You "love" your own comment? LOLOL
@valentinahernandez7291 it keeps it up top.
when l.make a particulaly good comment, l'm not above liking it. But two likes is better--- me and someone else ☮️
@@richiejohnson So you got my like. ;)
I was like 13 when I was watching this show. My friends used to laugh when I told them this was one of my favorite shows. Being a 13 year old black dude from the hood, this show wasn't made for me, but it was funny!! It's a classic.
😂😂😂 BEST ❤
Bea Arthur was in The Jefferson’s and, then, she got her own show, Maude! Then, Betty White she has a long history with tv and, when, I started growing up in the 70’s, I first watched her on the The Dick Van Dyke Show, But, they all were on the Mary Tyler Show and, they all were guest actors on a ton of shows for generations and, also were in movies through out their career!
85, I was 14 when this show started, I was watching it with my parents off and on, and now I'm closer to their age I am more understanding them such as much more fun to watch and make me more laugh, I'm watching the re-runs on cable channels off and on if I catch one probably till I die , you would never forget the era you grew up.
@@sonyafox3271Bea was also a cousin to Edith on All in the Family.
Not being racist and a genuine question who would you cast in an afriacn american version 🙂. Jackee would be one of my picks
I'm a Black man. I used to watch this show with my family, and while I was in college. Still do. This show grew my fondness of cheesecake! I don't care what anyone says, this show was for anyone!
Agreed.
I'm a white woman. Some of my favorite shows were The Jeffersons, Stanford and Son, Family Matters, The Cosby Show, and A Different World. I agree with you. All of these shows were/are for everyone.
Ohhhh cheesecake….
@@tsgrandma9837Same! Loved Golden Girls as well as 227 with Marla Gibbs and Jackee Harry! Race didn't matter. Comedy is comedy! 👍

ATTENTION HOLLYWOOD. PLEASE DONT DO A REMAKE OF THIS SHOW. WE'LL ENJOY THE RERUNS INSTEAD. THANK YOU ❤ ❤
They can make whatever they like.😅
🧢 I think an updated tasteful version could open a new generation to TGG it’s even got LGBTQ story’s and it’s set in Miami 😊 gotta be done right though js
They can't do it again.
It would fail.
They ruin everything.
I second that! Ignore everyone else, 🙄
@McRcFly They, as you put it, green light such shows they as you say made the shows all of them good and bad.
Estelle Getty nailed it as Sophia.
I’m happy that they didn’t cast Rue McClanahan as Rose.
Yes Rue played the character as Blanche very well.I could not see Betty White doing this role as a slut.
She had already done those types of characters on Maude and mamas family, so blanche was perfect choice
I'm glad that Rue and Betty switched roles
Rue played the ditz on Maude, and white played a hussy on Mary Tyler Moore show. When they agreed to change roles, it worked for all involved.
@chrismcevoy2503: Rue McClanahan looks like my Aunt Gertrude. How wild is that!!? They should have just cast Rue McClanahan as Gertrude!
I have watched every episode of this show numerous times. One of the best in television history.
Yes it was
It’s my comfort show...remember watching when I was young with my mama..she has dementia now so my memories are priceless ❤❤❤😢😢😢 i leave it on while I do chores or things ❤❤❤❤
Have a friend from Africa she loved this show
It’s still funny to this day ❤
Absolutely one of the best SITCOMs ever!!
I miss Rue, Estelle, Betty, and Bea so much. They felt like my friends. They made me laugh, and I loved them. Thank you, my girls!
I love when Sophia says to Blanche “Thank you you bed hopping relic.”❤
Estelle won an Emmy in 1988, not 1998.
Always have loved and much admired Bea Arthur, she was AMAZING in this role and so was she as Maude !! They really hit the nail on the head with the entire cast of The Golden Girls !!
I remember seeing her as Maude on All in the Family going up against Archie.
@@nannettepolcastro4799 Oh, she was such a strong character that demanded much attention!
Rumor has it bea was really shy very shy .
@@peggypasson8794 It was also well known and even her son had spoken of how Bea had been hurt and offended by writers and producers making fun of her rather towering stature, I actually thought she was quite an attractive woman!
@@TRguy64but she was only 5ft 9 or 10.
You are wrong; Rose was already written as naive. During a casting session, Rue and White switches and read their roles. Originally, they wanted Rue for Rose, and White for Blanche. They switched reading the rollss one day during a casting session. THAT is how Betty they ended up in those parts, NOT the nonsense you say in your podcast. If you're gonna post stuff, post the truth.
Yes.
It wasn't the Producers' idea to offer Betty the role of Rose.
They were typecasting Betty and Rue for their roles of Sue Ann Nivens (The Mary Tyler Moore Show) and Vivian (in Maude). It was Jay Sandrich, the Pilot Director, who watching Rue read for Rose noticed she wasn't right for the part, so he asked her to read Blanche, she nailed it. Then and there, he decided the switching of roles.. 🪻🌿
@@aleolidemu6169and also Rue was asked to get Bea on board.
Yet another fact this author left out. He also neglected to mention that Rue's southern accent was her own idea and about the mysterious exclamation mark etched into the inside of the door. This should have been told by a diehard fan of the show.
@@saxyben81 And Bea's response was that she didn't want to do a show about "Maude and Vivian in Miami...." but it was Rue telling her that she was going to be Blanche instead of Rose that convinced Bea to take a chance.
I’m glad the actresses played the roles they did!
My mom took me to california for my graduation gift my aunt lives there and she got us in the audience to see the golden girls.the episode with the woman who was flirting with rose as rose was oblivious 😆 great episode! I didnt know bette white was young!...😉
🙆🏾♀️ Hell, 🌹 done had bout 5 careers!! RiP GiRlS!!!!🕊️🙏🏾🕊️🕊️🙏🏾🕊️🥺
Oblivious?
@@RhondaB4thesong yes. She's oblivious to the woman's advances until the woman confesses her feelings for Rose. The woman is Dorothy's old friend Jean.
OMG how awesome was that ❤️❤️
I can’t imagine any other “rose”. Brilliant actress. Bea didn’t want the part, but rose to the part. The earrings was interesting. Sophia, she made that show! Getty was truly iconic. Blanche was perfect to round it out. Rue is a legend. Perfect casting, brilliant writing and iconic acting. I loved this show! Such warm memories.
I still watch this (now classic) daily...
I can't imagine another Blanche either! Rue embodied her so brilliantly!
I have the DVDs! This was brilliant! My favorite sitcom of all 😢!!!
I do as well at 64.
I' love the Golden Girls Show, and I still watch them in the evenings. I too am a Golden Girl at age 65.
One of my favorite episodes is where Dorothy talks about scooping her boobs out of her armpits when laying on her back.
At 16, I cracked up. At 56, I understand... and still crack up.
They were great i miss them
Bea and Rue were good friends IRL. Rue was the one who got Bea to do this show. I just read Rue's book and while there may have been some tension with Betty, which was due more to the difference in their personalities, they didn't hate each other. Rue said that the 4 of them would go for lunch every day and Bea would insist on waiting to leave til all were ready to go. Like any relationship, especially ones that last years, you're going to disagree or get on each other's nerves from time to time but it doesn't mean you hate the person.
These women were a part of my young adult life. In the 80's all the way to the 90's when the show went on syndications/reruns. Loved every single character.
I made my boyfriend who was much younger than me watch it and he ended up laughing and loving it. My co worker loves this show too. Bought me a golden girls coffee cup for Christmas because she has one. It’s a show for all ages. It’s just funny
Am I the only one that is annoyed how he pronounces Dorothy’s last name? He is saying “zee bornak” and it’s pronounced “Zbor-nak”. Smdh
The voice is AI generated
It's because of stupid A.I.
I have watched this show since I was 5 years old. I was raised t my great grandmother and she loved this show. Every Friday night a new episode would come on, I was a little kid and didn’t appreciate it then but, when I got older (in my teens) I found myself watching this show and it was very comforting for me.
I still watch it and I’m 40 now.
It’s crazy how I didn’t realize I was taking in this show and what a special place it holds for me.
RIP to all four ladies!
Amen.🙏🙏🙏🙏
Beatrice Arthur actually hated cheesecake.
3 middle aged women and an elderly woman.
Middle ++ and aged ++ ( Sophia 's supposedly 100 hahahaha)
This show was hilarious 😊
I feel like the dialogue in this video was made using chatgpt
Yes, AI narration.
These ladies are legends. They played their roles wonderfully. May they RIP. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
would watch it again for the 10 time and still find it hilaroius
Personal opinion: if you care about your possible audience, and want to make money from it, at least provide a real human narrator.
True, and you can tell it written by AI too....lots of wordyness and bla bla bla and not much real info🙄
Every section sounds like the first paragraph of a bad article.
All four actresses were different characters & positively brilliant & soo funny.
I was 23 when this show first aired back in '85, and I was hooked. To this day, I watch the seven seasons repeatedly enough that I can recite any of their dialogues (drives my husband nuts lolol). Unfortunately, I also became a critic about the storyline inconsistency over the years. The writers could not keep track of simple but important timelines. Largest example: Dorothy and Stan had been married for 38 years, she being pregnant as the reason, yet neither child was 38 years old. Kate and Michael were far younger (one episode has Dorothy state Michael is 23 while his fiance is 44). Or the different genders of both Rose's or Blanche's children and grandchildren. But having said that, and now that I am FINALLY their age, this show will always have a special place in my heart.
Along with Gilligan's Island and Green Acres, The Golden Girls was among the best comedy shows ever made for television. Oh, there were other important comedies, but none where you smiled the entire episode, every episode.
I could never imagine anyone other than Estelle playing sophia.
I knew estelle was insecure, but she really became Sophia, and played Dorothy's mom perfectly.
Bea said she had a hard time liking someone who was always so positive, and happy. No one can be that happy all the time, Bea once said. A bitter sarcastic aging actress, would have an issue with a lighthearted jovial type of person. Bea knew she was hardened, and she did try to lighten up around betty. Besides, with betty around, even the grumpiest person finds themselves smiling.
I named my first car Blanche ❤ I love this show so much !! It’s 2024 and this show STILL has me laughing my ass off 😂 long love the Golden Girls and may they all rest in peace
You failed to mention one fact regarding Rue's portrayal of Blanche, which is the southern accent. That was her own idea. You also failed to mention the mystery of the exclamation mark on the inside of the front door.
I've never heard of the exclamation mark?! 🤔
I always heard two versions about that [the door] .. the first being that Bea Arthur put it there and that it was damaged when it was installed .. whatever the case, it was always distracting!! LOL
And you're correct in your other comment about the facts being well known by fans! I remember watching this the first night it aired and watched up until the end of it in 1992 [and then The Golden Palace on CBS!]
@@MD_B Agree that it was distracting indeed!!
He felt the need to explain the lack of a chair with its back to the audience? Anyone who's ever watched a TV show or a movie, or gone to a play, knows that's standard practice.
One of my favorite shows I wish my mother was alive.She would have loved loved this show.I can watch this show over and over again and necer get bored.🎉
Thank u Golden Girls, for all the great laughs!!!❤❤❤❤
I still watch this show a few times a week♥️♥️ it’s crazy to think all the women have passed on
I love when Blanche sang I see London I see France I see Blanche’s underpants.❤
This show was before its time, most of the shows topics are still current today. This show had clever witty writers who wrote hilarious and serious storylines intertwined in one episode, that is difficult to do. Along with the acting skills of Bea, Estelle, Rue, and Betty this successful show will forever be a template for other shows to follow.
Idk about before it's time....Imo it's more the world hasn't changed as much as it should've by now and it's quite sad that some of the topics on the show are still an issue 40 years later.
However love the show as well, a classic definitely.
They were not elderly women, except for Sofia.
When the show started Blanche was 52 years old and Dorothy and Rose were both under 55. That's middle age lol
Like what they say... They don't make those kinds anymore!
I was a big fan of The Golden Girls.
The planets were definitely aligned when these women were cast for their rolls. They were magnificent and will forever be America's Golden Girls.
Although I know everything has a beginning and end, I really miss the Golden Girls. One of the best series.
Elderly woman?
Yes. I am 56 and just the other day i was told to be careful as i am aged in by my Dr. . I was shocked.
They were elderly women. Anyone older than you are is considered your elder. We only view the word negatively.
I watched this even as an elementary schooler. With my mom or my paternal grandmother (who reminds me a lot of Sophia). Dorothy and Sophia playfully teasing each other reminds me a lot of my and my mother and it was our mother/daughter show. Anytime one of us was depressed or upset we would put on Golden Girls and eat cheesecake (sorry Bea). Later, after my mom and dad got divorced the show hit home even more as me and my mom got even closer. I wish these ladies were here today for me to tell them just how much they mean to me and how much of an impact on me and my childhood. I cannot watch without tears either of happiness or sadness. Even used to joke with 2 of our friends we were gonna grow up to be the golden girls. ❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰. Rest in peace queens you don’t know how loved you are and how missed.
I loved this show, i used to watch it with my mom as she would iron my fathers shirts for work.
The Golden Girls is one of the most beloved shows
I love love love it
Just finished this show for the first time. I’m 20 years old right now (born 2004) and it was way before my time, but I feel like it’s a part of my life in a way. I miss all of these gals dearly despite not knowing them.
Bea Arthur was shy.
@chrismcevoy2503: NO WAY!!! Neither was Elaine Stritch!! They're both 2 of a kind.
@chrismceboy2503: No way!!!!
I knew the Bea Arthur didn't care for the rest of the cast and they knew it. That there was always something going on backstage. Just shows you how talented these women were.
@debbywoobe...: That's true and I think the lines were planned accordingly and can be clearly seen that way. I can also only imagine that Elaine Stritch wouldn't care for the cast either and would be just as much or even more so very hard to work with. Let's say if they cast her to be Dorothy's Sister.
"elderly" ? ? ?
Love that show and will watch whenever possible even if I've already seen the episode(s) many times.
Betty White is the kind of older lady I wish I was. Beautiful and a lovely spirited woman.
This video is full of inaccuracies and comes across as a bunch of clips just quickly put together in terms of the repetitive narration. I had to stop watching halfway through.
As a true die hard fan, this isn’t new news. But great video!
Since you are a fan, as I am, I know you also noticed the deletion of important facts, like Blanche's southern accent and the etched exclamation mark on the inside of the door. All of these "unknown facts" are very well-known to fans, as well as the facts left out of this video.
Estelle Getty won the Emmy in 1988, not 1998. 😊
❤I love this video..thank you for this info..one of my favorite shows 🥰
Sophia was always my favorite. I have her picture in my cube at work. Love her!
Betty White born: Betty Marion White
Beatrice Arthur: born Bernice Frankel.
Rue McClanahan: born Eddi-Rue McClanahan
Estelle Getty: born Estelle Scher.
The Golden girls with my mom's favorite show
Nice video thanks... you lost me at ... cheesecake though 😅😅😂😂😂😂😂😂
Such a nice video. Thank you!
As a young gay boy in Miami back in the day, we'd be at the local watering hole for the run up to the Golden Girls coming on tv on their particular air night. As soon as "Thank you for being a friend" song came on, the house fell silent, and all eyes were on the tv's scattered all over the bar. Nobody moved, and we all laughed with the girls. It was an event everyone looked forwards to. Everything stopped until the show was over. Only then could the night continue !! Oh, to be young again !!!
I'm glad that in the end these ladies got the roles. They nailed it. Good job Awesome
Kind of cute this (young) man calling them "4 elderly women." They were middle aged, still working. I'm now at the other extreme where anyone under 60 is "young!" 😮 😅 Well done video. Thank you! 👍
Great video. Absolutely addictive to this show. The best if tye best
Brillant video thank you
The interesting thing is that they were in their 50s but dressed like they were in their 70s..., Because of how they dressed, I thought they were much older than they really were. Rose was my favorite, I miss Betty White, I loved her St. Olaf stories, & the dance competition where Betty shows how talented she really was will always be my favorite scene :) I can actually see Elaine Stritch as Dorothy, both had a sharp tongue, that would have been interesting.
Loved this show & ALL the ladies. After watching the show, I imagine the chapters after retirement will be similar while still having lots of fun, enjoying friends (or not), eating, laughing, dating/relationships but above all still LIVING LIFE ❤❤❤ RIH lady, job well done ❤❤❤
It’s odd not to mention the show “Maude” that Rue and Bea were both on. They worked together before.
Bea Arthur was just a miserable grumpy human being who couldn’t stand that Bette White was just so much more personable
And that came across on-screen at times.
@robertmiller5516: At one time Elaine Stritch was going to be considered to play Dorothy but her vile language put a damper on casting her. She'd probably give the other cast members in the Golden Girls a very hard time and really hard to work with. Her ways were also very similar to Tallulah Bankhead when it comes to doing her things her own way disregarding what the directors would want.
I have always loved Betty White
It seems like time just flew by from the show's beginning in 1985 until it's ending in 1992. I never missed a single episode. I was 24yo when "The Golden Girls" started, and 31yo when it ended. My life changed a lot during those years. But I never let life get in the way on Saturday nights when the show was on. It was my favorite TV show. I watched it a lot with my grandmother, who really loved the show, as well. Great memories. I sure miss my Mema's laughter.😢
I love these ladies so much that I hope there will never be a remake. Having said that I am sure a show called Golden Guys could be a hit. Put 4 grumpy old men in a house together and see what their lifes are like past their prime.
Fun fact Bea Arther was a Marine, I salute you!!!
The only thing that irked me about Sofia was the fact he character was born and raised in Sicily, but didn't have a Sicilian accent, it was more of a Brooklyn accent.
You don't lose your accent to gain another, no matter how long you're in a new country or setting.
Estel Getty was a stage performer on Broadway for any number of years before being asked to read for the Golden Girls- she had been a stage performer starting in her mid to late 20s and received many accolades in her performance in Torch Song Trilogy. She was a staunch advocate for the LGBT community!
Think the Emmy in 1998 is wrong for golden girls… for Estelle Getty.
Great show.
My favorite episode of The Golden Girls is Isn’t It Romantic? where Sophia rents dirty movies.❤
Rose Nylund introduced them all to cheesecake.
Not all elderly, but middle aged. ❤
Used to watch this with my grandmother back in the 80s. Today i have all 7 series on dvd and watch when i need cheering up. A good tonic.
Rue def set the stage in marking her wardrobe on the show hers. This was iconic in business and life. Talk about a player ❤
I loved this show and loved every one of the characters. Now at 74 I appreciate them even more today. I will always miss them.❤
Las ropas atemporales, maravillosas prendas muy actuales ❤
I saw the show from the first episode,to the the last when it was on air. ❤❤❤
Like a lot of Gen Z kids, I had some.rough days, growing up. This show was a favorite of mine, from day 1. I wanted to be related to amy one of these ladies, or even better, live with them.
They represented everything safe and secure and funny that my mind cojld ever long for❤
What a terrific show this was and a dafe time and place for me.
I still enjoy this fantastic show!
This was one of my favourites. I wish they would put it back on again. Australia 🥰🥰🥰🥰
This narrator says a lot but doesn’t really say much at all. He is more focused on articulating rather than telling the story. Fell flat
You could never replace any of these 4 women and still have a hit. They were the best. May they rest in peace.
Favorite show of all times. I watch it laughing over and over again like it's the first time. ❤
I used to watch this with my mom and Aunt Ronnie. Bea Arthur reminded me of my Aunt Jean. Love the show. Rue and Bea were on the show Maude.
Lost good producers
We don’t have them anymore
I would love to have a piece of Blanch's wardrobe, I had no idea the collection went up for sale.
Never, EVER remake The Golden Girls. Just make it more widely available. Y’all will never be able to recapture this moment in time. Each actress brought a unique and beautiful perspective to the series, the longer it played.
"The Page Of Wonder?" The only thing I'm wondering about is WHO decided to use AI narration for this otherwise interesting lookback. It's bad enough to have to listen to mispronounced names of actors, plus a tired droning voice in every sentence! Z-bornak..?? Give me a break!
I loved this show!
