User Reviews

Sadly missing that extra ingredient - but still funny.

It was very sad when The Golden Girls came to an end in 1992 with the departure of Bea Arthur - but it was some consulation when this series followed - if only for one season.

The writing was still sharp and dialogue brilliant and played with the usual excellence of the three remaining cast. Unfortunately Dorothy's absence was seriously noticeable and probably played a big part in it not going past 24 episodes. Don Cheadle and Cheech Marin could not fill the void.

The best episode was of course the two-parter where Dorothy visited the hotel.

Still vintage stuff but sadly a show that will be forgotten in the shadow of it's excellent predecessor.
