Golden Miami

There was something homey and comforting to sit around with my Grandma Marie and watching the Golden Girls. As have been planning a trip to Miami and looking at all the hospitable hotels in Miami Florida it came to me how much fun we would have together. We would grab some dinner and then share some ice cream or a box of cookies while watching the television series, Golden Girls. My grandmother has now passed on and so have some of the great actresses that were starring in the show but a few live on.

The show centered around four older ladies who lived in Miami and share a home. They were Blanche Devereaux played by Rue McClanahan, Rose Nylund played by Betty White, Dorthy Zbornack played by Bea Arthur and Sophia Petrillo played by Estelle Getty. It started with the owner of the house Blanche taking in her friend Rose after she was widowed. Then came long Dorothy who responded to a room for rent add after a divorce. Then Dorothy’s mother moved in when the retirement home burned down.

It was just an everyday comedy that kept you laughing. The writers Kathy Speer and Terry Grossman, first four years and Marc Sotkin for later years, did a great job with the one liners and silly twists. It won some awards in the entertainment and television arenas. All the ladies won an Emmy Award for there characters played on the show. The writers also won Emmy Awards for Outstanding Comedy Series. There were a few Golden Globes for Best TV series and Best performance by an actress in a TV series for Estelle Getty. This are only a few awards the show was given or nominated for. If your going to go hang out with the old folks in Florida than brush up on your Golden Girls trivia.
