Ahead of International Women’s Day, Roku released new survey data ranking viewers’ favorite female friendships on TV—and one classic comedy took the top spot.
The iconic foursome—played by Bea Arthur, Betty White, Rue McClanahan and Estelle Getty—anchored the NBC sitcom from 1985 to 1992. The series followed four older women sharing a house in Miami while navigating relationships, careers and life together, often gathering around the kitchen table for late-night conversations and cheesecake.
During its seven-season run, The Golden Girls was both a critical and ratings success. The sitcom earned multiple Emmy Awards, including wins for each of its four leading actresses—a rare achievement in television.
