‘the golden girls’ – a somewhat forgotten, and i must admit, underrated sit-com. on the surface, it seems gentle and harmless, but if you look back on it as a mainstream show you can see it was surprisingly subversive and yet funny. the type of show you could watch with your grandma and laugh at the same jokes but appreciate it on different levels at the same time. which i’m not ashamed to admit i did!
Did you ever see the lousy Golden Palace spin-off? It was terrible.
i did… they did a remake in britain called ‘brighton belles’. i need to get out more…
