All I have to say is that even when Bea Arthur said she wanted nothing more to do with Golden Girls she showed up in Golden Palace and that was the only high point of the series. that's it. The show disappointed everyone and wasn't even mentioned years later by Cheadle or Marin, so that says a lot. But they tried and it was like a table without a leg, it wouldn't stand a chance. Golden Girls was everything and had nothing bad going for it, the only thing the palace did was sully golden girls reputation
