Bea Arthur had some of the best comedic timing in the business. I barely remember the show "Maude". Most of it went over my young head but I LOVED "Golden Girls". That show was hilarious and a little scandalous for back in the day. Of course GG would never get a green light to air on network TV now. Neither would "Murphy Brown".
Ms. Arthur also won an Tony for her role in a Broadway production of MAME.

hands down, the golden girls is my FAVORITE SHOW! i was devastated when estelle died, and im sad now that bea's dead too... sigh
OOohh yes! I made sure I had the remote control in my hand every time The Golden Girl were on TV.
The rest of the day, I'll have this song in my head:..."thank you for being a friend".....
Thx ;-)
Granted the show was an ensemble cast - Bea Arthur made it worthwhile. Good times!
The Golden Girls were a little risque for their time but since was a bunch of cute old ladies the producers let them do more than the 80s morals would allow.
RIP Bea Arthur
Oh Bea! I remember watching her in Maude (Yes, I'm that old!). But I grew to love her as Dorothy. As you mentioned, she had impeccable comedic timing
"Shady Pines, Ma!"
R.I.P.
