Golden Girls TV collection-vintage stuff

It was in 1985 when the hit TV comedy series 'The Golden Girls' premiered on NBC. Viewers liked it immensely because of the raw humour and witty dialogues particularly of Sophia played by Estelle Getty. All the four characters played their parts to the best of their capabilities and were highly appreciated. There were many episodes divided into seasons. Each episode dealt with a different subject. Some of the subjects that were discussed in the episodes were on gay marriage, menopause, impotence, drug addiction, safe sex, domestic violence, child abandonment, pregnancy, homicide etc. As such the Golden Girls TV collection contains a series of episodes dealing with an interesting topic which has relevance to human life.

In the first episode titled 'The Engagement' Sophia, played by Estelle Getty, decides to live with her daughter Dorothy, played by Bea Arthur, who lives with her two friends namely Blanche and Rose. The reason for this decision was because Sophia's retirement home where Dorothy had put her up gets destroyed due to fire. The highlight of this episode is the bad feeling that Rose develops when Harry, one of Blanche's boyfriend, puts forth his proposal. In between that there are many memorable hilarious scenes which the viewers liked very much. In another episode titled 'The Competition' viewers liked watching the bowling competition between Dorothy and Blanche on one side and Rose and Sophia on the other side. The so called competition really looked very intense indeed. There were also other similar episodes which provided wholesome entertainment to viewers.

The Golden Girls TV collection was a runaway hit that skyrocketed NBC's ratings in the realm of television entertainment. It was so popular that people stopped going out on other engagements on Saturday night at prime time. Other channels tried their best to face this intense competition thrown by NBC. They included shows which they thought would stand up to this challenge. Such was the popularity of the Golden Girls. The success of this TV collection helped establish a loyal fan base which still exists till today. There have been numerous reruns of the Golden Girls TV collection which proved that its popularity has not waned even today.
