This show came on after "Golden Girls" and starred Betty White, Rue McClanahan, Estelle Getty,and Don Cheadle. It was a fun program about the ladies buying a hotel after Dorothy left and the antics that went on. They are rerunning it daily on Lifetime now. (Add picture)

Everything about this show screams “Joey.” The show isn't the same without Dorothy's snarky comments.

If I remember correctly, this excellent spin-off to Golden Girls only ran for one season. It was a hoot and I especially loved Betty White starring in it. Lifetime ran it for a short time, but then need to do that again. So many of the episodes were extremely witty and funny.

I really loved this show and thought it was hysterical. I didn't miss Bea Arthur, though she did appear twice. Having Betty White and Rue run the hotel was a hoot.

IMHO, this was an excellent show. The characters and actors were great. It had zany, funny moments and then there were shows like the one about the greyhound dogs. Lifetime should run it now. My favorite has always been Rose by Betty White.

This was one of my very favorite shows back then. I wish Lifetime would air it again. Betty White had second billing in Golden Girls, but in Palace she was the mainstay and did a great job at it.

Wish they had continued this show for at least another year. Loved it and still watch reruns.

Lifetime is showing this series again and I always loved it. Betty White is hysterical in anything she does. She is also a great pro at acting, humor, timing, and even singing and dancing. This was a good program with lots of laughs.

Sometimes I'm lucky enough to see this show air on Lifetime and it always cracks me up. Love Betty and am so thrilled that she continues to work on TV. She has such wit!

If only this show had been a bit more funny and a bit lees overboard Golden Palace could have been up there with the other soon to come hot 90's shows such as Fraiser or Friends or Everybody loves Raymond! Golden Palace was nice in some ways...The ladies don't become weak and fall apart without Dorothy. They also don't nag about their age but instead they take charge of a hotel that has fallen into disrepair and is having money problems. But I still have problems with the show. Betty White is the star of Golden Palace when she only had third ranking on Golden Girls...Rue McClanahan should have been the star of Golden Palace. Also the script of Golden Palace is too overboard. When Golden Girls was on Rose was never the leader but on Golden Palace Rose seems to be in charge and seems to get the final say. On Golden Girls Blanche was like the goddess of love but her ways with a man were subtle and romantic...On Golden Palace Blance acts like sex freak that can't slow down or stop. Sophia was able to pull in most of the funny jokes on Golden Girls but most of her comments on Golden Palace fail to make you even smile. Plainly stated Roland and Chuy and Oliver give the show an updated 90's look. Golden Palace never got high ratings(it was never even in the top twenty shows but I think CBS should have let the show go on for a 2nd season so that it could try one more time make it into the top twenty or top ten list). The jokes and gags of Golden Palace were never clever like that of Golden Girls. But I still want to give the show four stars for it's bravery to try to match the classic Golden Girls and other popular 90's shows. Even though Golden Palace failed that still does not put a big chip in the classic path that Dorothy and Blanche and Rose and Sophia left behind for similar shows to follow.

So much loved Betty White in Golden Palace. If you compare any of the newer programs to it, they just don't have the laughs and comedic timing that Golden Palace had. Air it again, Lifetime! It wasn't perfect due to the plot, but the girls were great and it makes you laugh out loud.

I forgot how much I enjoyed this program until it started rerunning again on Lifetime. Betty is a fine star, and Estelle and Rue make it fun too.

I think it's a great show with lots of humor. Rose is awesome, possibly because she is so well acted by dear Betty White. Keep the reruns going, Life-Time.

Good follow-up to the Golden Girls. Betty White is the best. Rue and Estelle continue their excellent work. The new supporting cast of Cheech Marin and Don Cheadle are great.

Cheech Marin was great in this show, too. Of course, Betty White is the star and my favorite, too, so I'm really loving the reruns on LifeTime.

Finally Majesty, someone was brave enough to request this show! Though we lost Dorothy in this show, it is not better like the original Golden girls but this one will give me a laugh anytime. I do say that though it is not purely ladies in the cast, it is as good as the original. You got to hand it to Witt/Thomas Productions for keeping the story alive. Technically, not a classic, but close to one. Love it!

Not nearly as good as Golden Girls, but then again it would be difficult to surpass the greatness of that show.

Lots of fun! Betty White shined in this show. It's a spin-off of Golden Girls after Dorothy left. The ladies bought a hotel and it had lots of humor. Lifetime has been airing it.
