One of my favorite parts about being a Golden Girlsfan is that I get the opportunity to belt out the words to the theme song "Thank You for Being a Friend" at the top of your lungs at beginning of every episode. Even though I've likely heard it more than a million times, it still pulls at your heart strings every single time.

And I wouldn't blame you if you already started humming it in your head: "Thank you for being a friend / Traveled down a road and back again / Your heart is true / You're a pal and a confidant."

We know them as Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, and Sophia. I've already ordered two copies of Golden Girls: Thank You For Being A Friend. While you order yours, I'm going to go grab a piece of cheesecake as I finish singing our favorite song: "And if you threw a party / Invited everyone you knew / Well, you would see the biggest gift would be from me / And the card attached would say, 'Thank you for being a friend.'"
