Bea Arthur among those being inducted into TV Academy Hall of Fame tonight...

If ever anyone was a television hall of famer, it is Beatrice Arthur. An Emmy winner for both "Maude" and "The Golden Girls," she's given us a lot of laughs in two intelligent, classic and hilarious shows.

I'm so excited to be invited to tonight's Academy of Television Arts & Sciences' Hall of Fame dinner where Miss Arthur will be inducted along with the late Merv Griffin, "MASH" writer Larry Gelbart, "Brady Bunch" and "Gilligan's Island" creator Sherwood Schwartz,

Here are a series of video clips from Miss Arthur's two great TV shows starting with "Maude" followed by a clip from "Golden Girls."

And finally, here is a guest appearance on "The View" from a few years ago (Rosie was still hosting) when Arthur was promoting the DVD release of "Maude."

After the jump: Bonus video of Arthur and Lucille Ball singing "Bosom Buddies" in a scene from the 1974 film version of "Mame."
