. Betty White. The last Golden Girl.💙😇😪🙏🏻💙‼️
Now all of em
Just yesterday we lost the last of the wonderful Golden Girls, the incomparable Betty White!! Thank you for all the laughs and unforgettable memories!! 💜💜💜
When I first watched The Golden Girls I was a 20 something year old, on the verge of marriage (1986)and motherhood(1989) and now I’m older (58) than some of them. I think Rue was only 51 when she first played Blanche.
I’m binging on the entire box set, very useful at 3.30am when the menopause keeps me up most nights. I still laugh out loud at every episode.
Such a revolutionary show. Gays, lesbians, blacks, whites, young, old, everything. Golden Girls is timeless. I'll always love my girls.
Agree with you.
Then you should watch "Maude" ... cast includes Rue, no Betty or Estelle, but the show has all the elements you listed 😉
MsG. I watched maude as well...😄
Actually, the GG's made some pretty derogatory comments RE: gays through their seven-year run.
+T James Who cares?...
Estelle,Bea, and rue will forever be missed
The ending song made me cry. I will miss all of them, I wish one day I could have a relationship with people like they had with each other. Rest in peace ladies.🙌
We lost warmth. That's why watching these totally different ladies slaying one another in every chance yet standing for one another is like a warm blanket over us, a blanket that also keeps an endless tornado of laughter under it.
Never seen another show like “The Golden Girls” 😩
The golden palace
The Wendy Williams talk show ❤️
I'm only 14 and I love this old show. I miss old shows when they were actually funny :'(
Totally agree with you!
Please bring back the Golden Girls.a new remake. It's truly a great show. Way back..I really miss them a lot. Thanks and God bless.
I grew up watching this with my grandmother when it came out. R.I.P All My Golden Girls
I really liked how they didn't make Stanley a complete joke throughout the series but had him more sympathetic towards the end and how he and Dorothy finally put their past behind them and still carried their love for one another on. The final scene where the Priest asks if anyone objects, you can see the melancholy in his face and the reality that he knows he must let go of Dorothy and allow her to be happy again. A very nice job by the writers especially here.
that loyal hair on big crazy bold skull.

One of the best comic relief characters ever written.
Yes, love that too.
My favorite episode is where Rose doesn't tell the girls her date is a Dwarf, Blanche was Hilarious! Enters the room with the platter, says "SHRIMP"! And circles the room embarrassed, funniest scene I have ever seen on TV.
"Short rib." - Dorothy 😂
For sure it was 😂😂😂
That was funny 😂😂😂😂
Let me take you "height". I mean hat. ---Dorothy
Yessss lol
RIP to all of my Golden Girls. This show means so much to me, having grown up watching it when it first aired. Betty, I miss you most. Your quick-witted humor, kindness, generosity, open-mindedness, and love for animals has affected my life profoundly. You were one of a kind. 😿💔
Yes, she was the absolute best, no matter what role she played! She always could deliver a punchline so perfectly, her entire career! Even better than Lucille Ball, who was also a great comedienne. I remember Betty's very first TV show when I was about 10 years old, called "Life with Elizabeth" which was also quite funny, and I have been a huge fan ever since then! How she managed to stay so young at heart, and so beautiful even into her nineties, was absolutely amazing to see!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SHOW!! I used to watch it and laugh so hard with my Mom and I never stopped!! So sad to learn of Betty Whites death, but she lived a BLESSED LIFE!! 99 years!! Wow!! Like someone else said....ALL THE GOLDEN GIRLS ARE TOGETHER NOW❤❤❤❤!!!
Hello Linda
How are you doing today?
One of the best sitcoms ever made.
The Golden Girls will forever be one of my favorite sitcoms 😂😍.
Same here
Em G yes!
Design women
I still watch it❤
Same
RIP Betty White. I would love to think that there is a Golden Girl reunion in Heaven like no other. Seeing your 3 friends (Bea, Rue, Estelle or rather Dorothy, Blanche and Sophia) again. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sonny & Cher was my all time favorite skit - they nailed it in every way.
They absolutely did! LOL. So much talent.
“Doug Henning is
The mayor of Palm Springs ?” 😂😂😂
“BAAAABE”
My girls;) whenever I feel sad or down I just watch my girls and they make me feel better! I can watch every episode a thousand times and never get sick of them! The only episode that I refuse to watch more than once is the very last episode. As long as I don't watch the last episode, in my heart, The Golden Girls never really ended.
I completely agree with you! #goldengirls4ever
Oh me too!! The girls always make me feel better, sometimes I put the DVDs on at night and they help me to sleep. The only episode I haven't watched over 100 times is the final! Xxxx
+Sophia Sayegh I think the very last episode was Seems like old times from the Golden Palace. The very last time the 4 girls were together, and a very sad ending.
+Cindy Webb me too, it reminds me it ended. I dont watch the finale that often
+Sophia Sayegh yes I do the same thing ... the sense of the sitcom is actually about our parents and what comedy in the 80's is all about. I have all the series it was such an experience! I commend the wit of Susan Harris!!!
"Dorothy Zbornak was probably the only totally sane person on the show." Bea Arthur! That's why she was my favorite she was always on top of things. She was hilarious and also seriously down to earth when she had to be.
I loved Estelle Getty's character Sophia. Her one liners make me cry happy tears. 😂
@@blackwidow8412 me too
I loved each one of them and their own way! That’s what made them so adorable and funny 😄 I guess I’m a little bit of all of them mixed together! 😂
Bea Arthur actually grew up only an hour from where I live. Unfortunately, I'm only 42 and I never got the chance to meet her, nor either of our beloved TV friends, but it is pretty neat to know that I have walked on the same grounds, that our "Dorthy," has walked.
All the Golden girls are together again, RIP to these absolutely beautiful woman
Great show. When television shows were still tasteful.
I just can't imagine Betty as man hungry Blanche or Rue as naive Rose, they absolutely did the right thing in swapping roles.
The scripts are still funny today, you could use them word for word and they would still be fresh and current but I don't think you'd ever be able to find four actresses to deliver them as superbly again.
Betty White played a Blanche type character in Mama's Family that's probably why the producers though of her for Blanche.
Betty White played a Blanche like character in Mary Tyler Moore that's why Bea Authur wanted to switch them up because Rue played a kind of a ditzy character on Maude and Bea said she didn't want it to be like Maude and whoever Blanche played on Maude meets whoever Betty White played on Mary Tyler Moore
I agree Stuart T.....I can't imagine it the other way around either......I don't see Rue as "Rose"...Rue Did Blanche FAR TOO WELL! She had the WALK, the MOVES…...she LOOKED & TALKED the part!!! Betty just DIDN'T"HAVE" That.
@@twalston01 Rue played the ditzy Vivian on Maude while Betty played the man hungry Sue Ann Nivens on the Mary Tyler Moore Show.
Betty White was the man hungry character on the Mary Tyler show...She was exceptional in that role.
A true JEWEL!!! The Golden Girls cannot and will not ever be duplicated - unless Estelle Getty, Bea Arthur, Betty White and Rue McClanahan were perfectly cloned!! Oh my, I adore these women -- on and off stage. Unbeatable talent, fluid humor, genuine character representations, beauty and glamour, and unforgetably 'GOLDEN' !!! Ladies, y'all are alive in our wonderful memories.....always
Beautifully said 💓
2021 and Golden Girls is still in the top 5 TV shows of all time.
R.I.P. to the Golden Girls in Heaven 🙌💔😭, at least we have them forever on T.V.
I still can't fathom that three of these ladies are gone.
I wish the show still ran, never get tired of those ladies❤️
golden girls got me thru a tough time in my life i found them very comforting
WHO gives downvotes for the best written comedy television ever? I still watch it w my mom when we visit. It's her favorite
The last episode of the show I have never never been able to watch with out crying.
"You will always be my sisters" 😭😭😭 When she doesn't come back that last time...I lose it.
Just reading your comment makes me cry 😭😭😭😭😭 love the girls so much 🥰 I want them with me forever... and thanks to CZcams I can check in any time 🙏🌻💙
At least we got to see them together one last time when Bea guest starred in golden palace
Why did the show end??
