I loved the line in this scene where Dorothy says “Blanche you're talking like it's 1945. These aren't the best years of your life, these are the last years of your life!”
@@bluebird4614 _The National Inquirer_ is an American tabloid paper that produces ridiculous stories like Batboy or Elvis being a cyborg. So the idea of someone of Blanche's age having a baby is seen as ridiculous and hysterically impossible.
I get the distinct impression that these four never stuck rigidly to the script and ad libbed all the time - if that's the case they were extremely good at it because the quips were excellent.
Actually I just saw Betty say during practice, they may throw in things that are accepted or not. But the taping is strictly to script, every syllable.
Best writers and producers in the business working on this show. That said, once in a while an ad lib made it into the final cut. Betty White was trained in improv, but Bea Arthur was from the theater where the script is sacred.
The fact that they are gone, but they are still alive and preserved in their younger years in shows like this that continue to bring joy to millions is amazing. ❤
I still watch it regularly. I kind of flip between it, and Will and Grace. Two of my three favorite shows. I am going to be 50 soon so much of this makes so much sense lol
What is Medicare? Is it something for old people? Also, what does Estelle say? I can't hear it.. And probably don't know the reference for that as well 😆😂
@@justjessy0115 Estelle said 'Why wait...have ur now and The Enquire will pay for it!'. (By the way, 'The Enquire' that Estelle is referring to is about long-running Paper Tabloid sold in stores called 'The National Enquire', infamously known for Their Hyper-Sensationalized 'Real News' Stories, which is a offshoot of the Tabloid Papers sold in Britain.).
I’ve watched this show my entire life. I used to watch it with my grandmother when she was alive. Makes me think of my grandmother when I watch it now.
An interview with Estelle just appeared on my feed. With her smooth skin, no glasses, burnished hair, and smooth voice, I didn't recognize her! That's when it hit me what an extraordinary actor she was!
Sadly, she was the youngest but had already begun suffering from dementia which wasn't fully diagnosed until later. Apparently, the other ladies in the cast understood she was struggling and did much to help her get through scenes. Class acts, all around.
No, Estelle and Betty were the same age, Bea was a year older than them and Rue was like 9 or 10 years younger than Bea. Bea was 64, Estelle and Betty 63, and Rue was 54 when they started filming I believe. And Blanche/Rue passed first, then Sophia/Estelle, then Bea/Dorothy (all within the same 3 years of eachother - about 25 years after the show started) and Betty/Rose lived to 99. (This is from memory so it may not be exact but I'm pretty sure I'm close.)
@nicoleallen6792 They passed a year of each other except Betty, who passed in December 31, 2021, a few days before turning 100. Estelle Getty passed first in 2008, Bea Arthur in 2009, and Rue McClanahan in 2010. Rip ladies.
This was a very funny episode. Blanche, as usual, thinking she is capable of having a baby in her fifties, though she always spun her age to be in her forties with no advancing years. Then there is Dorothy’s sarcasm bringing up Medicare, a sixty-five year qualification, and Sofia’s caustic reply that Blanche would earn a tabloid’s notice for being probably the oldest natural birth mother. He he he heheheh; What a topic and perfect timing in the eighties bc of all the IVF programs gaining funds and clients of varying ages wanting a baby. I could see Dorothy thinking along those lines too! 😅😂💗
I'm like Blanche. I'm almost 44 but I'll always be young at heart. My physical age doesn't match the way I feel and think.. And I have 5 kids and 3 grandkids. But I don't act like a 44 year old grandmother. I act and talk like I did when I was in my 20s.
@@MarcyTrivette Same here, I'm 65 going on 12...😂😂😂 I love to laugh, and despite severe chronic pain that has impeded on my life quite a lot, I don't feel old at all!!! Never smoked, never did drugs or drank to excess, yeah, I'm good!!!😂
The writing on this show was brilliant, and the deliveries from these 4 UNTOUCHABLE TALENTED Women was nothing short of masterful with every single line. I miss TV shows like that!
These ladies had the most natural, perfect timing in the business. Whoever it was who decided to put the 4 of them together deserves their own star on the Hollywood WOF. Genius.
Still love and watch The Golden Girls to this day. May they remain forever friends, laughing and enjoying each other in heaven. You all are truly missed you Golden Angels.
I love it when i find others who think like me ... this is the funniest scene of the whole 7 seasons of golden girls - and one of the best episodes - Golden Girls was one of rare shows that got better with each season - seasons 5 and 6 were great but season 7 was legentary ...
It's all subjective, but it's hard to top the scene where we learn that Rose had 56 boyfriends, Blanche about explodes, and Dorothy calls Ross the Grand Pooba of Slutdom.
"The Monkey Show" is the best of the 7th season and contains many of the funniest scenes/jokes of the show's entire time on air. Stan hugging a cone with a stuffed monkey head on top, Rose telling him the monkey's beautiful, Stan's shrink telling everyone's business to other clients, then the shrink telling Stan "mazel tov" when he says that he's off the monkey (but on Dorothy's sister), Sophia potentially ditching Dorothy for her pretty, favorite daughter, the "hurricane a'comin'" and the "save the lighthouse" telethon that Blanche doesn't even know is about a lighthouse, the lighthouse being demolished during the storm: comedic VVS diamonds. Every scene was perfectly stitched. The only other episode that perfect was the Frida Klaxton episode in season 4.
Yes! I would watch them as long as they where on, and laugh so hard it made me feel good all over. They where the funniest group of ladies l have ever seen on Television. They need to bring another group like them.😂
I am so glad that people are putting these as shorts. I'm going to watch the whole show all over again because of it! I watch this when I was 10 years old and it was classic to me then.
I loved the line in this scene where Dorothy says “Blanche you're talking like it's 1945. These aren't the best years of your life, these are the last years of your life!”
🤣
My favorite is one where Blanche gets offended because she finds out that Dorothys lesbian friend, Gene, falls in love with Rose instead of her. 😅
@@maggiebrooks2550 “Isn’t Danny Thomas one?”
“Not Lebanese, Blanche. Lesbian.” I love that episode too!
😂❤
This scene almost made me pee my pants 🤣😂🤣😂
Bea not being able to keep it together while Estelle was like “lemme throw some gas on this fire right quick” 😂😂😂
Miss these three🤣🤣🤣🤣
To think Estelle was the youngest of the group
@@neah2k11 she wasn’t the youngest… Rue was!
@@Justin-hg1lz nope Estelle Getty was the youngest in actuality but in the show the character she was the oldest
@@nelsonmajor2079Rue born 1934. Estelle born 1923.
Estelle being an absolute savage!
😂
ALWAYS!! 😂😂😂
Can u please explain Estelle's line a bit? Like who is the inquirer?
@@bluebird4614 _The National Inquirer_ is an American tabloid paper that produces ridiculous stories like Batboy or Elvis being a cyborg. So the idea of someone of Blanche's age having a baby is seen as ridiculous and hysterically impossible.

😂😂😂

one thing about sitcom . improv is comon

All the women have stated they stuck to the script. No ad libbing. They were just that good at making it seem natural.
@@flagler88 Yahhh! Total class. Very very convincing. I miss em

One of the best SITCOMS ever!!
There will never be another show with this much charisma with characters that mesh so well together. The writing was perfection too.
Betty White's smile.
Gosh, what an ensemble. 😊
These women were on point with their acting and timing!
Rue trying desperately to hold it together and Betty just wanting in on the fun
I loved this show. I could watch this show over and over and still laugh. It's so sad they've all left us. :-(
The fact that they are gone, but they are still alive and preserved in their younger years in shows like this that continue to bring joy to millions is amazing. ❤
It’s on Hulu.
I still watch it regularly. I kind of flip between it, and Will and Grace. Two of my three favorite shows. I am going to be 50 soon so much of this makes so much sense lol
I just finished watching a few episodes still holds up and still as funny as ever! I do feel bad they are all gone
@@aliciasimmons8473 yes 😢
I like Sofias line " why wait , Enquirer will pay for it " !
😂😂😂
She was priceless and so cute!😅😅😅
Amazingly, Estelle Getty who played Sophia was younger than Bea Arthur, who played her daughter Dorothy 🤯
@@dianeatpeace337 I think she was actually the youngest of them all, that I can recall that is.
@@MsSharr-uu5dcI remember hearing that too, which is crazy to think about.
Loved this line too! Never got to watch many of these, but they are priceless!
It's like a verbal burn unit!😂😂
The GOLDEN GIRLS STAYED WITH THE BURNS! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This show was priceless ❤
Wait a couple years and Medicare will pay for it.😂
I love how she couldn't keep a straight face at that line 🤣
What is Medicare? Is it something for old people?
Also, what does Estelle say? I can't hear it.. And probably don't know the reference for that as well 😆😂
@@AshtonishingJelly She says “Why wait, have it now and the Enquirer will pay for it” which I’m guessing is the National Enquirer lol
@@AshtonishingJellyYes, Medicare is health insurance for older adults.
@@musicmiss18Yes Estelle is referring to the National Enquirer.
Touché. This show had top notch writing and acting! The best!
They knew they had great lines. They couldn't even hold in the laughter!🤣🤣
The best writers coupled with the best actors. Great show
See why we watched this show ,these ladies are hilarious. 😅😅😅❤❤❤
Still my favorite show. Whenever I'm having a rough day, I can watch this show and everything falls away. ❤😊❤ Thank you Ladies. RIP
This show was just plain excellence!!
I love how Dorothy could hardly keep it together 🩵😂
So well written, the show is hysterical
They also improvised which I love.
@@abelis644 I agree. The writing was good, but the performers took it to new levels.

Idk what it is, but when I’m feeling down or stressed out, some Golden Girls always fixes it ❤🌴
This was the best show. I miss the ensemble, the writing and the comedy. RIP ladies.
😂 Blanche in complete denial of her actual age!
OMG, they were hilarious! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mothers day im totally day drinking and watching golden girls
I think this shall be my plan too but minus the drinking and add eating instead. 😂😂
Sophia’s laughter always made it extra funny! 😂
I’ve watched this show my entire life. I used to watch it with my grandmother when she was alive. Makes me think of my grandmother when I watch it now.
Lovely.
same for me
Same.
Blanche was DELUSIONAL 😂😂
In a good way
Miss all of these women.❤
A great show and I've fond memories of watching it with my mum and the both of us buckling over and gasping for air!
❤
Same! As my Dad would fall asleep in his big chair.😅

Such a fantastic show!!
One of the greatest scenes ever.

Never hear of hormone treatment?
Hilarious - Medicare, Enquirer 😂😂😂
They're great. Still watch them!!!
These girls and this show got me through a lot of hard times....I loved this show.
I MISS this delightful show!!
That was a perfect opening for Rose to chime in as well. Outstanding writing for all four roles.
The Enquirer will pay for it. ha ha
LMAO Dorortys line bout medicare will pay for it 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
As beautiful as Blanche was, she truly believed she was younger and finer than what she was. 😂❤😂❤
Finer, I would yes? Younger? No 😅
She was delusional enough to think she was young enough to have another baby. 😂
I remember this episode!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💕 R.I.P ladies. 🕊️🕊️
The Enquirer!!! I'm howling!!!! 🤣 That damn Sophia!!! #The Golden Girls!!!
HAHAHA🤣🤣 UNFORGETTABLE GOLDEN GIRLS ❤️🥰 couldn't resist to watch over n over again 😄 n couldn't stop laughing still , loved themmm 💯💯💯🌺♥️
Amazing lines!! lmao!!

TOO ABSOLUTELY CRAZY FUNNY!!😅
I used to watch this show in the 80's with my mom. She called me pussycat just to keep it real.
She passed in 93 ...memories last for decades!!💫💫
Best show ever😂😂❤❤❤
I watched this show live from the beginning!!! LOVED IT!!! 😍
As straight laced as Bea Arthur was she was always the one to laugh first. She could never keep it straight for long.
I want to go to library and see if they have this show on DVD.
