The show is based on four elderly women living together in Miami, FL.Within the shows seven season run many of societies day to day issues were highlighted, teen pregnancy, senior health care, gay marriage, lesbianism, adultery, age and race discrimination, divorce and many others. The women who starred in this show are of the highest caliber. Rose (Betty White) plays a simpleton from St Olaf, Minnesota. Dorothy (Bea Arthur) is from Brooklyn and her mother Sophia (Estelle Getty) was in an "old folks home" called Shady Pines. Blanche (Rue McClanahan) owns the home the girls live in and is very promiscuous. From performing in a play to being shipwrecked on an island these girls go through it all and come out stronger. These episodes still hold the test of time…even today. Worth a watch...and many more.

I laugh so hard whenever I watch this show! The Tears are streaming down my face now! I have never heard so many ways to call someone a tramp in my whole life! lol! I am a huge Sophia fan! She had to be the funniest one on the show. No one could beat her one liners. And Blanch just oozed confidence! She may have been a little loose but Rose wasn't far behind her. I really miss this show it was so funny. And it was a timeless Classic! They don't make comedies like this anymore! Can I get an Amen! My Mother and I watch this wherever we can find it. There isn't a whole lot worth watching these days and I really miss great comedy like this one.

One of my all time favorite television shows!! Betty white, Bea Arthur, Rue, and Estelle Getty are hilarious!! The sarcastic Dorothy and Sophia kill me, love them!! They should make shoes like this still today! I'm so glad it still comes on hallmark and Logo, so that I can enjoy it. I'm in the process of buying all the seasons on DVD so I can have it just in case the reruns were to ever go off the air. Cus really this show is funny, heartfelt and they really wrapped it up well in the last season, with Dorothy finally getting married, Stan moving on, and Sophia, Blanche, and rose will still live together, loved it, might have shed just 1 tear haha. Overall a 9/10. One of the classics in television!!

All The Golden Girls TV series depicts what would be shockingly unacceptable for viewing audience back in the 50's and 60's and especially not for minors to view. It would not have been shown on TV and have been rated X for adults.. only to be seen at Drive In Theatres. Not only because of adult themes but because of the immoral swearing; which it could of done without for it to be a success. It goes to show behavior principles of right & wrong have been tossed out the window. Whenever I think of this show I'm reminded of a country song that says "slap grandma's mouth", which is what needs to be done with these mature women. As they are nothing like role model grandma's are suppose to be like and seems to encourage disgusting ways that are unacceptable for that age group. Golden years of mature women are suppose to be full of wisdom not more stupidity and certainly not repulsive to where you'd be ashamed of them. If anything, this show depicts through Dorothy, Rose, Blanche and Sophia dirty laundry of grandma's who try to come out looking clean at the expense of degrading each other or other people in ways that the viewing audience never seems to grasp. Instead of dirty old man.. we are seeing dirty old women. The creation of Golden Girls is nothing precious or really entertaining and reveals that there are some elderly women or grandma's who are nothing like we think or expect them to be. Which is a darker side of reality.On a more positive note it does show women at a mature age does and can have a life and just cause you're not around enough to see it, doesn't mean they aren't doing something. Also that some things can be ridiculous to the point of being funny at that age. It did however suggest if the elderly joined together under one household that they could compensate for each other to the point of not having to end up in a nursing home; which is kinda like in a prison. That together, there can be fun & meaningful purposes to live out your life in dignity than disgrace. It's bad that so much of society has bought into evil as the acceptable good.
