In a redundant version of an ancient watching-decision-system I decided to embark upon The Golden Girls because Arrested Development's Mitch Hurwitz wrote for it in the last two seasons. Eleven years later I've finally finished it and I can tell you that it is a pure pastel paradise. A characterful comedy classic which lives up to its lofty reputation as a surprisingly sharp but overwhelmingly comfortable bit of 80's-90's pop cultural ephemera. It's often wonky, consistently old fashioned but a strangely progressive and sometimes incredibly touching bit of television that I'll never forget spending a huge amount of time wading through. This show is a pal. It's a confidant. Its heart is (and perhaps will always be) true. So fair play to it for that.
