    GazerRise Fantastic!
    CommentsXp Best movie ever!
    Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
    filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
    angelacere I grew up the show. I loved it then and I love it now. It never gets old. There's no other show like this because you can never replace the original.
    BlakeRsanchez83 Golden girls is one of the best tv show ever. It's a show for all ages, I must've seen this show a million times. My favourite one is Doherty (Bea Arthur) damn that woman is funny. I must say I do miss the show and the girls They were taken away too early, I saw couple of episodes of the golden palace but it wasn't the same without Bea Arthur. But as a Norwegian none of the words Rose Nyland (Betty White) are saying doesn't make any sense what so ever. It's not Norwegian. Swedish or Danish. But she keeps talking about Norway and not a word is true. Except the herring part. But the rest is made up I hope future generations will enjoy the show too It will always be in my heart, Enjoy the show all of you
    Paul Magne Haakonsen If you were watching television during the mid- and late Eighties, then chances are that you have watched "The Golden Girls". And if you enjoyed the mid-Eighties comedy sitcoms, then chances are even bigger that you are familiar with Dorothy Zbornak, Rose Nylund, Blanche Devereaux and Sophia Petrillo.I have fond memories of this fairly long-running TV sitcom, and I was ten years old when the show started, and I remember still watching it during the teenage years.For a TV sitcom based around the lives of four elderly women living together, then "The Golden Girls" actually is hilarious. And it is not only because of the writing and the script, but especially because of the colorful characters and the cast that portrayed these women.The characters each individually brought something very enjoyable to the show. Dorothy (played by Bea Arthur) is looking for true love and a life companion, but she is more than often hindered so in that conquest by her hilarious mom Sophia (played by Estelle Getty). The naive and gullible Rose (played by Betty White) often finds herself in a world very different from her home in St. Olaf. And the carefree Blanche (played by Rue McClanahan) goes through men like others go through underwear.The actresses cast to portray these colorful women was really good and they each individually brought something unique to the show. Bea Arthur had a certain authority to her being. Estelle Getty was just a bundle of fun and joy. Betty White was, as always, a wonderful woman with lots of charm. And finally Rue McClanahan really did show that even a mature woman is still desirable.Every episode does bring about some good, wholehearted laughs and profound moments between the four main characters. And as such, then the series will grow on you and you start to have some sort of bond with each of the four lovable characters."The Golden Girls" is well-worth watching if you enjoy the classic sitcoms from the mid-Eighties. They don't really make sitcoms like this anymore, and "The Golden Girls" is a nice addition to the library of the TV sitcoms.
    TheLittleSongbird I absolutely love The Golden Girls, it is a classic and compulsively watchable any time of the year and ideal for anybody.The production values are top notch, with nice photography and the clothes and sets are pleasant on the eyes. The music is memorable, with a addictive and infectious main theme.There is also the writing, which is also superb. While it is always funny, there is also room for poignancy which works wonders. The Golden Girls has great story lines as well, always well-constructed and entertaining with racy topics that understandably can be seen as controversial in the day.The main cast are amazing to watch. I am especially accustomed to Betty White's(always a welcome presence) Rose, while Rue McClanahan is comedy gold. Estelle Getty has a strong character and works really well with it, likewise with Beatrice "Bea" Arthur. While these women have their conflicts and issues, deep down you can tell they genuinely care for each other.All in all, a wonderful show and one of the best of the 80s, perhaps even ever. 10/10 Bethany Cox
