Synopsis

The Golden Palace begins where The Golden Girls had ended, in the quartet's now-sold Miami house. With Dorothy Zbornak having married and left in the previous series finale, the three remaining cast members (Dorothy's mother, Sophia Petrillo, Rose Nylund, and Blanche Devereaux) decide to invest in a Miami hotel that is up for sale. The hotel, however, is revealed to have been stripped of all of its personnel in an effort to appear more profitable, leaving only two employees: Roland Wilson, the hotel's manager, and Chuy Castillos, the hotel's chef. This requires the women to perform all the tasks of the hotel's staff.

bg11215-366-263177 OK, so the writing wasn't nearly as good as the Golden Girls. Sometimes the jokes were thin. And the humor wasn't nearly as witty. Nevertheless, I think the format worked. Also I like the other characters (Roland, Chuy & the kid). Some episodes were hilarious. I kind of wish it had lasted longer than one season. I guess it must have had low ratings. But still I like this show and think it was funny. It didn't deal with serious themes as GG did, but still I find it a nice spin-off to one of the greatest shows in TV history. I recommend it! See it. See it now. Watch it tonight and experience the laughs with familiar faces for the first time all over again.
ungy357 While many have probably never considered this obvious fact, it its impossible not to consider the parallels between Don Cheadle sheltering Tusti refugees in a hotel and Don Cheadle sheltering The Golden Girls in a hotel. In fact, the Oscar-nominated film is really little more than a pale remake of this inspirational series, with Nick Nolte taking the place of Betty White in strikingly similar roles. Some day perhaps this classic will be released on DVD, and we will see where the story truly began, but for now, those who watch "Hotel Rwanda" can merely view Cheadle's rescue of the refugees and gratefully think "Thank you for bein' a friend."
Moonlighting This show is currently playing in Living TV in the UK, i've been taping. Anyway this show is very good and very funny. Maybe it was ended as a combination that Bea Arthur was right- that THe Golden Girls outstayed it's welcome. But Dorothy is a noticeable absence. There are still 3 girls- But Sophia strictly wouldn't be counted as a golden girl- she's a main character but the other three are the ones always still dating and fighting- Sohia's just pure comedy, Anyway- no one else can be sarcastic to Rose as Dorothy can- which is noticeably misses- but this show is just as funny- and may as well just be thought of as another season of the Golden Girls- tohugh the tune and title chagned- between scenes it plays those little melodies and all still. They should someday have either a reunion golden girls episode- or a full theatrical Movie or somethingThis show is great.
P Adkins I am a HUGE fan of the Golden Girls. When Dorthy got married & the show ended on an emotional side I was saddened...BUT, guess what...Blanche, Rose, & Sophia carried on. The 1st episode started off a little sad. It all begins with the remaining Golden Girls packing up the house because it was Sold! They all are moving to Southbeach into a hotel that they decided to purchase. With Blanche mostly running the front entrance, Rose as the maid, & Sophia (along with Cheech) as the cooks, the zany hotel gets a good taste of the Golden Girls! The show wasn't terrible by all means...actually it was nice to be with the girls again. Where it went wrong was to many story-lines in each show. It was almost to busy! The better parts of the show are (few & far in between) when the girls are actually together to discuss the problems over cheesecake. As much as I want this to be perfect (like the Golden Girls) it's not. Dorthy is a BIG part that is missing...even bringing her on a couple of episodes towards the end wasn't enough to save the show. The Golden Girls will always be remembered as a WONDERFUL show. I think only the die-hard fans (like myself) will remember this one though. Z. 1-10 (9)
