Terry Tang of the Associated Press reported that the series continues to attract new fans in the 21st century and characterized it as an example of a sitcom that has aged well. The show had an ensemble cast and the plot revolves around four older single women (three widows and one divorcée) sharing a house in Miami.
The owner of the house is a widow named Blanche Devereaux (McClanahan), who was joined by fellow widow Rose Nylund (White) and divorcée Dorothy Zbornak (Arthur), after they both responded to an ad on the bulletin board of a local grocery store a year before the start of the series. In the pilot episode, the three are joined by Dorothy's 80-year-old widowed mother, Sophia Petrillo (Getty), after the retirement home where she has been living has burned down. The first episode featured a cook/butler named Coco (played by Charles Levin), but the role was dropped before the second episode. The writers observed that in many of the proposed scripts, the main interaction between the women occurred in the kitchen while preparing and eating food. They decided that a separate cook would distract from their friendship. In addition, the character of Sophia had originally been planned as an occasional guest star, but Getty had tested positively with preview audiences, so the producers decided to make her a regular character. The Golden Girls came to an end when Bea Arthur chose to leave the series.
In the hour-long series finale, which aired in May 1992, Dorothy meets and marries Blanche's uncle Lucas ( Leslie Nielsen) and moves to Hollingsworth Manor in Atlanta. Sophia is to join her, but in the end, she stays behind with the other women in Miami. This led into the spin-off series, The Golden Palace. The series finale of The Golden Girls was watched by 27.2 million viewers.

Beatrice Arthur as Dorothy Zbornak (née Petrillo), a substitute teacher, was born in Brooklyn, New York City, to Sicilian immigrants, Sophia and Salvadore (Sal) Petrillo, Dorothy became pregnant while still in high school, resulting in a marriage to Stanley Zbornak ( Herb Edelman) to legitimize the baby. Stan and Dorothy divorced after 38 years when Stan left the marriage for a young flight attendant. The marriage produced two children, Kate and Michael.
In the series' final episode, Dorothy marries Blanche's uncle, Lucas Hollingsworth, and relocates to Atlanta. In season one, episode seven, Dorothy is stated to be 55. She is practical, sarcastic, easily angered, a follower of current events, and frequently the brunt of jokes about her supposed lack of attractiveness. #TROPICAL CUTIES STEPHANIE SET 24 SERIES#.
