Golden Girls is the original Sex and the City. I'd take Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, and Sophia over Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte any day. These ladies are iconic. Golden Girls has some of the best and most relatable writing of all time. For example: the time Dorothy is in a bad mood and Rose asks where she's going and Dorothy replies, "To get ice cream or commit a felony. I'll decide in the car!" I could talk about Golden Girls forever; however, there's already a podcast that does it for me.
