Did anybody ever watch the"" Betty White Show? That's where the GOOFBALL started and I watched her ever since...Look up some of the episodes....Rose and Vivian started there for Betty....Miss her RIP
@LYBism Well, it was a "Rose" line if you consider that time Rose had been Blanche's "servant" for a week cuz Blanche let her believe she "owed" her for a mistake, & when Rose found out the truth & said she would make tea for Dorothy who was feeling down, Rose looked back at Blanche & said: "You heard her ---- GET CRACKIN 💥👏🏻!" meaning Blanche was gonn do it. That was HILARIOUS cuz it was rare to catch Rose being "sharp 💡" mentally.
Rose had a lot of good zingers. I think they were funnier _because_ you didn’t expect them from sweet ditzy Rose. She made many many comments about Blanche’s… social life.
my dad literally use to use Betty as a teaching tool for me…He use to say “Just look at Rose (Betty ), you have to be really smart to play someone really stupid”…a smart man can play dumb but it’s hard for a dumb man to play smart 😮
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 Of course you can miss people, characters, things,..., that have been part of your life, without you being in direct contact. You can miss a lost friend, a radio host you used to listen to, heck, you can even miss the bus!
@@pepper1188 I was 18 when that show first aired. So to an 18 yr old middle age was being an older woman. I am now 57 and I still watch that show. I always saw older woman where I lived be miserable and always complaining about this pain or that pain and I always dreaded what being in my 50s would be like. But watching The Golden Girls showed me that there are always good times to be had no matter what age.
@@trixVK Hello my friend! Did you know that his name was the last word she said before she passed? So your comment hit my heart just like the time I read that fact. Thank you!🫶
@@katybug6572 have you seen Cleveland Omgoodness she is off the hook in that show and the other one darn it I don't remember the name but it was about old people 🤣🤣🤣
Ironic since Betty didn't get along with many she worked with. You would never know that she was not liked behind the scenes based on how their chemistry was. When several people don't get a long with you behind the scenes it shows who she truly was beneath her public persona
sadly Rose, Dorothy, or Sophia never once used, "It's obvious at the end of football and hockey seasons you helped to keep Play It Again Sports in business"
I couldn't picture the show lasting for this many decades of reruns if they had the actresses switched. Betty White was the perfect Rose and Rue the PERFECT Blanche. Bea was also awesome as the bitchy comeback person since apparently that was partly her own personality. I think this show is one of the finest examples of casting on TV.
I think they’d considered Betty for Blanche due to the similarity to her character of Sue Ann Niven but I’m so glad they switched as both actresses were amazing in the roles they ended up playing.
Lol. I can't imagine Rue saying when she lived in 'St Olaf' as Rose...That was one of those shows that takes me back toy mother.. The way she used to laugh for these women
@Birdnerd1968 a bit unfair considering none actually got a long with Betty. Betty was the one that the woman didn't get along with in truth. Bee was highly respected and wasn't as you describe her at all. Hence why she got along well with the women, and Betty didn't.
Yes, they are whole heartedly missed and loved. I’m sure they kicking up an hilarious ruckus wherever they are. 😅 Truly golden memories that can’t be replicated ❤❤❤
I wish they were still alive and exactly like this again. It's crazy to miss people you don't really know, but I genuinely miss all these ladies. Such a huge part of my youth.
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849you sell tickets for that mind n heart reading you do? Just wondering, only way you could possibly know how anyone feels unless they tell you.
I've always liked Betty White and thought she was cool since I was a little kid. I also appreciated her dedication to the craft, a contributing factor which resulted in her earning the distinction of being the actress with the greatest longevity in Hollywood. She also had that extra spark, a certain "pop" or "flair" within her personality that endeared her to so many television viewers throughout the years, providing her with a solid, ever growing fan base and elevating her to an iconic status. Now, I can honestly say I love Betty White due to a gesture, an act of good will she performed in more recent years that not only blew me away, but allowed me to assess the true nature of her character. To learn and realize what kind of a person she REALLY was...on the inside. For years, throughout her career, Betty White had been repeatedly asked to host an episode of Saturday Night Live. While many celebrities consider the invitation to host SNL one of those "I have arrived" moments in show business, each time she was asked, she declined their (the producers') request. That all changed in 2010 when Betty learned that a group of people launched a campaign on Facebook designed to make into reality the moment when Betty White would make her first appearance on, and perform while hosting a long overdue episode of Saturday Night Live. So probably because it seemed like everyone in the world wanted this to happen, she finally agreed to do it. She explained during her monologue that her reasons for turning them down previously was due to how daunting she felt it would be to host a ninety minute internationally broadcasted sketch comedy show filmed live, in actual real time and having to get it right on the first take with no opportunity for do overs or edits, and how overwhelmingly nervous the very idea made her feel. On the night before mother's day in 2010, history was made when she was 88 years old, Betty White hosted SNL. She didn't merely just "pull it off" either; she was phenomenal, her performance was outstanding, and because she reversed her stance and decided to go for it, not to promote herself or to plug a project she was involved in, but to honor a request made by her fans; accepting the offer because the people that matter, US...we wanted her to. Because of this - she has, in my opinion, permanently cemented her unique position as one of the coolest people who ever lived. As a side note, (I know, because I watched that episode when it first aired) during the prologue "winding down" final moments of the show, she did confess that while she started out being intensely nervous as hell, she ended up having a blast. So R.I.P. and with 💛🩷 eternal, Ms. Betty White - ROCK ON!-
@@jonb351 Yeah Betty White's joke went deep! If that previous commentor didn't get how rich that last joke was, I mean it's not like I'm going to spell it out for them are you? 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for saying that. I never pictured people in England watching Golden Girls. God knows we enjoyed Keeping Up Appearances and other British shows over here.
I can’t believe they are all gone. I started watching this show at 19 yrs old and am now 55 and still put it on to fall asleep to at night - I can’t explain it but it’s a soothing comedy. Fabulous writers, great storylines and perfectly cast leading ladies who played their roles to perfection. Bravo
Betty White was a beast! Amazing person with incredible talent! Heaven is a much more fun place with Betty there! We miss you Betty! You were to good for us!
Yes! I was just thinking something similar! I was remembering how her husband, Alan Ludden, had said of her that her real personality was very similar to Sue Ann. And I thought, Oh, we just got a little taste of that here.🤣🤣🤣
Betty White's Rose was well named. Beautiful and sweet, but with sharp biting thorns underneath. Like her Sue Ann from MTM Show. Honey sweet on the surface but her razor sharp tongue could sting like a bee. These ladies were queens of the dead pan and those instinctive one line ZINGERS! Miss them all! 💛💛💛💛
Great come back and it was already brewing in her head but she waited to say it without interruption. Just love these ladies. They really did a great show and showed us growing old is a blessing.
OMG Betty White still is a damn gem 💎 my daughter is 6 and knows who she is. Even sings the song. I cried the day she passed and started re-watching Golden Girls. My daughter thought she was someone I knew like a family friend. I told her well she kinda was. ❤
I watch the Golden Girls every day. I love all of them. Betty was so quick-witted in real life. They're all missed. Thanks for the memories, girls.❤❤❤❤
I grew up watching this show and loved Rose. When I was older and saw the real Betty White do comedy, I was shocked! 😮 I love you and miss you, Betty White.
What I loved about Rose were her stories about St. Olaf! I was enthralled by her stories until she got near the end & thought "Wait a minute this story is insane" !
This was such a good show. As a gay man coming into his own in the mid 1980’s onwards it felt like I had the perfect family home movies on a Friday night on Ch4 to come home to every week. I think I must have watched every episode at least 10 times. Before this ‘Rhoda’ was the sit com of choice for the boy about town😂
We must be about the same age ! I will always remember the episode about AIDS and how Blance said, "It's not a bad person's disease!" I held on to that, and in 2001, it hit home to me !
I had originally heard that the characters that Betty and Rue were being considered for for The Golden Girls were too similar to the characters they played on Momma's Family and that they chose to switch.
Comedy just isn’t the same anymore. Everyone so concerned about hurting someone’s feelings instead of just dishing it like these ladies. True comedic actors and great writers
Betty White’s comedic timing will forever be unmatched. She did everything with such class and elegance! I still watch this show, and it aired when I was still a baby, but a classic never dies!!
