    I used to watch Golden Girls religiously when I was 7. I'm 37 now and looking back in my memory I never once saw them as old ladies. They were vibrant, smart, witty, hilarious, etc. even though I didn't fully understand all the humor and adult subject matter. They struck a chord with little me, and watching the show now brings back childhood nostalgia and renewed appreciation in adult me. The Golden Girls is timeless.

      And the funny thing is that EVERYBODY watched it! Older women of course but for damn sure younger women, straight men, kids, teenagers, plenty of black folks trust me and certainly Gay men have an affinity for it as well. I remember growing up a straight black boy I was stunned how much I loved a show about four older white ladies LOL. Hell the late great DMX was a fan as well.

    As a 40 year old gay man, this show has become my family. I own ten copies of The complete series of The Golden Girls. In the 2000's I would go to my local Barns & Noble store and buy the whole series all the time. I think by 2010 I stopped buying the series. I am so sad our own network Logo does not show the reruns any more. But, I am glad it is still on Hallmark network and Tv land network are still showing the program. The Golden Girls has been on Hallmark since March 2007, I am afraid as the years go by Hallmark might take the show off their network.

    I actually think out of them all that Rue is the most sensitive, loving and warm person of them all. Her words were heartfelt and open and she wasn't frightened to admit she cried when the producer left.
    Obviously Bea is an amazing lady, very expressive and powerful, and bloody attractive, my kinda woman, a one off, and her astrology chart is similar to mine, but Rue is the one I'd go to with my troubles, Bea the one for the passionate affair and Betty the sensible, pretty but funny best friend.
    I always liked Estelles portrayal as Sophia but somehow could never warm to her as a person but don't know why.
    The series was that good, I could relate to these beautiful ladies like friends and lovers. It was magic, the writing, the vibe, the sets, the clothes, the everything.
    I was totally mad for it as a small child when it was on UK TV and Rose was my girl, I adored her. Now I'm grown up I have fallen for Dorothy.
    It's still as fresh, clever, biting and sardonic as it was back in the 80s and this documentary really nails it. It's not just about the actresses it's about everyone who made the show what it was which is important.
    Hell I hate cheesecake but I'd even eat that in celebration of the best sitcom ever!
