For those of us who remember good TV

[Beavs]

I can't believe no one has mentioned the passing of the legendary Bea Arthur on Saturday. She will always be one of my absolute favorites.

I did see tha yesterday - she will be missed. I have become a Golden Girls junkie! It's on 2 hours in the am & 2 hrs in the pm on Hallmark. Love that show - Sophia is a riot.

Remember "Maude" ? Maybe that's dating me ?

Condolensces to the family.

She made an appearance at the Pamela Anderson celebrity roast on Comedy Central a few years ago and stole the show. She did a dramatic reading from Pamela's "novel"...it was great.

RIP, Bea.

Maude. Second best TV show theme song ever. (Greatest American Hero's is #1.)

Dorothy was always my favorite Golden Girl. She'll be missed.

Ditto! She was the best; may she rest in peace. I loved her!

I confess that I ordered the first season of Maude off Amazon.

Maude and the Golden Girls will always be playing in my mind. She will be missed. I loved her comedy.

Bea Arthur was one absolutely incredible lady. She will be greatly missed. I loved her on Maude (yes, I do remember seeing the shows on regularly scheduled TV), and Golden Girls. She had a way of delivering lines that was like no one else. She will be missed.

Here is a clip of Bea with Rosie O'Donnell's show with Rosie singing the Maude theme! Also features a clip of Bea's first appearance on All in the Family. "Right on, Maude!"
