 Editor's Note
 The final season of THE GOLDEN GIRLS features the quartet of lovely ladies that audiences adore. Delightfully ditzy Rose (Betty White), lascivious Blanche (Rue McClanahan), snarky Dorothy (Bea Arthur), and her frankly hilarious mother Sophia (Estelle Getty) are roommates in Miami, Florida. For seven years, this hilarious sitcom showed that life doesn't end with eligibility for the senior discount. Season seven saw a number of great guest stars, including Leslie Nielsen, Merv Griffin, and Alex Trebek. Nielsen played Blanche's uncle and Dorothy's groom-to-be in the two-part series finale, "One Flew Out of the Cuckoo's Nest." Men come and go in the lives of these women (particularly Blanche), but their enduring friendship is the core of the series.

| | Professional Reviews | The MovieHamlet 9 of 10 This is so not cool at all. First of all, I'm a guy. Secondly, I will turn 29 next month, not 79. A guy my age is supposed to enjoy the likes of Alias and similar shows, not some old sitcom from the '80s, which even in its heyday was considered programming for old people. There's even an episode of Friends where Ross is ridiculed for having spent his Saturday nights in the '80s watching The Golden Girls. But I am man enough to admit it. This show was gold...The quality of the show remained high over the years. The dynamic quartet was superb, and it was particularly nice to see veterans White and Arthur being handed such rewarding parts after long careers in television. - Stefan Hedmark
