Thirty-five years ago, four geriatric gal pals came into America's living rooms and won our hearts.
Monday marks the milestone anniversary of the premiere of NBC's"The Golden Girls," which debuted Sept. 14, 1985. The groundbreaking sitcom ran for seven seasons and centered on four single, older women – Dorothy , Rose , Blanche and Sophia – living together in Miami. The show was progressive in its time for its depictions of four confident, sex-positive women over 50, and its willingness to tackle social issues, even imperfectly. “Golden Girls” prominently featured LGBTQ characters and issues right from the start, beginning with its pilot episode featuring out-and-proud gay cook Coco .
The show also tackled the coming out of Blanche’s brother, Clayton , and her own homophobia, in a pair of episodes: Season 4’s “Scared Straight” and Season 6’s “Sister of the Bride.” The latter is particularly hard-hitting, as Blanche struggles to accept Clayton’s partner Doug and makes herself the victim. “What did you mean when you told me you could accept my being gay?” Clayton asks Blanche.
Ok but why use a photo without Bea?
Progressives are not the only ones with right ideas. Progressives preach tolerance but have none for conservatives. MM arr
the media creates never ending chaos and controversy... the powers that be that control the media and TV today are the same ones that controlled TV and media in the 1980's Progressive is code for anti-conservative & socialist, marxist, communist. MM arr
loved it. That new show with Jane Fonda would have been a great remake.
