The Golden Girls was a popular sitcom that originally
aired Saturday nights in primetime on the NBC network
from September 14, 1985 to September 7, 1992. It can now
be seen in syndication frequently on the Lifetime cable
network in the United States, Prime in Canada and Living
TV in the UK. The show was created by Susan Harris, who
had also created the sitcoms Soap and Benson. In its later
years, it was followed by Harris' other series Empty Nest
and Nurses, both of which took place in Miami Beach, Florida.
Because of this, the three shows would occasionally have
specials where characters from one show made appearances
in the other ones in order to boost ratings. The premise
of the show was four older women sharing a fashionable
house together. Blanche owned the house, while Dorothy
and Rose responded to an ad for a room to let placed on
a message board in the supermarket.
