I think it's really good in comparison to some of the crap on tv today.Bea Arthur does an incredible job. She basically carried the whole show on her back with attitude. She doesn't even need a great supporting cast because she can shoulder the whole tv. show with her powerful persona. I feel young actresses should watch this and understand some things about the art. That being sexy isn't all that acting boils downs to. To be great you need to be able to carry the load. This show is an enormous load and she just did the damn thing.

Bea Arthur is iconic. Many people say that she is the same in all her TV roles, like Maude, Amanda, and Dorothy. That may be true, but that is why writers create characters to suit her style. Because her natural sarcasm is unmatched. I wonder if "Chandler Bing" is her grandson. Hahaha.

My thought entirely.definitely would have made a great stage show. We are watching first class acts and of course Bea Arthur. It is likely everyone upped their game to play alongside her. Of course it was her show, but the rest of the cast were not weak as someone suggested they were playing 'countermelodies ' in musical terms. It worked!

Yes, this is inspired by "Fawlty Towers," though it is most evident in the set; Bea Arthur does a different style of sarcastic than John Cleese; there is no slapstick, nor a Sybil or Polly (the son and daughter-in-law just can not compete), but for some reason, they did copy Manuel, or they tried too (my only real criticism- no one can duplicate John Saks). So, all things considered, it was inspired by "Fawlty Towers," but the writers tried to make it different; unfortunately, the only thing they got right was Bea Arthur.

She's my favorite too, Carly. This is why I can't stand 'The Golden Girls' (except for Bea's character) were all one-dimensional stereotypes even though I loved Betty White and Rue McClanahan as actresses very much. Having them being dumb and desperately over-sexed got old fast. Estelle Getty's character was awful, too. I found it very degrading to women, unlike 'The Designing Women' which started one year later with Dixie Carter, Delta Burke and Jean Smart in the lead roles. Very funny show too, but "designed" for a smart, sophisticated audience. Golden Girls pandered to the lowest common denominator. So of course when Bea Arthur passed away in 2009 Maude was barely mentioned, never depicted. No. Only the Golden Girls ad nauseum.

Ericka Smith the show was a American adaptation of Fawlty Towers. Unfortunately Amanda’s was cancelled, leaving 3 unaired episodes. The reason why the show was cancelled, cause it didn’t seem to have the comedy as Fawlty Towers and was basically a “big disappointment.” (Bea Arthur) This show could’ve survived, if only it wasn’t so rushed and has such awful casting. Also, if the show continued, I don’t think Bea Arthur could’ve done the golden girls.

This was truly a carbon copy of Fawlty Towers. I think they put Bea Arthur in an unfair position. She has too much weight to pull here and not enough support. The script isn't nearly good enough and the supporting cast is way too bland. Bea Arthur does well with what she have been given, but in the end, it's not nearly enough to make this series bearable.
