The Golden Girls (SEASON 1) Review

Golden Girls is a wonderful light comedy show which tells the experiences of four women living together.Three of them friend and fourth one a Mother (Estelle Getty) to one (Bea Arthur) of them.I really like it find it funny slightly nostalgic its a eighties show references to Indira Gandhi's assassination and Food Fight in Calcutta are there plus other references to India.At first I did found their look and hairstyle,costumes bit dated but slowly adapted to it.Bea Arthur who plays Italian woman seemed like a Man to me with her tall body and heavy voice.

Rue McClanahan owns the house in which the other two live as paying guests.She is a female Casanova who has a affair with every man she encounters.She has a lively personality.They rise up at untimely hours in the night and and eat and talk till morning.I also used to wake up sometimes in the night and unable to go to sleep would make myself a little snack and watch television till early in the morning quite nostalgic.

Betty White is very funny she would always relate some anecdote of her country home in her childhood which will either bore the other two of them or make them laugh till their sides ached them trying very hard to suppress their laughter.She is kind of naive and simple.

Estelle Getty the star of "Stop or my mom will shoot" is the the funniest character here.Her dialogues are sharp loaded with wit and wisdom.She also gives examples from her past life as a young girl in Italy.She is the life of this show and touches heart too now and then.

Bea Arthur is straight forward.She is always having some confrontations with her mother which turns funnier.She is the intelligent and serious one.

Its a nice comedy series to kill time.Its title song is absolutely lovable.
