The Golden Palace is a spin-off series that aired for one season. Twenty-four episodes were produced.

SynopsisEdit

The series featured three of the four characters from The Golden Girls moving out of their original house, and operating an upscale hotel called The Golden Palace Hotel. The show was not as popular as its predecessor, for a number of reasons: the absence of Bea Arthur as a regular cast member (her character, Dorothy, had left the show in the

Golden Girls series finale to get married to Blanche's uncle, Lucas Hollingsworth); the fact that the original series had been fading in the ratings to begin with (the show had fallen to #30 in the Nielsen ratings in it's final season); the change of network (NBC to CBS); the move to the "Friday night death slot" and being placed opposite Family Matters on ABC (which was #30 in the Nielsen ratings that year). All of these factors worked against the series being successful, and it ended up #57 in the Nielsen ratings that season. Bea Arthur eventually guest starred in episodes 7 and 8 ("Seems Like Old Times: Part 1" and "Seems Like Old Times: Part 2").

CastEdit

Betty White as Rose Nylund, a jack-of-all-trades in the hotel.
