The Golden Girls

1985 - 1992 TV-PG 30m 8.2

Four previously married women live together in Miami, sharing their various experiences together and enjoying themselves despite hard times.

The Golden Girls is based on the lives and interactions of four older women who have all been divorced/widowed, and are now roommates. Dorothy's main goal during the series is to find a companion she can relate to while her mother Sophia adds her comical outlook and frequent "Picture This" stories. Rose's St. Olaf-ness makes her a little corny but lovable. One thing that changes nearly every episode is whom Blanche is courting.
