Betty White dies at 99 (weeks before 100).

Didn't know the Golden Girls Theme was a cover. Here's the original from 1978.

 

Biden warned us

 

ouch, severe high school flashback.

 

Sorry for that.

It's a good song. Now that I've heard the whole thing I like it more than the Golden Girls version.

 

Know what that song needs….?

 

GTFOH

 

Next you'll be telling me Welcome Back Kotter's theme made it to the top of the Billboard charts.

 

Doesn't every song...

 

Don't know about that but the Miami Vice theme did make it to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.


And the Golden Girls was set in Miami so it does tie back to Betty White.

 

Some of the comedy on Golden Girls is flat-out hilarious, but you have no idea how accurate you are when you say Golden Girls ties in with Miami/Miami Vice. It was supposed to be called Miami Nice. LOL :

Ideas for a comedy series about older women emerged during the filming of a television special at NBC Studios in Burbank, California, in August 1984.[24] Produced to introduce the network's 1984–85 season schedule, two actresses appearing on NBC shows, Selma Diamond of Night Court and Doris Roberts of Remington Steele, appeared in a skit promoting the upcoming show Miami Vice as Miami Nice, a parody about old people living in Miami.[25] NBC senior vice president Warren Littlefield was among the executive producers in the audience who were amused by their performance, and he envisioned a series based on the geriatric humor the two were portraying.[24]

Shortly afterward, he met with producers Paul Junger Witt and Tony Thomas, who were pitching a show about a female lawyer. Though Littlefield nixed their idea, he asked if they would be interested in delivering a pilot script for Miami Nice, instead. Their regular writer declined, so Witt asked his wife, Susan Harris,[24] who had been semiretired since the conclusion of their ABC series Soap.[26] She found the concept interesting, as "it was a demographic that had never been addressed," and she soon began work on it.[24] Though her vision of a sitcom about women in their 60s differed from NBC's request for a comedy about women around 40 years old,[27] Littlefield was impressed when he received her pilot script and subsequently approved production of it.[24] The Cosby Show director Jay Sandrich, who had previously worked with Harris, Witt, and Thomas on Soap, agreed to direct the pilot episode.

 

RIP Betty, bowing out a few weeks before your 100th birthday just proves she always had great comic timing....

A true legend.....

 

Hell of a run at JUST shy of 100. RIP Betty White! She was funny as hell.

 

Betty was so pissed she missed out on her fantasy life 100 year bonus points -- same thing happened to my great grandma and she never lived it down.

 

What's the difference between Betty White and Paul Walker.

Spoiler

Only one made it to 100.

Yes, I am going to hell.
