Without the iconic Golden Girls, there's a high possibility that other iconic shows like Sex and the City and Desperate Housewives would never have come into existence. Why, some of you may ask? The Golden Girls were a group of women (albeit senior citizens) who were very close to each other and frequently talked about personal issues including sexually-related ones. This unique setup allowed Sex and the City to take it and explore R-rated HBO territory with it, and for Desperate Housewives to later re-imagine it within a satirical format. Additionally, The Golden Girls pushed the boundaries of network TV and brought up taboo topics that had never been discussed before on American TV. But what made the show so memorable was the cast chemistry between the four "girls": Blanche, Dorothy, Rose, and Sophia. Every character brought something to the table (literally!) and, along with razor-sharp writing, created an innovative show unlike any other on TV. Due to sexually suggestive material, The Golden Girls may not be for everyone. But it's certainly a classic that many young people have recently discovered in reruns thanks to the current Betty White craze.

This show is funny because it shows senior citizens ageing in postive ways. I love the humor! Children will have to wait until they are 13 years of age to watch this show because of the sexual langauge, some violence, and people blaming others. Do not let younger children watch this!
