This came into my feed today, Feb 5, 2022 and Bea passed almost 13 years ago! Makes me cry. I am so thankful that we have these memories in the palm of our hands.

[@natalieps2387]

As much as I think the internet & that lead to the social media age which has not been good for people I am grateful to yt to relive moments like this b/c unless u caught it on tv live or a re run or taped something it was gone. I've discovered so many things that I wasnt born for or too young to have watched. Who knew even releasing shows on dvd would become passe. U can watch anything on yt or buy any season of a show & it's at ur fingertips instead of having to drag out the box sets & searching for a season or episode u like which I was still doing only 7 years ago. Everything is on streaming anyway but yt is the best thing about the internet in terms of entertainment

"Maude" will go down as one of the most important sitcoms in history. The social topics it covered were way ahead of its time.

[@TheHonorableAngelinaNordstrom]

It touched my heart to not only see Bea and Rosie enjoy singing the theme song, but also for the audience to join in and have a great time by having a singalong. That Maude theme song was so wonderful!

[@vampyr69]

Love all those funky 70s tv theme songs like Maude, Wonder Woman and One Day at a Time!

[@elizabethpugh117]

[@Milesco]

@@elizabethpugh117 : Definitely. Great gospel-style tune. (And the more bluesy, soulful, end theme was great, too.) And if we're talking about great funky '70s TV theme songs, let's not forget Sanford & Son! :-D

[@glennlrw]

Funky, gospel, etc. themes of the 1970s. Does any present TV show have an edgy or interesting theme? I can't think of any. Have we become boring?

[@lordcron]

I'm a 40 year old black man who feels he just lost a loved one. It hits cats like myself hard because I was alive to see all her shows that made her famous to begin with. I was there and seen them come on and sat glued to the Television when Maude came on back in the 70's. and I seen some of her stage shows in vagas as well as being a huge fan of The Golden Girls. You know..... How many of us will be able to say we left a mark on several generations of people.. Remarkable. Timeless. Now rest...

[@natalieps2387]

The golden girls proves if u have serious talent u can still work in any venue & tg the people at nbc did think a show about women north of 50 could be great & come on everyone loves the golden girls! I saw a clip of bea & betty white in the 70s way before the GG & both were singing & tap dances like no problem looking like it was so easy. I feel that when their is less channels not as many platforms u water down the talent. These legends like bea & betty I'm sure took singing dancing acting lessons & their humor & delivery was not " old " in the 80s they were hysterical. I was maybe 4 or 5 when it premiered so by 89 I was watching the re runs & the show which thrived on a sat night at 9! Usually that's where they put shows to die off on sat night b/c people are out. Thursday was always where the powerhouse lineups were. I think sun through Thursdays had to be the best for a show. I recall growing pains & mr belvedere when they were limping along at the end went to sat nights & as a little kid we were usually at cousins & went away so did not watch anything on sat. I think most people & they werent looking for the kiddos to be watching but that what 18 to 49 demo

Just don't watch it on those nostalgic classic TV cable channels; they butcher those episodes so badly to make room for all the commercials. I know because I tried watching ... I tuned in a few times to the beginning of Maude, and the first scene is already in progress after the theme tune ends. You're missing lots of dialogue and jokes. Get the DVD's.
