If we’re being honest, is there anyone who’s been living their lives without ever hearing about The Golden Girls? Well, in case there actually is a person like that, The Golden Girls is an iconic sitcom television series that was created by Susan Harris and originally aired on NBC from September 14, 1985 to May 9, 1992 with a total of 180 episodes.
Apparently, the show is sort of coming back, but with a cast of all-black actresses and the first episode has already aired!
