'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. How to watch 'The Golden Girls' 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. Sign up for Hulu 'The Golden Girls' cast 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. How old are 'The Golden Girls' in the show? 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. How many seasons are there of 'The Golden Girls'? "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. How did 'Golden Girls' end? 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. Contributing: Olivia Munson, USA TODAY Melina Khan is a national trending reporter for USA TODAY. She can be reached at

Microsoft's Windows XP Crocs are no joke
Microsoft isn't done celebrating its 50th anniversary just yet. Multiple employees tell me that Microsoft has created limited edition Windows XP-themed Crocs. They even come with a Clippy shoe charm if the Bliss wallpaper on your feet wasn't enough 50-year nostalgia. The anniversary edition Crocs are currently available for preorder for Microsoft employees, who 'get first dibs' ahead of a 'worldwide launch,' I'm told. The $80 pair of Crocs include a six-pack of Microsoft Jibbitz that you can attach to your shoes, with nostalgic options like the original MSN logo, the Internet Explorer icon, Clippy, and a mouse pointer. On top the Crocs feature the iconic blue sky and clouds from the Windows XP wallpaper, with a green sole to mimic the grass. The photograph of the rolling hills and blue skies of California was initially a stock photo before Microsoft acquired the rights and used it as the default wallpaper for millions of Windows XP users. It could be the most viewed photograph in the world, making it an instantly recognizable image for many. You'll also get a Bliss drawstring backpack to wear, just in case onlookers were unclear if your footwear was the Windows XP wallpaper or not. Hopefully each pair won't smell like a dusty beige PC and Internet Explorer doesn't automatically install once you're wearing them. I asked Microsoft about its Windows XP Crocs, but the company refused to comment. I'm expecting to see an official announcement in the coming days.
