The Golden Girls is een Amerikaanse komedieserie van de zender NBC. De serie ging in première op 14 september 1985.
The Golden Girls volgt een viertal oudere dames die samenwonen. Dorothy is een beetje de leider van het stel. Dan zijn er nog haar moeder Sophia, de ietwat naïve Rose en de mannenverslinder Blanche.
Rose organizes a romantic getaway night at the hotel with Dr. Ursula as a guest to give a lecture. Blanche is excited because Taylor Michaels is coming to town. She once lost this man to another woman but Rose is the one Taylor is interested in when he arrives. Sophia signs up Roland with her to the lecture because she feels she lost her sex appeal and Roland has a poor sex life. Blanche is jealous that Rose and Ernie are dating so she finds a way to get Rose occupied while she replaces her on a date with Taylor. Taylor offers the two girls to have diner together the next evening. Blanche cannot stand that Taylor wants Rose and not her. Rose shows her that she is more important to her that he is.
