I absolutely love The Golden Girls, it is a classic and compulsively watchable any time of the year and ideal for anybody.
The production values are top notch, with nice photography and the clothes and sets are pleasant on the eyes. The music is memorable, with a addictive and infectious main theme.
There is also the writing, which is also superb. While it is always funny, there is also room for poignancy which works wonders. The Golden Girls has great story lines as well, always well-constructed and entertaining with racy topics that understandably can be seen as controversial in the day.
The main cast are amazing to watch. I am especially accustomed to Betty White's(always a welcome presence) Rose, while Rue McClanahan is comedy gold. Estelle Getty has a strong character and works really well with it, likewise with Beatrice "Bea" Arthur. While these women have their conflicts and issues, deep down you can tell they genuinely care for each other.
All in all, a wonderful show and one of the best of the 80s, perhaps even ever. 10/10 Bethany Cox
