10 'Golden Girls' Moments That Had Us Like, Whoa, They Went ThereSunday 24 March 2019
10 ‘Golden Girls’ Moments That Had Us Like, Whoa, They Went There Some may minimize The Golden Girls as a silly show about four old ladies. But the NBC series was a huge critical and commercial success. Over seven seasons, it racked up 68 Emmy nominations, 11 wins and ranked consistently as one of highest-rated programs during its run. Yeah, don’t estimate the power of four strong women with lots of experience. The reason for the massive success of The Golden Girls? Looking back on the series in the 27 years since its finale, the show was surprisingly progressive. They took on issues of the time that are still relevant today—gay rights, aging, dying with dignity—in ways that felt real and relatable. Here, ten moments the Girls really went there. ... WHEN DOROTHY CONFRONTS THE NEUROLOGIST WHO GASLIT HER It’s a problem many women have experienced—doctors don’t believe them and/or think they’re being “hysterical.” In the two-part episode, “Sick and Tired,” Dorothy has been feeling ill for the last few months, but all of her doctors write it off as anxiety over aging. It’s not, though. Eventually, Dorothy gets a diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome, and when she bumps into the neurologist who told her she was crazy, she confronts him saying, “I came to you sick. Sick and scared. And you dismissed me.” Moral of the story? Do not come for Dorothy—she’ll drag you.
