The Golden Girls

The Golden Girls was a popular television sitcom that originally aired Saturday nights 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.

Beginnings

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, 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.
