Picking up where "The Golden Girls" left off, "The Golden Palace" reunites Rose, Blanche, and Sophia as they move out of their Miami home and open a hotel called the same as the title. Some funny misadventures derived from the hotel, as well as some good nostalgic moments - especially Bea Arthur guest-starring as Dorothy in one episode. Though funny, this show doesn't quite captures the humor, magic, and spirit of its prequel. It's laughable, but not pure entertainment. Grade B-

I was sad when The Golden Girls ended. And I was glad to see where they picked up where they left off. This show isn't all that bad I actually like it. It's funny watching "the girls" trying to run a hotel. Plus I liked seeing some of the old guess from The Golden Girls make guess appearance's. I wished it lasted longer than one season. But it just wasn't like The Golden Girls it was missing something in the story line in most of the episodes. I also missed the talks that they used to have while enjoying a cheesecake. There also seemed to be a bunch of story's going on in an episode whereas in The Golden Girls one episode had one maybe two story lines to it. The girls are still themselves in this show Blanche is still chasing men (if not more) and Sophia is still telling her stories as is Rose. If you like The Golden Girls I would recommend you to watch this show also.

After the brilliant 'Golden Girls' ended when Bea Arthur - always the show's biggest star - left, the company behind it decided to try and continue the magic with the remaining girls. As the show wasn't the same without Arthur, they producers created a new situation, with the girls buying and running their own hotel. Sadly, this series just seemed a bit desperate. Although there were some funny moments, the brilliance of the Golden Girls was its simplicity, and the chemistry between the four leads. With Bea Arthur gone, the comic balance was lost, and new characters seemed out of place. Also the situation was unbelievable - where did three women who could only afford one house between them get the money to buy a swanky hotel? Why did they buy a hotel anyway? Far from awful, but certainly disappointing.

It was a perfectly good series! Why did they have to cancel it. I still have episodes on tape but haven't seen all. I know Dorothy's loss in 1992 was a hard one and I am glad they tried to keep the other three going. Just because Dorothy was gone, wasn't a reason to "kill-off" the other three! I was outraged when this show was cancelled! I wish someone would air reruns like, once a week! Once a week because there were only 24 episodes and it wouldn't repeat as often. Or lifetime could show it after they show The Golden Girls finale and then start The Golden Girls over again! COME ON!
