Summary[]

Notes[]

  • Rose recites the famous catchphrase of Saturday Night Live, "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!" In 2010, Betty White hosted Saturday Night Live after a large Facebook campaign, becoming the show's oldest host ever.
  • In an interview with Susan Harris and Paul Junger Witt, it was revealed that the Home Again, Rose special was originally filmed as the season finale for Season 7 with the expectation that the show would return for an eighth season. When Bea Arthur made the announcement early in filming for the season that she would not be returning for an eighth season, the writers of the show decided to write and film a new finale, which would close The Golden Girls and provide a send off for Bea Arthur and her Dorothy character. Following this, Season 8 of The Golden Girls was renamed The Golden Palace and moved from NBC to CBS as a sequel series. Unfortunately, due to low ratings with the rebranded and remixed show, CBS opted not to renew the show for a second season and cancelled it.

Goofs[]

  • When Rose is in the hospital, she talks to the girls about cryogenics, the process of being frozen after death to be thawed and cured later. She is confusing cryogenics with cryonics. Cryogenics, which deals with extremely low temperatures, has no connection with cryonics. Cryonics is the belief that a person's body or body parts can be frozen at death, stored in a cryogenic vessel, and later brought back to life.
  • Anyone that has had triple bypass surgery would have been tired and weak when arriving home. Rose was shown as her normal self.
  • The ice, on which the girls' heads lie, noticeably jiggles.
