| | BBC - Comedy Guide - The Golden Girls |
 | | Best known for creating and writing the sensational Soap, Susan Harris created The Golden Girls with a mission in mind: to dispel the hoary old myth that, in her own words, 'when you grow older you are no longer vital, attractive, sexy and smart'. |
 | | The series focused entirely on these four, this being the premise: a widowed Southern 'belle', Blanche, advertises for two new people to share her Miami Beach home, to provide company but, more importantly, to apportion the costs. |
 | | Blanche's initials spell out BED (her full name is Blanche Elizabeth Devereaux) and, truth is, she thinks of little else, with sex, not sleep, uppermost. |
