The Golden Palace (1992–1993)
9/10
How'd I not know about this gem?!
31 December 2022
I had zero clue this show existed until I just saw it on Hulu. Watched the whole thing in 2 days. It's fantastic! Why did it only last 1 season?

I was born just before Golden Girls started so I didn't watch it in its original run, nor did my parents so it wasn't a nostalgia show for me. Obviously I have seen a bunch of episodes in reruns but never in order and nowhere near all of them. It's obviously a gem of a show. It's absolutely hilarious and the dynamic among the 4 women.

This show opens after Dorothy leaves in the last episode of Golden Girls. The remaining 3 women pool their money and buy a hotel in Miami. The cast is 5 characters- Sophia, Blanche, Rose and the hotel manacher and the hotel cook, played by none other than Don Cheedle and Cheech Marin, respectively. They are fantastic together and the injection of the 2 new male characters is absolutely perfection. I laughed out loud multiple times in every single episode. The characters we already know have the same relationships and jabs at each other and the other two just join in so naturally. Gosh I just loved it so much. You can tell they didn't know it was getting cancelled because there was no wrap up.

Definitely give it a watch!
