Making its debut in the fall of 1985, The Golden Girls quickly established itself as a fixture of Saturday night prime time television. Following the lives of four older women living together as roommates in Miami, the show displayed a raw wit and a biting humor. The women live in the house of Blanche Devereaux (Rue McClanahan), a Southern belle who loves men of every kind and has dated every eligible bachelor in the Miami area. Her roommates are former high school teacher Dorothy Zbornak (Bea Arthur) and St. Olaff housewife and widower Rose Nylund (Betty White). Rose loves to tell stories about her former hometown, much to the chagrin of the other girls. The three are joined by Dorothys mother, firebrand Sophia Petrillo (Estelle Getty), a spunky Italian immigrant who always speaks her mind. In her early-eighties, Sophia may walk at a measured pace, but the velocity of her sarcasm only increases with age. The Golden Girls (Season 2) DVD offers a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere End of the Curse in which Blanche comes to the conclusion that shes pregnant when, in reality, shes beginning menopause. The revelation throws her into a deep depression... The season premiere is followed by Ladies of the Evening in which the girls have tickets to the opening of a new Burt Reynolds movie (tickets that entitle them to meet the famous actor), but while waiting in a hotel lounge for the show to begin, theyre caught in a police raid and arrested for prostitution Other notable episodes include Rose dating a man named Isaac Newton, the girls taking care of an abandoned baby, and an aborted attempt (the season finale) to establish the cast of the later spin-off show Empty Nest Below is a list of episodes included on The Golden Girls (Season 2) DVD: Episode 26 (End of the Curse) Air Date: 09-27-1986
