If you grew up in the 80’s or 90’s you’ll immediately recognize these four ladies and the all-star cast of The Golden Girls. Even if you missed the original airings of the show during the seven seasons it was on the air, you probably saw it during syndication. Even now, two or three decades later, that theme song can still get stuck in your head. But that’s when you know it’s a good show, right? Well, fan or not, there are quite a few things that went on behind the scenes that’ll catch you by surprise and we decided to bring them all together for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

It was initially created for the popular show It Takes Two, but was fitted with different wallpaper for The Golden Girls.
