The show ended in May of 1992, and this video is from 2020. So it was 28 years after the finale, not 18 years...

[@nikoscaldera]

Can't stop watching the show, they are truly a virtual family for many of us. They live in our hearts and we love them.

[@michaelpowell3113]

Blanche was sensational. Rose was brilliantly naive. Dorothy was extraordinary in sarcasm and Sophia’s whit became iconic. The Golden Girls was truly in a golden category of its own and I don’t think there ever will be anything as wonderful as the four of them were together. I’m so grateful to them for welcoming us into their home for it is us who are truly “thankful for being their friends” ☺️

[@deborahmaupin5092]

My son got me the entire series on DVD, and my Dad and l would watch it together before he passed away in 1993 from lung cancer. I STILL miss his laugh.....he had a great laugh! ❤️

Rose was my favorite character. Her seemingly naiveté was simply hilarious

[@montygreen6228]

Rose is my favorite too. My favorite episode has to be : It's a miserable life, when Rose told a neighbor Freida Claxton to drop dead. The neighbor instantly drop dead to the floor.

[@leepurdy9069]

Betty White is one of the great comedic actors out there and Rose was one of her best characters. I have trouble picking a favorite. I think for me it was Sophoa, because she reminded me a little of my own grandmother; whom I was very close with.

[@sheliamccullough1626]

Yes

[@scottkrause477]

Betty White is absolutely gorgeous and funny!😊

[@johnryu5754]

The show is timeless! The ensemble made the show work so to choose one is almost impossible but, if I had to choose, it would be Dorothy. Her zingers always made me laugh. Thx for the vlog.

Sophia was my favorite. SHe reminded me of my great grandmother. I loved the way she delivered her lines. I also loved the relationship between Sophia and Dorothy and how sophia was like a mother figure to Blanche and Rose.

I watched the entire series over the past two months on Hulu & teared up at the finale. That was my go-to/ unwind show

I finished it in less than a month. it was also my wind- down show and I watched it almost every day

[@JDKD98]

I’ve been watching the series since I was a small child, and I never had the guts to watch the finale until I was 20. It crushed me 🤦‍♂️

[@ReallyBadSeed]

Dorothy was my favorite. Between her biting and hilarious sarcastic responses, her witty one-liners, and those incredible facial expressions, she just had it all.

[@Hotspot87]

Actually, Betty and Rue were pretty close so that thing about them not being friends isn't true.

[@joyfull5374]

Hotspot Yes, I heard Betty White say that in an interview shortly after Rue’ s passing. They were quite close and shared their love of animals.

[@rrubio6660]

He said not all four were close so the statement is true. And, none of us were there....

[@doloreserin]

Hotspot Oh thank goodness I wasn't the only one to pick up on that. I remember watching an interview with Betty White and she said that she and Rue kept in touch. It seemed like they were close, so glad I'm not the only one who caught that.

[@1thetvzone]

I agree. Bea & Rue worked together on Maude. Rue said when her mother passed. Bea had Rue to come stay with her and take care of her. That was in the 70s. Rue & Betty worked on Mama's Family before Golden Girls. Betty & Bea knew each other in 70s because of their circle of friends. Bea worked with Lucille Ball in Auntie Mame & Lucille Ball & Betty were good friends. As Estelle got sick those 3 were still at awards shows together. They may not been hanging out 7 days a week, but over a course of life they shared a bond.

[@nonabliss]

Betty White said in an interview once that Bea Arthur was not fond of her. That made me sad because I would like to think all the women were as close as their characters were on the show.

[@AprilLashon]

I’m turning 50 April 30th, and I remember watching this show with my Grandmother as a teen. Now the episodes make so much sense as I approach 50! Dorothy was my favorite. They all live on in my Golden Girls tarot deck.

[@ralphrogers7257]

I must say that Betty White has always been dear to my heart. But, what I liked most about her character, Rose, was her stories about St. Olaf. They were wild. I often wondered if they were scripted or if she she would ad lib much of them.

most of them were ad lib - she made them up herself, so that the face expression of her colleagues were unique!

[@beckylynnknight9363]

I agree with you. Some of these “facts” are wrong.

[@maryceciliasaladin2732]

Sophia was my favorite! Even though she ‘was going through memory issues associated with a stroke’, she was the only character, it seemed, who would give some of the best quips, zingers, and one liners on the show. She also gave 100% what she got, and wasn’t afraid to throw out the occasional insult either. I always loved her stories too!

[@luiscabrera1268]

Still one of my favorite shows, i still watching Golden Girls every night at Hallmark Channel. Blanche is my favorite!

[@ivandeklerk697]

It will always be one of my all time favorite shows. I was still in school and used to watch it with my grandma. Years later I bought all 7 seasons on dvd. The saddest moment for me was when Dorothy left at the end of season 7. The season that followed after that called golden palace just wasn't the same without her.

[@witchescrossing]

The last one was the saddest for me, too! I cried like a baby in that last episode, especially when Dorothy kept leaving and then busting back through the front door (and through the lanai!) to hug the other girls some more and tell them again how much she loved them and would miss them terribly. The only other episode that made me cry was in season 6, episode 9 titled “Mrs. George Devereaux”. In particular, the part where Blanche finally gets to hug George in her dream for the first time ever and can still feel his arms around her when she wakes up…yep…that one had me grabbing for the box of Kleenex. 😋 I wish Bea Arthur had been a main character in the Golden Palace instead of just those 2 episodes, but I still love watching The Golden Palace episodes. I laugh just as much and just as hard as I do when I watch The Golden Girls. I wish so much that they had made more episodes in that series. Don Cheadle and Cheech Marin were wonderful additions to the story line. Even Jack Black made an appearance in one episode, which blew my mind the first time I saw that scene. He was soooo young! 😃👍🏻

[@sycandles]

My #1 favorite show of ALL TIME. Long live The Golden Girls! 👵🏻 ⭐️ I have seen every single episode a million times! Dorothy was always my favorite, followed by Blanche. Love them all though, greatest show there ever was or ever will be! ❤️

[@Sweetblossom123]

As much as everyone wants to claim to be the "Blanche" of their group, the simple truth is we are all Dorothy. She was the everyman character of the show, who struggles day to day watching others stumble along in ignorant bliss (Rose) or those who seem to get everything they want (Blanche) and occasionally comes upon some nugget of wisdom about life (Sofia). Without Dorothy, the show would never have worked. That's why the spin off after Bea left didn't work. It lacked it's everyman character.

[@FactsVerse]

Thanks for watching, M!

[@desertrose1226]

Oh definitely. I do identify with Blanche a lot but part of me is definitely Dorothy.

[@GEMof72]

Love this cast. Couldn’t see anyone else playing these roles! RIH to the ones that have gone to glory. And they also placed Ms. Arthur in the middle because of her facial expressions. And they were friends. Ms. McCallahan got along with everyone.

[@witchescrossing]

Great video! I especially loved the clear shot of the kitchen set-up and the house blueprints that you included. I’ve been a HUGE fan of the Golden Girls for over 25 years. A good friend of mine gave me the DVD set of all 7 seasons (21 DVDs total!) for my 30th birthday and I still play the discs regularly while doing things around my house. Watching, and even just listening to the show, always brings me comfort-like a soft, warm blanket wrapped around me-not to mention the laughter that fills me up every time I watch or listen to the characters’ comedic banter with each other. My favorite character is a toss up between Sophia and Blanche. Both characters have so much self-confidence and quick wit, which is so inspiring and hilarious to watch. They’ll say whatever they want without a care in the world about whether it pissed someone off or not. I guess I lean a little more towards Sophia as my ultimate favorite out of all four ladies, because she did and said whatever she wanted and didn’t care if you liked it or not. Blanche was awesome too! But she was a little bit TOO self-centered, egotistical, and easily became jealous and nasty if someone else took the attention away from her. That trait also carried over with her Blanche character in The Golden Palace (like in episode 15 titled “Heartbreak Hotel”). I still love Blanche’s character so much, because her self-esteem and ego are so outrageously strong, yet at the same time, we’re able to experience her human flaws…which is comforting because we ALL have them. All four actresses showcased each character perfectly in The Golden Girls…Estelle, Bea, Rue, and Betty…and they will be greatly missed, now that they have all departed this world, but their spirits will live on eternally through their many theatrical performances which have been memorialized in film for us all to enjoy forever. Rest In Peace beautiful ladies. 🕊 We love you!! 💞🏆 (apologies for the super long comment! 🤭)

[@tumbleweed576]

I liked Dorothy’s character. She was always always reasonable ~ level headed and it seemed to she kept the show together. In my opinion there was an episode or two where the writers lacked ‘truth in character’. The episode where Dorothy went to a Beatles review and brought one of the Beatle look a like home with her. That would have been best played by the character of Blanche.

[@CHOCOVIXEN85]

Hard to say who is a fav. Loved them all. My grandmother used to comment on how great their cloths were.

[@J33-k3s]

I like Blanche because of her attitude towards life and dating, especially at her age. Her southern belle, over-sexed, character was fun, funny and loveable. But all 4 ladies were wonderful on that show and brought something special that made the show great. I like them all for different reasons. And without any one of them the show would not have been the same. The writing, the acting, the chemistry, the set, the clothes, it was all so good. Easily one of the best sitcoms ever made. I hope it plays in re-runs forever.

I loved them ALL almost the same, but I think my favorite had to be Rose because she was so sweet. And her St. Olaf stories...?

My mother loves that show. So does my grandmother. I liked Estelle Getty’s character. I laughed a lot.

Sophia was always my favorite. I have the tee shirts, masks, socks, autobiography of each character, and guided journal. I love The Golden Girls!

Dorothy is my favorite and the episode where Rose won St. Olafs woman of the year award is my favorite episode. The show is more than iconic.. it's the best series in the history of television.
