And there is no theme song more perfect for the fab-four than 'Thank You For Being A Friend.' How much to you know about the golden crew? Here are some things only hardcore Golden Girls fans know. Thanks to Betty White’s memoir Here We Go Again: My Life In Television, we know that The Golden Palace’s cast believed the show would return for a second season. Yes, please! Above all else Golden Girls was about female friendship, which is often a lifetime bond. Despite adding those two talented actors to the cast, The Golden Palace was canceled after a single 24-episode season.

The main difference was that my aunt and her besties had a neighborhood clubhouse, were retired, and mostly spent the day cruising around their neighborhood in golf carts. I had a great aunt who lived a similar lifestyle in Arizona, and the community was fraught with high school drama such as competition for love interests, rumors, fights between friends, family woes, and more. While there's nothing wrong with knitting, celibacy, and blue hair if that's your jam, coasting into your golden years can also mean dating, adventure, and endless fun with your friends (and maybe your mom). Watching Dorothy, Sophia, Blanche, and Rose navigate their second adolescence debunked the myth that getting older means joining a knitting circle, becoming celibate, and dying your hair blue.

I mean, what could better than living with your besties in Miami? If you and your friends have the same #squadgoals, then you're likely privy to some things that only true Golden Girls fans know. The Golden Girls are who I aspire to be in my later years.
