Rest in peace Miss Betty. You were an icon who will never be forgotten.
Thank you for the laughter!
I'm 1 of those new audience who discovered Golden Girls on reruns on TV. The reruns on tv ended and I still can't get enough of it so I watched it on TH-cam. Still watches it once in a while.
I have loved this show for 30 years. How I wish i could've met them all, just for one day. What a great documentary.
It really is, I enjoyed it.
Amen to that. This show is intertwined in the lives of its real fans. Thank you to all involved in creating this masterpiece of a sitcom.
I’ve known this show for 11 years now and I am 14 years old and still obsessed!!! #GoldenGirlsFan.
RIP Estelle, Bea and Rue. Continued health Betty
I never thought Rue would ever die. She just seemed timeless to me. I've been a fan of Betty since her MTM days and I hope she lives forever!
I just found out Estelle actually had dementia. I was shocked.
RIP Betty x
RIP Betty and all the Golden Girls. Thank you for the laughs still to this day. No one can watch an episode and not have a laugh. It still is a go to after a bad day!
@@mandyfoster8084 I watch it every night! Never gets old!
Hands down, THE BEST show on television, ever!!!🤗
Bea's passing just hurt me so much I was so upset. Then came Rue's. Im forever grateful that these ladies have influenced my life the way they have, ive watched the show all my life and I just turned 25. I modeled my sense of humor after Dorothy who was my favorite. Alot of the things Dorothy would say, I would say.
It is sad but their legacy will live on forever. Betty White is still going strong I'm happy to say. There was even a practical joke that went around on Facebook etc, containing a News Site with the Headline "Betty White Dyes Peacefully at Home"... I was initially shocked, but what I, and others failed to see at first was the Word "Dyes".... It was about the story that Betty White's Hair is not natural Blond and she "Dyes" it at her Home. It's quite funny.
@@soeffingwhat aaa
It's 2024 - I still watch The Golden Girls religiously! Love Love Love it!
"I look like Barbara Bush... but cute." LOVE Bea Arthur. And all the girls.
I discovered this TV show after Betty White passed away, then I started to search on TH-cam about this show. After watching several episodes, I felt sadness coz all of them was passed away and I will never have chance to see them or see them again on the TV. I was born in 90's but i started to love this show and all of the girls especially Dorothy's character 😁. There's an episode that I was laughing so hard and got my eyes to tears. The 4 girls was a legend. RIP Estelle, Bea, Rue and Betty. 😢
Betty White still alive you idiot!
As a child I watched this show with my Mom and now I watch it with my twin one year old Daughters. They will come running when they hear it start up and those famous words and song start "thank you for being a friend." It was fond memories for me growing up and now it's getting new fond memories to add to it. Just love this show, and these ladies. They are friends to more than they will ever know.
It just doesn't get any better than "Golden Girls", "catching lightning in a bottle" was what happened. What amazes me as one who was a teen-20's upon initial airing to now being 49, I NEVER tire of watching shows, ever. I keep several on my DVR just for that "comfort food TV" that it is, was and always shall be. I've seen every episode at least 6 times, many I've seen 20+ times. To me it's that good and just never ceases to entertain & comfort me. Thank you for posting/sharing this, I really enjoyed behind the scenes of one of the best shows on TV ever, by far!! ❤️👑🎭 Entertainment Royalty, beloved...
What a perfect way to describe it. "Comfort food tv". Exactly.
I just began to watch this show a month ago and I couldn't help but go crazy because of these 4 ladies, especially Sophia 😊
Beautifully worded! I'm starting to rediscover them from my childhood. Looks like I got the next year planned for some good comfort food TV :)
What a sweet documentary. I was 10-17 when they were on the air - much of my childhood! And I just finished the entire series on Hulu. Even in 2020-2021 watching it, it's so timeless.
Exactly the age that I was!
Its 2024 and I am just watching the show. Its an amazing show. Thank you for all the laughs.🙏❤
when i was young and my mother was still a housewife, she would watch this in Italian in the morning as she was cooking. being only 2 or 3 and speaking or understanding no itallian, i fell in love with this show and looked it up years later. it brings back so many good memories ^^
I was born in 1992 and what happened to you happened to me, I came across it on Lifetime and I fell in love with the show. I just loved these ladies
The Golden Girls got me through a childhood of loss and tears with a little laughter.
I love this show so much. I am 31 years old and I can remember watching the golden girls when I was a kid. I watch these videos all day long at work. It is the best, always.
I've recently rediscovered the show. It was one of my grandma's favourite, and I love it now 20 years later. IT's got a bright new different colour from when I was a child
OMG I was only 15 yrs old when I fell in love ❤️With these LADIES 1985 “The Golden Girls”. I still watch all the re-runs.❤️❤️❤️❤️.
RIP to these beautiful fallen queens
Did you ever meet Betty?
Golden Girls marathon over here :) I wasn't even born yet when they made this show i was born in 1988! And i love this show. My favourite character is definitely Blance. Haha love that woman. They all are the best! :)
I remember watching reruns of this show with my mom when I was 3 years old. We would go and drop off my brothers at school, and then come home and turn on the Golden Girls. Being that little back in 1999, I never really understood what the ladies were ever talking about, but something about that show kept my attention...
RIP Golden Girls! You will love on through your great work!!!
Thank you for posting this. I love the Golden Girls(my fave show ever) and this was an absolute delight to watch.
Though i only knew GG early this year I automatically fell in love with them and consider them as my happy pill 🥰🥰🥰
The flaw in the Golden Palace script was that the three remaining golden girls had to give up their original home. That transition was crucial to the comfort zone of the actors and the writers. With their old home intact, they could have added a new member of the household, like a character of Wanda Sykes or Whoopie Goldberg or Rosie Perez who will also be working with them in the hotel. That would have been really interesting and challenging.
I grew up watching the golden girls with my mom. This series will always be apart of my life. Thanks for uploading!
Thank you for posting these. I enjoyed it almost as much as I enjoyed the television series.
The golden palace could have been great... The writing was a bit weak...too many characters and not enough distraction from the fact Dorothy is missing. Should have opened up with Sophia jet skiing Miami beach, blanch sun bathing and picking up the cabana boy, while rose is trying to manage the hotel. 😜
It felt like they tried to make changes, while not upsetting the old audience. They needed to focus on a few aspects, and hone in on that direction.
i didnt like the child character at all.
@110245518390841869666 Bea DID NOT hate Betty. Bea and Betty absolutely adored each other. The only thing was that Bea was very serious on set and preferred to take the roles seriously. Betty always wanted to be energetic and funny so that occasionally interfered with how Bea wanted the atmosphere to be. That's it! Besides that little small nitpick, both of them admired each other greatly.
Oh and btw, there have been some interviews with the ladies all together, squashing the theory that they never did because "Bea hated Betty".

@Ed Miller She could care less!!!
There was no big feud. Probably got on each other’s nerves that’s it.
I'm 15 and I have loved this show for 4 years already
I watch golden girls every night from 12am til 2pm. And ill never get sick of it 3
RIP Estelle, Bea and Rue. Betty white is still going strong... God bless the Golden girls
RIP
One of the greatest shows in the history of television! I watched it in the 80's...I still watch it now!
i will always love this show, because it´s pure comedy gold. please, give the writers/directors credits too
This show has brought me so much pleasure ever since I was a kid. It is truly a rare gem. Brilliant entertainment. I will always appreciate and love the Golden Girls.
I absolutely adore these ladies. And now that kids like me (I'm 20) are discovering this show, these girls will continue to spread laughter and tenderness. R.I.P Estelle Getty, Bea Arthur, and Rue McClanahan. Forever Golden.
this is one of the best shows aired on tv and i adore this ladies for bringing such a new perspective at that time in the lives of our elderly...truly a gold will always be gold regardless of time =)
I’m part of a new generation that has just discovered the show and LOVIN IT! ❤️
Rest well, Girls. Particularly my favourite, Bea. Miss you.
Thank you for being a friend. ❤️
Rest in peace
It's been 15 years ago since the show stop when they made this documentary... and it's been another 15 years now I watching this documentary~
After watching all nine video clips, I decided to make my comment on the last. I was 15 when the show came on and at 16 went away to Germany for one year as exchange student, came back and never stopped watching the show again… Never! I watch them on Hulu this very day and all I can do is weep that they are gone but smile because they are always near. Girls, thanks for the laughter.
Thank you for the memory! The Golden Girls still live on even if three of the women are no longer with us.
I'll never get tired of the golden girls, but it took me almost a year to start watching it again after Betty's passing.. Now they're all gone, but forever our friends thanks to the best TV show ever made 💖
And I always think: "when do you do your homework?" lol I love Betty White!
I loved Bea as Maude especially that catch phase ( Godda get cha for that ). I still use it sometimes. I also loved her and Florida.
Along with millions of fans, I became a huge fan of these four ladies. Heart broke 3 times in 3 years with Estelle Getty, Bea Arthur, and Rue McClanahan passing away. Betty White remains and she's 90 now. Love these ladies and miss them. God bless them all.
I am so grateful TV Land & Hallmark still show this show so I can watch them each day, love my GGs
I remember watching GG when I was a kid and enjoying it. The only episode I could recall watching as a kid was the one where Sophia gives their neighbour the evil eye. I watch the show today and wondered if I even got half the jokes, but it just goes to show you how a show can have so much charm that it can attract such a broad audience. My absolute favorite show of all time, nothing could ever match it.
Love watching those awesome reruns!! Miss the "girls".
RIP Bea, Estelle and Rue you'll forever be missed but we'll always have Golden Girls to keep us laughing and remembering y'all! Golden Girls will forever be loved :)
imagine this, betty didnt know there was gonna be another successful show after she did the mary tyler moore show. then there was the golden girls and she didnt expect there was gonne be another one. then there was hot in cleveland. bless her.
When the show first came on. We had just arrived in the united States. I didn't know a word of English. I practically learn how to speak English with them on.
I remember watching Golden Girls as a kid growing up, when it first aired. I told my mum the other night that I am older now than she was when the show started airing.
Love watching golden girls it was one of my best childhood comedy tv show growing up. My mom used to walk in the living room and growl me and my siblings from watching the golden girls because it was addictive to watch and plus none of our chores were done. Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣 thanks for youtube 2019 I still watch the golden girls like it was back in the 80s and 90s.. much love ladies thank you guys for the child memories.❤❤❤🤧
9/9 loved this!!!!
I discovered this show, last week and I’ve binge watching it for the past days on Hulu that at the end of the day I have some of that Blanch southern accent lol 😅. Just love IT!! And thank God n Dezi for the reruns 💜.
To think, Betty White was the oldest, but now she's the only one living. I love this show. Have since I was a kid
Betty white passed away 12/31/21. Rest in peace to her beautiful soul. 😇
Thanks so much or this video. I'm a big fan of the girls! :))
I still watch this show!!
I always thought they should have given Golden Palace another year to find it's way. It had promise, with Cheadle and Marin. The boy was unnecessary, though. Anyway, this show was maybe the perfect show, the perfect coming together of great talents. Thanksfor posting this. :)
I agree...wish they had given it a bit more time....
awesome doc, thanks so much for posting!
What Betty White said about teenagers who would write her letters saying that they would watch 2 shows in the morning and 2 shows after school, that was totally me (without the writing letters part). I would do my homework during commercials though. Those ladies showed me how to age with dignity and grace. RIP Estelle, Rue, and Bea. You are forever Golden.
Thanks for uploading this nice documentary. They rest in peace now, but as the golden girls they got immortal. I was and still I am a huge fan of this 4 ladies. Now I`m in the age of the golden girls. Sadly they don`t show it on TV anymore so I was happy to get the whole series on DVD in my language German, so that I can watch it as often I like. It's still as amusing as when you first saw it and when I feel down and sad, this series put a smile in my face. Thank you Bea (Dorothy), Estelle (Sophia), Betty (Rose) and Rue (Blanche) for being a friend forever.
The Golden Girls reruns are currently on The Hallmark Channel, CMT, and TV Land!
My grandparents, my cousin, and myself watched the NBC line up, that included the Golden Girls back in 1985, I was 12 years old then-and loved the show then. When the episodes went into syndication on one of the cable networks and as I have matured over the years, the jokes are even funnier. The writing and acting on GG's was superb! Although they are no longer on the earthly plane. These four ladies will always be apart of my life and in my life.
One of the best shows ever.
Oh thank you so much, this is so nice to see that ! :)
I loveeeee them! Im 20 now but ive been watching them since i was aboutttt 16. Im watching it right now! I recorded them on my dvr. I get excited when i see a marathon coming on hallmark! I wish i was born in the 80's to see this show while it was fresh! Im a definite golden girls fan!!!! R.I.P rue,estelle,and bea. Betty's holding it down!!!!
That was amazing. Thanks for posting.
MaryGirl Moody OMG YOUR WATCHING THIS TO
Thanks for sharing that, it was insightful and alot of fun :D
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this documentary. I watch The Golden Girls religiously, every day. I know what's gonna be said, I know the episode but it really doesn't matter. I just enjoy watching the show, I love it. I wish I was born when it originally aired, I was three when it ended. I just remember watching this on a sat at home when I was a kid, I can't even remember how I started watching it. Lol obviously the jokes went over my head but I did enjoy it, and now as an adult, I over love it and it gets funnier every time. This is by far my fave series (in addition to The Nanny and Sex and the City). ❤ R.I.P. to Estelle, Bea and Rue. And I hope that Betty keeps strong. ❤
Bea Arthur's Barbara Bush line xD she had the best sense of humor. And what a great documentary!
I wish ppl would stop trying to make it out that Bea was a bitch and didn't like Betty. Bea and Betty were friends for years before the show. Bea was also very shy and reserved, and Betty was outgoing ... they had very different personalities in reality. So Betty got on Bea's nerves while working together, big deal ...
karrtt1234 Exactly! I wish more people understood that.
Betty has said that she didnt think Bea liked her though
ABSOLUTELY SAD THEY ARE ALL GONE NOW.. THEY ARE BRILLIANT ENTERTAINING THE FOLKS UP THERE WHERE THEY ARE NOW!
Incredible series! Thanks for sharing!! I enjoyed it.
It is sad that Lifetime took The Golden Girls off their network in 2007. The Lifetime episodes had less editing done on them and also Lifetime would cut to two commercial breaks. When The Golden Girls was picked up by the Hallmark channel in March 2007 the episodes were horribly edited would and still show about three to four commercial breaks during an episode. Then Logo and TVland also got The Golden Girls, but their networks show same editing as the Hallmark versions. Lifetime said in 2007 that the show had run its course with them and that is why they choose not to renew their The Golden Girls contract.
If someone leaves you because you have cancer... they’re not worth keeping.
Its 2017 and a golden girls clue board game has been released. The fan base keeps growing.
I sure do! I love it! The Golden Palace, yes!
I actually discovered the Girls when I was 12 or 13, and I've been a fan ever since! I'm 28 now and have all the seasons on DVD, and I enjoy seeing things like this on one of my favorite shows! ^_^
Oh, I love those girls to pieces
Best show Ever
Lance Boone absolutely right
The sad thing is that the Golden Palace was actually quite good. (The adjustment to get rid of the kid character really brightened things up.) It just wasn't a great show like Golden Girls. If it hadn't been a spin-off, it probably would've sold better.
I discovered this show in one of my psychology courses and my professor told us the general plot of the show and I told myself, "Yes, this is a perfect time to take a nap" but I was laughing from the very second she pressed play. Golden girls is just one of those shows you can relate to, whether your 15, 20 or even 80. There is no age limit. Just a Perfect show! I watch all the re-runs every weekend! =)
Your psychology teacher showed you all Golden Girls?! Haha! I sincerely hope that wasn't in college when you were shelling out big bucks for your tuition! :) Nothing against Golden Girls, of course. I do love the show.
@@jennhoff03 - I can see where certain episodes would be a good vehicle for discussion in a psychology class. They dealt with real world problems that people dealt with in their own lives. Discussing different approaches and how them may or may not work is part of psychology.
One of the big issues is that many problems that people might have are not age specific.
this series was great thank you. i wonder why the golden palace didn't catch .. i really loved it :(
Today's divas should take note.
I love this so much!
"And I always think when do you do your homework?" LOL
All gone...RIP
The best show on the planet!
By then We had dallas and dinasty on portuguese Tv that I hated and never watched.
Absolutely brilliant! So funny!!!! I laugh and laugh with this comedy and I never do!
Just discovered this and I'm in love with these 4 women! 😁
So amazing 💜 😊
Still love the golden girls on hallmark channel - lol funny!♡
I miss Bea! Soooo much.
Betty White is INCREDIBLE!!! Sweet, smart, entertaining, gregarious, & not full of herself. Oh & I forgot! Beautiful!
2020!!!
Still watching
This show was quite popular in Arabic speaking countries during the late 90s, I always got a kick out of any funny line Sophia used to say.
Betty White better live forever! :)
Best show of all time.
Thank you so much for posting this show! I wonder if E did one of Designing Women.
I am 14 and I watch this show every night on hallmark
Ethan Whiteley SAME
same that and I love Lucy
