There's Bea Arthur and there's Betty White. Rue (who laughed gracefully when presenter Howie Mandel pronounced her name as "McCallahan") gave a longer speech the following year before she addressed the "wonderful group known as the Golden Girls. One of the most delightful things about those repeats, perhaps, is all the new jokes, the ones that meant nothing when you were a kid, but that are either eerily spot-on or shockingly raunchy now. (It's for the best that you had no idea how many sex jokes you were watching with your grandma when you were 8-but it was awesome seeing her laugh that hard.)Īnd though it's been more than 36 years since The Golden Girls premiered in September 1985, and its four pitch-perfect stars are no longer with us, the dynamic relationships that Bea Arthur, Estelle Getty, Rue McClanahan and Betty White brought to the screen live on.
It was a show that you made a point of being at home to watch, sitting through commercials and everything, perhaps with one of the special golden-aged ladies in your life by your side. No matter how old you were, whether you were still in your single digits or at a point where you were reminiscing about your 50s, The Golden Girls was-and remains, as evidenced by the people of all ages still tuning into reruns- a sitcom that brought families together. Between 19, there was no more welcoming place to be on a Saturday night than watching Dorothy, Blanche, Rose and Sophia talk about life over slices of cheesecake.
