THE GOLDEN GIRLS won an Emmy its first year on the air. TVs favorite silver foxes Beatrice Arthur, Rue McClanahan, Betty White and Estelle Getty star as elderly roommates on a mission to prove life really does begin at 65. In the first season, the women have romantic prospects that turn out to be more challenging than they originally seemed. In "Second Motherhood," Blanche likes her new boyfriend until she discovers he has several small children. "The Engagement" sees Harry proposing to Blanche, but Rose has strong doubts about him. For the episode titled "Guess Who's Coming to the Wedding?" Dorothy grudgingly agrees to see her hated ex-husband at their daughter's wedding, and in "Rose the Prude," Rose goes on a cruise with a man who wants to share the same room. To the show's credit, THE GOLDEN GIRLS, explores many topics relevant to modern senior citizens, many of which were previously unexplored in television and film. [More]
