In fact, The Golden Girls‘ unwavering ability to deliver laughs, even in the most dreadful of episodes, is one of the reasons it’s remained a staple in syndication, where it’s managed to captivate new viewers every year. In terms of comedy - consistent comedy - I can think of no other ’80s sitcom that offers real competition, for while Cheers (1982-1993, NBC), which we covered here earlier this year, remains my choice for the best written and character-driven piece of the decade (and my favorite show second only to I Love Lucy), The Golden Girls always exists in a place where high-octane humor is ever at the ready, something that can only be said of Cheers most of the time. The Golden Girls stars BEATRICE ARTHUR as Dorothy Zbornak, BETTY WHITE as Rose Nylund, RUE McCLANAHAN as Blanche Devereaux, and ESTELLE GETTY as Sophia Petrillo.Ī show that I would put in my personal top ten, The Golden Girls is another property that this blog was actively created to discuss, so I’m thrilled that its time has finally arrived.
