When you’ve had such a stunningly successful seven-season run like The Golden Girls did, you can attract this kind of talent for nearly every single episode. The second episode has a perfect performance by Bobcat Goldthwaite. The guest cast list is nothing short of stunning with classic masters like Dick Van Patten, Eddie Albert, and Anne Haney to the next generation, including Margaret Cho and Kim Fields.
That is a thing that happened in 1992 for 24 glorious episodes, and now we have it to enjoy here again 30 years later. If you weren’t dedicated to The Golden Girls in the 80s, here’s what you missed when it ended: Dorothy (Bea Arthur) got married and moved away, and the remaining three girls bought and moved into a hotel (the titular Golden Palace), which they run with Don Cheadle as the manager and Cheech Marin as the chef. The (brief) entirety of The Golden Palace has dropped on Hulu, and I am more than here for it.
