    Diagonaldi Very well executed
    CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
    Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
    Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
    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.
    Parker Lewis Golden Girls is funny, witty and charming and breaks the stereotypes of only young folk living a young person's life. I'm surprised the show didn't address STDs and safe sex and all that, but maybe that's not a surprise because Reagan, who was President during the show's run, didn't even mention AIDS during his eight years in the White House. Great to see Betty White becoming a SNL host.
    Adriana Valenzuela (oonaheartsnonny96) This show demonstrates the perfect blend of comedy, drama, and heart. The comedy element makes me smile and laugh every time, from Rose's St. Olaf stories to Sophia's one liners. Even though the humor doesn't get a huge roar of laughter, you can sense that the writers and the actresses take a lot of time and effort to keep the audience amused. The drama element is also very spot on. Whether its something as super harsh as a character wanting to commit suicide or something as simple as an older person developing Alzheimer's disease. They handle it with a seriousness that also comes across as reassuring that things will turn out OK in the end. The heart element is spot on as well. The four main characters, despite their bickering, definitely care about each other like a real life family would. Overall, if you're looking for a show that combines humor, drama, and heart, grab your friends and watch The Golden Girls.
    ShelbyTMItchell Saw the first show as a kid in 1985. As it is a huge hit even today. As it shows four women that are either widowed or divorced. And are friends and roommates!Bea Arthur plays Dorthy who is no-nonsense but has a heart of gold and means well and acts like the straight man or straight woman in the group.Betty White who is hot these days, plays the dim-witted but funny Rose. Who always talks about her small town home in MN.Rue McClanahan plays the woman hungry Blanche. As she changes men from episode to episode it seems every week.Estelle Getty plays Dorthy's mom, Sophia whom Getty in real life, was the same age as the three women. Complete with false teeth and a wig with glasses. Who stole the lines and show from the other three.Sadly except for Betty White, all three women are together now in heaven. But we have the reruns. To always look forward to.That will last for years and years!As Rue played a dim-witted character in "Maude" with Bea. And Betty played a man hungry character Sue in "Mary Tyler Moore." They changed characters in matter of fact, at the last minute to avoid typecasting before the pilot ever hit the airwaves. As Betty was to be Blanche and Rue was to be Rose. Very smart of them to do that.Great show and really funny! After all these years!
