We never got to hear how Rose was radioactive but I bet it was something like this: " Jorgen klassfurgen the richest man in St Olaf decided to build a nuclear powerplant in St Olaf, after the plant failed and was closed, Bessy the cow drank some water that the people of St Olaf thought was polluted with nuclear waste. After she had some milk from the cow everyone in St Olaf thought she was radioactive.
No remake or whatever of this could EVER replace the beauty these actresses brought into American televisions and homes. No spin-off could ever replace the balance of the 4 women. RIP Bea, Rue, and Estelle. You will never be forgotten.
@@SLOTHSRIDEUNICORNS or... just that it wouldn't be as good because of many many factors..? Plus Golden Girls made huge milestones in fighting for LGBT rights and so on at the time so. I mean the show was like a mini-Big Bang imo.
True, although she did appear on an episode or two of Golden Palace. If I remember right, Bea wanted to leave The Golden Girls after season 7 & the producers, rather than rejigger the show without her, simply decided to end it. Perhaps they changed their minds & decided to give the Bea-less show a try, but regretted it soon enough.
@@ericandy88 As much as I missed Dorothy, I still enjoyed Golden Palace. But let's face it, it was bound to fail if not for Dorothy, then for the setting of the show. I mean three elderly women running a hotel, how many plots can you create before you run out of ideas? It doesn't really give much room. They should've just stayed in their house and continued their lives without Dorothy. it would've been better than buying a hotel.
Or another extra piece of the puzzle, since this wasn't part of the puzzle that Dorothy even considered when finding one extra piece after the puzzle was thought to have been completed.
Because Rose usually isn't that forward about that stuff so Blanche probably wanted to take advantage of that moment Rose decided to mention her being radioactive
Then there is that "Jealous much?" glance back at Blanche after she tells Dorothy to shut up. I developed most of my humor from Dorothy's comebacks on this show, but there were times like that when you wanted to say, "Don't push it, Zbornak!"
This show had incredible writing, fantastic actresses and was ahead of its time. You could identify with one or all of these wonderful women in some form or another. If you didn't you knew someone who was. I think the Golden Palace didn't do so well was because this show was built on the foursome of these women and they each brought something to the show that could only be done by them. When the spinoff came around and Dorothy wasn't there, the show fell off. It didn't feel like the Golden Girls anymore. Now here's what I would've done, Dorothy and her new husband Lucas could have bought the hotel that the other girls were moving to. Maybe Lucas and Dorothy wanted to relocate to keep an eye on Sophia.
Losing the house was also a bad idea. During GG's run, the kitchen became the de facto fourth character. The hotel's cold/sterile kitchen was not a good substitute.
Every once in awhile, I imagine an Italian, feistier version of Who's the Boss' Mona being basically Sophia at that age, which suddenly makes Dorothy's character make even more sense.
"Golden Girls" was one of the best of the best shows. The cast was an excellent choice and long enough away from "Mary Tyler Moore" and "Maude" for the audience to disassociate the characters. The script was so well written and played it all seemed very spontaneous and real.
I love all of the Golden Girls equally. However, I think that they all have their best moments and I just think that Dorothy and Sophia are tied for first and Rose is only behind by one or two.
sophia reminds me of my grandma her size and how she talks, but the words that come out r nasty like my mammy. I am much taller than my grandma like dorothy. And I think the three women r a combo of one person. rose is the naive side who wants to beleive people r good and not lying to her and sees the world with rose colored glasses. She wants to think the world is better than it really is. blanche is the sexual confident side that knows she really needs a man to be happy. there r people who lie and say to a woman u do not need a man to be happy it is not true. maybe some can make it as a single, but most women r meant to be married. for me personally I was always lonely. I coudl be in a room with 400 people and still feel very lonley because I had no intimacy.Sex is also a biological human need. for my body was on a 24 hr cycle i think I needed it every 24 hours.blance is on a quest to find a man because she knows she really needs one. and dorothy is the smart decidion making leader who everyone wants to be or wants to follow. none of the women seem very happy what is missing is a man.
@brucesv912 If you watch old episodes of "All in the Family," you'll notice something similar. Whenever the family sat down to eat at a round table, they all sort of faced the audience, starting with Meathead on the left, Gloria, Edith, then Archie. This was very useful, of course, in that it forced Archie and Meathead to argue across the women, and thus allowed the gals to interject words into the dialogue.
@NataliaWeronikaD I always wondered why they just didn't get a bigger table so that all four ladies could sit at it and still not block the view from the camera/audience.
Didn't Blanche herself explain a story that involved herself and Warren Beatty? (Sure she didn't, only that she used to tell the same story changing the famous charachter and the place where she found him).
So...there are four women living in the house, but only three chairs at the kitchen table. Blanche had to pull up a stool. I know this was pre-Ikea, but I'm sure they could have found a table with four chairs somewhere!
@rockhopper10r when they used to shoot sitcoms with live audiences all of the actors had to be facing the audience and the 4th chair would have been on the side of the table nearest to the audience so had blanche sat in it her face would be pointing away from them...if you notice pretty much all sitcoms do this. hope this sort of answers your question lol
"... So, Rose, you say you were radioactive..." among the best evah!
We never got to hear how Rose was radioactive but I bet it was something like this: " Jorgen klassfurgen the richest man in St Olaf decided to build a nuclear powerplant in St Olaf, after the plant failed and was closed, Bessy the cow drank some water that the people of St Olaf thought was polluted with nuclear waste.

Spectrum this coment is so underrated.
Spectrum I love how true this is too. You really nailed it.
I would’ve thought she’d just say she got at a job a radio station...
And Mr Kinkledorf wouldn’t sleep with her..
I love you man

how is the delivery of "the time I was radioactive" so perfect
the golden girls are so amazing
She looked so proud of herself after saying it too 🤣
love the detail of dorothy who keeps staring at her mother
And also the hateful look Blanche had on Dorothy when Dorothy said she never had a story about a man who refused to sleep with her.
@benleung6331 Its crazy how Dorothy usually would get the least dates and then get dumped first yet doesn't have a story about her being turned down.
I think the ladies equally balance each other out which was lacking in the Golden Palace spinoff without Dorothy.

"Well, there was that time Warren Beatty passed up the chance to sleep with me."
Sorry, Sophia. 5 words too long.
But take out the "Well, there was that time" which adds nothing and it's exactly 10 words.
Well Blanche only asked Rose to spit out her story in ten words or less, she didn't demand that from Sophia
The shortest rose story ever
She was radioactive......as Dorothy would say, “Well i think that completes the puzzle!”
Or an extra piece of the puzzle.

I learned from the best. Bea Arthur. :)
Jesus she did it in 5!
Rose was right.
Now I ACTUALLY want to know more .
i love the look on her face, kinda like she was hiding a deviously funny secret.
i love rose she's the reason i watch the golden girl every night
Incredible how Blanche chose Radioactive Rose over Warren Beatty!
Because Rose usually isn't that forward about that stuff so Blanche probably wanted to take advantage of that moment Rose decided to mention her being radioactive
"Golly, I sure don't" .. lol. priceless

Cuz I'm radioactive, radioactive...
Rose told a story in only five words - miraculous!
I love all of rose's stories..even this one
We'll miss you Bea! :(
And Estelle, Rue, and Betty!😢
I love you Betty White!,😂😂🤣🤣❤️
Her witty look at the end! 😆

I actually wanted to hear that story.
But I guess 8 people are already radioactive.
Rose has such a satisfied look on her face, ha
R.I.P The Golden Legends 👑👑👑👑.
...So how did she wind up radioactive? 🤣
Rose being radioactive? I wouldn't put it past her.... :)
Well if it can turn some people into the Joker I guess Rose would be the other end of the spectrum.
I love my girls!
St Olaf stories snd all the girls are great but Sophia was by far my favorite.
Just because she was so evil sometimes.

omg...sooo hilariously random!
Like..the one story I wish she did continue...lol.
@GhostFearMe i love the story about how everyone in St. Olaf are descended from the same brother and sister! lol
gotta love rose
Broadway3 right
I took a quiz and got ROSE! WOOOWHOO
Rose Nylund likes to tell her Saint Olaf stories&Sophia Pertrillo likes to tell her stories from Siccily
I like the fact that Sophia's story was so unbelievable that Blanche turned back to Rose again. She would rather hear the radioactive story 😂.

eepruls because big screen TV hasn't been invented yet back in the 80s😂
@rockhopper10r lmao the other chair was behind sophia at the little desk,they just hardly use it
Didn't Blanche herself explain a story that involved herself and Warren Beatty?
(Sure she didn't, only that she used to tell the same story changing the famous charachter and the place where she found him).
1st comment I love this show rose and sophia are awesome

It's a framing style common to television. You can't have someone's back to the camera.
Rose was my favorite golden girl but those saint olaf stories were so annoying
@rockhopper10r when they used to shoot sitcoms with live audiences all of the actors had to be facing the audience and the 4th chair would have been on the side of the table nearest to the audience so had blanche sat in it her face would be pointing away from them...if you notice pretty much all sitcoms do this. hope this sort of answers your question lol
@scuzzbuzzproductions It's hard to pick the funniest on this show. Today Modern Family is this kind of show.
What's radio active?
@Bryon414
Lovely character!
@brucesv912 Thanks. I knew that. :)
