Storyline
Plot Summary |
The Golden Girls is based on the lives and interactions of four older women who have all been divorced/widowed, and are now roommates. Dorothy's main goal during the series is to find a companion she can relate to while her mother Sophia adds her comical outlook and frequent "Picture This" stories. Rose's St. Olaf-ness makes her a little corny but lovable. One thing that changes nearly every episode is whom Blanche is courting. Written by John W. Hale |

Quotes |
Rose:
I don't think lying is really a good idea. I once cut school and that proved very bad. Dorothy: Oh, Rose. We've all cut school. It couldn't have been that bad. Rose: Oh, yes it was. That was the day they taught EVERYTHING. Dorothy: The final piece of the puzzle. See more » |
