'Golden Girls' to mark 40th anniversary: Look back at iconic sitcom, how to rewatch

It's been four decades of being a friend to Blanche, Dorothy, Rose and Sophia. "The Golden Girls" marks its 40th anniversary in September, but the iconic sitcom that followed the lives of four single women is still resonating with viewers today. The show, which starred Beatrice Arthur, Betty White, Rue McClanahan and Estelle Getty, debuted on Sept. 14, 1985 and ran for seven seasons on NBC. It was considered progressive for its time, in part for depicting four independent, sex-positive women over the ages of 50. Grab a slice of cheesecake and head to your nearest lanai — here's what to know about the milestone anniversary. All seasons of "The Golden Girls" are available to watch on Hulu or Disney+ with a Hulu subscription. Hulu offers two streaming plans, including one with ads and one without. The ad-supported plan costs $9.99/month or $99.99/year. The ad-free plan is available for $18.99/month. There is also a bundle option for Hulu and Disney+, which includes access to both platforms starting at $10.99/month. Watch the Golden Girls on Hulu The ensemble cast of "The Golden Girls" featured Beatrice Arthur (Dorothy), Betty White (Rose), Rue McClanahan (Blanche) and Estelle Getty (Sophia). Arthur, who was also known for her work in "All in the Family" and "Maude," portrayed Dorothy, a substitute teacher and divorcee on the show. Getty appeared as Sophia, Dorothy's mother. White, who died in 2021 just shy of her 100th birthday, played a widow and mother of five, Rose, who was known for her naivety. McClanahan's character, Blanche, was the Southern belle of the group and also a widow. Sophia was the oldest of the four main Golden Girls. In the season two episode "Piece of Cake," Sophia revealed that she turned 50 in April 1956, making her around 79 years old in season one. The youngest Golden Girl was Blanche. In the show's third season, Blanche said she was 17 years old in 1949, so when the series began in 1985, she was about 53 years old. Rose was 55 during the show's first season, as revealed in the episode "Job Hunting." In the season three episode "Nothing to Fear, But Fear Itself," Sophia said Dorothy was conceived in 1931, making her 54 years old at the start of the show. "The Golden Girls" ran for seven seasons from 1985 to 1992. In addition to its 180-episode span, the show produced several spin-offs, including "The Golden Palace" and "Empty Nest." During its run, "The Golden Girls" won 11 Emmy awards and four Golden Globe Awards. All the lead actresses won Emmy awards for their role on the show as well. The series finale of "The Golden Girls" aired as a two-part episode on May 9, 1992. During the episodes, Blanche tries to set her Uncle Lucas up with Dorothy, but Dorothy and Lucas instead trick her into thinking the couple hit it off and decided to get married. By the end of the ruse, Dorothy and Lucas decide to wed for real. In the end, Dorothy moves out of the Miami home she shared with Blanche, Rose and Sophia to live with Lucas in Atlanta. The latter three women went on to star in "The Golden Palace" spin-off. Watch the Golden Girls on Hulu Contributing: Olivia Munson, USA TODAY

Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. We finally found where 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' is. Starting Thursday, Aug. 28, Las Vegas Sphere will host larger-than-life, wraparound screenings of the iconic 1939 film 'The Wizard of Oz.' At each and every show, crowds will be whisked to a 360° version of Dorothy and Toto's tumbleweed Kansas hometown with Uncle Henry and Aunty Em's humble farm crowding the 160,000 sq. foot and 16K resolution screen. Then, one earth-shaking tornado later, you'll end up in Oz's candy-colored Munchkinland, plucky poppy fields and majestic Emerald City. To top it all off, vibrating haptic seats, environmental effects and custom scents will add to the surreal, immersive experience. 'Imagine what it would be like to be in a tornado in the Sphere where you've got wind coming at you, you've got scents coming at you, you've got leaves coming at you, your hair is flying all over, you feel as though you are in that tornado with Dorothy, and that's what it's all about,' Sphere President Jennifer Koester told The Hollywood Reporter. 'You're not going to watch a movie, you are going to live a movie. You're going to feel it, see it, touch it, smell it.' And, yes, there will be flying monkeys. Oh, boy, will there ever be flying monkeys. In the event you'd like to attend, tickets are available for over 400 (!) 'Wizard of Oz' showings from opening day up until Dec. 19.

Other 2025 shows at Las Vegas Sphere When Dorothy, Tin Man, Cowardly Lion and Scarecrow aren't traipsing down the Yellow Brick Road, many other exciting shows will take the reins at Vegas' premier entertainment destination. Here's what's up next at the one-of-a-kind venue. Sphere shows 'Postcard From Earth' Runs indefinitely Academy Award-nominated director Darren Aronofsky's ambitious, immersive, globetrotting film. 'V-U2' Runs indefinitely A look back at U2's groundbreaking Sphere residency. Backstreet Boys July 18 through Aug. 24 The boy band revisits their beloved 'Millennium' album. Insomniac x Tomorrowland: Unity Aug. 29 through Oct. 18 A huge EDM festival with headliners to be announced at a later date.

If you're planning a Las Vegas trip, you can find a complete calendar of all upcoming events at the Sphere here. 'Wicked' on Broadway East Coasters who want their 'Oz' fix can catch the long-running musical 'Wicked' at the Gershwin Theatre on Broadway. Wondering if a touring version of the show is headed to a theater near you? Check out 'Wicked's' complete schedule here. 'Wizard of Oz' at Sphere promotions Ahead of the premiere, the fine folks at Sphere have gone above and beyond building intrigue for the soon-to-be game-changing reimagining of the 1939 film. First, in tandem with the announcement of the screening series, Sphere had massive, 22-foot ruby red slippers jut out from under the massive venue. More recently, they've advertised the terrifying flying monkeys by having them flutter outside the orb. Even watching on Instagram will stop you right in your tracks. Personally, we're partial to their spellbinding video set to Judy Garland's gorgeous rendition of 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow.' Try watching without tearing up. We dare you. Plus, these days, the Venetian Casino is hosting a free and open to the public installation that 'celebrates the classic film in a modern way.' Of course, fans that have followed the making of this groundbreaking show are likely aware of the AI controversy surrounding the production. Obviously, adapting a 4:3 film to a canvas as wide as Sphere's would mean taking some creative 'ethical' liberties. 'The Sphere team, with the aid of Warner Bros., found props and set designs from the original movie so objects such as photos on the wall in Professor Marvel's caravan could be generated onto the screen,' USA Today reported. 'We're trying to be tasteful with these things,' Award-winning technician Glenn Derry told the publication, about incorporating 4D effects. 'I don't want to distract from the film because it's one of the great masterpieces. You want people to be part of it, but balance that with not being distracting.' Huge Las Vegas residencies Curious what other spectacular shows are going down in the Entertainment Capital of the World these next few months? In that case, here are just five of the biggest biggies you won't want to miss IRL in the near future. • Bruno Mars (Aug. 22 through Sept. 6) • Janet Jackson (Sept. 10-20) • Alanis Morissette (Oct. 15 through Nov. 2) • Dolly Parton (Dec. 4-13) • Jennifer Lopez (Dec. 30, 2025 through March 28, 2026) Not going to Las Vegas anytime soon?
