That’s a relatively long time for a TV series, and it’s managed to stay so memorable mostly due to its incredible cast, including Betty White, Rue McClanahan and others, and its relatively underdone premise, which featured four older women living together in Florida after the owner of the house puts out an ad for roommates.
The Golden Girls originally ran from 1985-1992 on NBC.
The show has also maintained relevance over the years by reappearing on networks like TV Land, and getting shoutouts in pop culture, even by movie characters like Deadpool.
