The special chronicles the making of “The Golden Girls,” from its early inception and pilot episode to becoming one of the most treasured shows in television history. At a time when Hollywood heavily favored youth, “The Golden Girls” famously put four older women — Bea Arthur, Betty White, Rue McClanahan and Estelle Getty — front and center, using uninhibited comedy to rewrite the narrative for women over 50. Often tackling taboo and groundbreaking topics, the sitcom redefined aging, while its timeless appeal has attracted new audiences and created a lasting influence on pop culture.
