Betty White isn't a legend *just* for her role on Golden Girls. Her entire life was amazing. An incredible woman.

[@bob_._.]

Betty White was on TV before TV was on TV... seriously, she was on an experimental program before broadcasting started up on the west coast. She was the first woman host of a daytime TV talk show (on the air LIVE 33.5 hours/week), the first woman star of her own sitcom and successfully fought to have the first Black cast members on national television. Her career lasted more than 70 years and she worked constantly and created some of our most iconic characters. She truly was the Queen of American TV.

[@EndymionDeVere]

I always say that broadcast television should’ve been shut down after Betty’s death and everyone just go over to streaming series. It seems clear to me that TV was Betty Whites vehicle…it was the Betty White show. And now that she is gone, the show has jumped the shark with post Betty seasons that are just the studios milking the series for whatever they can get from it. We all know that TV belongs to Betty 😊

[@m134089]

All are national treasures! And very missed.

[@CaenaGrey]

I can’t believe no one has said this, but she was hilarious in Lake Placid. 😂 In 1954 she had Arthur Duncan, a black dancer, on her show. She was under immense pressure to not have him on, at the threat of tv stations not airing her show. Do you know what that beautiful woman did? She used him in anything she could! We miss her. She is a legend!

[@lisal.4498]

I’m 55 and have been watching since I was 19. I’m telling you this show holds up year after year. Perfectly cast, wonderfully written and never gets old. So sad they are all gone

[@moneepennee]

You wondered about those of us who watched Golden Girls when it was on and if we still miss it? Yes. It was on from 1985 to 1992, so that was when I was a kid. My parents weren't fans so we didn't watch it at home, but my paternal grandparents were (particularly my grandma) and never missed it. I used to watch it with them when I visited my grandparents on weekends (which was a regular thing, as they lived nearby). I watch old videos of the show and I can still hear my grandma's laugh every time I do.

[@tookitogo]

I think a lot of us have memories of watching “The Girls” with our grandmas!

[@denicesanders4586]

Betty White as the grandmother in The Proposal. The scene with Betty and Sandra Bullock in the woods was hilarious.

[@patriciaheinzer9884]

OMG..Balls that's what came to your hear

[@tj_2701]

Remember when Golden Girls originally aired the show wasn't just for older pepole, it was enjoyed by pepole of all ages kids, teens young adults, 20's, 30's, 40's and older.

[@becca1189]

Yes! I was one of those kids!! Our whole family would watch. My dad isn't a fan of sit-coms, but Golden Girls is one of few that he enjoys. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

[@MahaliaMD73]

I was a kid in the 80s -and, yes, everyone watched the Golden Girls on Saturday night! 😁

[@phillippuckett5552]

They don’t make shows like this anymore. An era gone by. This was great TV and still is! So many laughs!! A must watch. All of them. Glad you like them!😊

[@tookitogo]

Yes, watch the whole series. Bear in mind that it’s a series that is so good, that has aged so well, that 40 years after it first aired, teenagers watching it the first time are falling in love with it.

[@Adme55]

Indeed, Betty White was definitely a legend. She was in TV since TV became TV. And she was literally the first in so many things. Like starring in her own show, hosting, producing… She was amazing and very loved and lived to be almost 100.

[@zacharias2653]

Betty was actually in the first production of an experimental thing called Television. Sounds ridiculous in 2024, but it's true. She was also a passionate activist for animal advocacy and wildlife protection. Her story is amazing. She is beloved in America.

[@stevemattfis]

The best way to explain Betty White is she was so remarkably good as a human that when she passed on New Years Eve not only did most people toast her memory at the strike of 12 but the outpouring of love afterward included how passing just a matter of days before her 100th birthday she was universally lauded as having gone too soon.

[@kendrakkhalilieh1616]

She died Dec 31, 2021. I am huge GG fan. They call her America's Sweetheart. She was quick-witted and funny, and sweet. She was so beloved here. And yes you should most definitely watch. Your wife would really enjoy it. I've seen every episode, probably more than 5 times.😊

[@candacew.8629]

Absolute 100% legend. Also is the sweet character on the show. She got her start in the Mary Tyler Moore show.

[@jillk368]

Yes!! You should definitely watch this show - - 4 legendary actresses across all mediums - - from radio to game shows to Broadway and classic TV and films. This show also featured some of the best comedy writing in the business, from all decades. Great show.

[@tj_2701]

Can definitely highly recommend watching the actual show.

[@OkiePeg411]

My mother is now nearly 90. I remember as a teenager the whole family watched our 1 tv every evening. My mother would laugh all the way through this show!!! 😂

[@Raggmopp-xl7yf]

Rose's St Olaf stories were the BEST part of that show. I'm old and she was always there on tv one way or another. RIP Betty!

[@nolame100]

I loved it! In America, alsmost everyone watched, and loved it, and some still do! Much more innocent times!

[@emjai2122]

Golden Girls was really unique, because it was always funny (still funny today) and they had a LOT of serious moments too. They basically covered every difficult issue back when TV shows didn’t do it. They even had an HIV/AIDS episode when one of the girls thought she contracted it.

[@ElizaGCF]

Betty White was an entertainer and very talented. Shes been in so many shows on TV. I think we hold her dear in our hearts bc she was just as genuine when being interviewed. She was very down to earth and wasnt afraid to make fun of herself. She was also a true humanitarian ,even with all her fame. She seemed like a genuinely good person. She had that talent and was funny and witty in many of her tv shows over the years. We just love her in America and in death she is a legend for the ages . That women just shined positivity.

[@timothydixon2545]

She was a true actress through and through

[@nolame100]

Betty White just passed a little less than a year ago!!! She was the last to go! The loss was very much felt with her passing!!!

[@richardjbsimon]

I watch this show on repeats! All 7 seasons XD, in some of the evenings. Always had good times - some for good laughs, some good moments, and some good lessons.

[@BrianBrewer-bv1fg]

Watching Golden Girls from the 1st season is a very great idea. You and your wife will love it. ❤❤😊

[@lia53233]

Betty White was the first person ever to appear on television. She was the first woman to ever have her own show, and to produce her own show back in the late '40s. You should check out her time on the Mary Tyler Moore show where she played Sue Ann Nivens. She was hilarious on that show. Also her Snickers commercial from 2010 which really revived her career right after she had turned 90.

[@songbird989]

This show is still in reruns on multiple channels so I watch it every night! Not only have I seen every episode but I've seen it so much I can recite lines of dialogue! 🤣🤣

[@ReymundoCortez]

When she was young she was the definition of a knock out. She was GORGEOUS.

[@lindarogers2271]

Yes , she's a legend. I've been enjoying her all my life .

[@dsoutherland1747]

That scene when Rose is doing cartwheels. It was really a stuntwoman.😁😆😂 That was hilarious!

[@lindacarroll6896]

Yes, Betty White is a legend. You might see if they have outtakes from "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and "Hot in Cleveland." There might be something out there with "Life with Elizabeth." You can probably find the show they presented that was intended for her 100th birthday.

[@chrish8992]

Life with Elizabeth is streaming free on Tubi. I love that show.

[@paulawitham3579]

As you can see by the many comments, she is a legend. But she was beloved before Golden Girls. Well and after as well. Just Google Betty White and you can see how long her career spanned. But as for the Golden Girls, I think it was cast perfectly. Along with the humor it also tackles so difficult subjects. And some of the jokes are centered around that particular time period. Also, the character Rose Nylund is of Scandinavian descent growing up in Minnesota. The state of Minnesota is known for having a lot of immigrants from Scandinavian countries settle there. Yes, you and your wife should definitely watch the show. It is still played in America tv to this day. ❤ it.

[@deannawalker7022]

I grew up on this show and my kids would watch it with me too and they still love it. They tell me it brings special memories of us watching it together. Betty White was a true legend died at the young age of 99. She acted up until her death too. All the ladies of Golden Girls are Legends in their own right. I watch The Golden Girls reruns on TV. So glad they still air this so the young generation as well as future generations can enjoy it. They really don't make GOOD shows that you don't have to worry about your children seeing or hearing something they shouldn't.

[@lindadianesmith6013]

Betty is an icon -sweet and sassy. St Olaf is in Minnesota. Minnesota has a lot of immigrants from Scandinavia. It’s not a real town.

[@StevenDietrich-k2w]

But there is a St. Olaf College (Northfield, MN) and at least one St. Olaf lake (New Richland, MN). Northfield is the town where the Jesse James gang tried to rob the bank and got all shot up.

[@h.a.6060]

I have watched thousands of TV shows. To make it short, this is the best. It is always at number one for me. Nothing comes close.

[@tinahairston6383]

Betty White was more than a legend. She was a national treasure R.I.P. She had a thing for Robert Redford that she commented on MANY, MANY TIMES. She was a huge advocate for animals. This was one of the best shows on tv. They don't make stuff like this anymore and it's sorely missed. Rose is the sweet and hilariously clueless one of the group. She's got all the crazy stories that basically don't apply to anything which is why the others joke her all the time. Don't get her going though because she could be just as sassy and sarcastic as the rest of them, lol.

[@lamp8112]

Love this show. I watch the reruns. Betty White just passed away just a few years ago but was still working at 99 years old. She was a very funny and optimistic person.

[@revmurrayarchibald-fisher7729]

Golden Girls seemed like part of the family … also some funny religious humour … Blanche (Southern Baptist), Rose (Scandinavian Lutheran) and Dorothy & Sophia (Italian Catholics) … when “the centre was closed” Dorothy clarified that it was the grief centre and not the Kennedy Space Centre and added sarcastically “Rose wanted to be the first Lutheran on the moon!”

[@Georgina-lv9bt]

You should ABSOLUTELY watch this show, it's funny but also comforting, the kind of show you put on after you've had a bad day. You wont regret it!

[@GaPeach264]

It was a very popular show. My daughter and 3 of her friends took on the names of the 4 characters based on who was most like each character.

[@tj_2701]

Yes, 100% Betty White was most definitely a legend and is still considered one.

[@marquee4986]

One of the best comedy shows ever written. All are legends. You gotta watch “Maude” that was ground breaking comedy years before. Starring two of these actresses. Watch from beginning! Cheers!

[@Jax2113]

I would absolutely watch you react to The Golden Girls, especially if it's the full episodes. It's such a great show that never gets old no matter how many times I watch it! They don't make tv like that very much anymore!

[@jolenewitzel7919]

I so miss this show. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@teemccloud5273]

First, I just want to say I SO enjoy your genuine enjoyment of the content you review and share your reaction to. And to answer your question, yes I DO miss this show. And the sad thing, I didn’t appreciate it when it was current. But not only do I enjoy the replays now, I also have fond memories of watching it with my friends & wondering if we would act like them when we become their ages 🤣 Blessings to you and your family.

[@hollycook5046]

Most definitely watch this show. I grew up watching with my Nana. You and your wife will love it

[@simatree4erin]

You should definitely watch Golden Girls with your wife! I am on the final season now, and I still love it as much today as I did as a child watching it with my grandmother as a little girl. Also, Betty White was definitely a legend and was kind of like America's grandma.

[@susanfarley1332]

I didn't pay attention to betty White years ago but i liked her on the Golden Girls. But when i saw her on Lake Placid, oh my. She was a feisty old lady in that. Real feisty. When the police and game warden came to ask her questions , Wow, she could really talk back in a way you wouldn't expect a nice old lady to do. Well, the language was very salty, but she did it so well! I think you might enjoy it unless you cant stand scary movies with a giant alligator on the loose. Betty White is the character that raised the alligator from a baby and thinks its cute and adorable. I love that movie just because of Betty White's character in it. Its a scary movie with a bit of humor. The best kind of scary movie.

[@CG68810]

Andre, yes! You need to watch all seasons of this legendary sitcom. It is my all-time favorite show. There something special about it. I remember watching it as a teenager and have watched it ever since. You will 100% enjoy it. It was very edgy and ahead of its time with some of the topics and letting older women be funny & raunchy. Betty White was a legend. She was in a number of hit tv shows. She played a completely different character in the Mary Tyler Moore Show. She was like how Blanche is on that show. Then on a more recent show, which she was in late in her life (she was in her Mid 90s!) on a show called "Hot in Cleveland". She played a more Sophia like character that would say sarastic and crazy things. There is a video called "No one is safe when Betty White is around" Hot in Cleveland. You should react to it. It is hilarious. A totally different side than Rose on Golden Girls.

[@neolithiumproduction]

Betty White was definitely a treasure and one of those deaths you actually felt when she left us. Truly an amazing woman.

[@brianlewis5692]

Rose is the stereotypical naive Midwesterner (Minnesotan), pure in heart, but not savvy in the ways of the world !

[@tking747]

Yes. Please watch more!

[@SuperDrLisa]

Betty White is an American legend, she could play snarky Sue Ann Nivens to the wonderful Rose...

[@beesnort3163]

Yes you and your lovely wife should watch the show! We miss all these ladies.

[@dianat.2517]

It's a great show, one of my favorites. There are a lot of references to 80's and earlier entertainers, politicians, media people that might not make sense but a quick Google Search and you'll be fine. Each one of these actresses had a long history of acting prior to Golden Girls. Rose was supposed to be Scandinavian/Swedish background and from an obscure little made up town in Minnesota. There actually is a St. Olaf, however. Take all those references with a grain of salt and enjoy!☺

[@banksbb15]

Definitely watch more Golden Girls!!

[@dvus1977]

Betty is def a Legend Loved by Everyone 💕. She was The Smartest person in any room as well as the most caring, empathetic and Comical. Her lifelong. mission and passion was her devotion to Animals, all animals. She was an honorary Staff Member of many Zoos. She loved Hotdogs and Vodka. Lastly, In the U.S. we have an expression that always compares something/someone old to Sliced Bread 🍞🥪 (since sliced bread has been around for a Long time) Well Betty was actually Older than Sliced Bread 🤭. She left us last year just before her 100th Birthday. Nevertheless she worked on so Many successful movies and tv shows, including Momma's Family in fhe early/mid 80s . Where she worked with Rue McClanahan (Blanche) as Rue's Niece. Rue and Bea Arthur (Dorothy) alao worked together in the mid 70s on a Tv sitcom called Maude. Bea Arthur was the star (Maude) & Rue played her best friend and neighbor (Vivian) .

She had her own Betty White show back in the early 1950s and she has been on many many television shows especially The Mary Tyler Moore Show, the Carol Burnett Show, and on Golden Girls! She has also been on many television game shows because her husband was host and producer of a famous tv game show from the past called Password. She has also given alot of her own money to the Los Angeles Zoo because she was known for her work with animals also.

I am nearly 70 years old, and Betty White has been part of my life throughout all of those years. I cried when she passed. She was far more than a legend. She embodied her craft.

[@daleb1279]

By the time Golden Girls came on the air in the 1980's, Betty White already had been a TV star for over 40 years. She was one of the early pioneers, hosted a daytime show, had her own sitcom in the 1950's which she produced, she and her husband Allen Ludden are also part of game show history, she was a parade host for decades, she was a star on the Mary Tyler Moore Show, and she had guest starred on many series. She continued working for another 30 years and starred in yet another successful series, Hot in Cleveland, and passed just short of her 100th birthday. Yes, she deserves her place as not only a TV pioneer and legend but probably as THE TV pioneer and legend. While Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett and others were pioneering women on TV, Betty's start in the early days of TV and her longevity make her unique. She had 22 Emmy nominations (TV's equivalent to an Oscar or BAFTA) and 8 wins over 63 years of nominations, a record for anyone for that many years between nominations. She was a good person with a sharp mind, quick with a joke, and universally beloved.

[@dorawhisman515]

I was an extra in a movie with her she was very fragile(a man on set assisted her by her holding onto his arm). The instance it started filming you could see the strength and energy go over her entire body and a glow of personality take over. She was also kind and pleasant with the staff (Including we lowly extras).❤😂Such a character.

[@JIMBEARRI]

Absolutely, Betty White was a legend. Her two best roles were Rose on Golden Girls and Sue Ann Nivens on the Mary Tyler Moore Show. You really should check out Betty as Sue Ann.

[@wandapease-gi8yo]

A lot of the references are outdated, but the humor still holds up so well. I think you guys would enjoy watching the show all the way through. It came out when I was a little kid and I liked it then, but I noticed I appreciated different aspects of the show as I reached different ages. It is my comfort show now. And you're damn right -- Betty White was a national treasure. She deserves every bit of praise she gets.

Yes, Betty White was absolutely a legend, both in her career and her advocacy for animals. She was an incredibly talented person who also personally had a very big heart.

[@moneepennee]

By the way, the Dan Quayle joke at the beginning of the video that you didn't understand was mocking the Vice President (possibly candidate, not sure when the episode aired/was written) at the time. He had a reputation at first for being less than ideal for the job because his previous federal political history was shorter than many other Presidents/Vice Presidents. It was a talking point when he was announced as the Vice Presidential pick for George Bush, one of the arguments used against him. He later got a lot more jokes made at his expense, implying he was an idiot after he misspelled "potato". So, yeah... political joke from 1988.

[@Maeshalanadae]

Yes, Betty White is a legend in this nation. She died back in January, just barely short of her big centennial. Those dance moves were real, too. She was a highly skilled dancer in her time, along with her acting and comedy talents. She was involved in the industry until her death.
