Thank you for being a...flop? How could a beloved sitcom like “The Golden Girls” dish out a much-disliked spinoff like “The Golden Palace” in 1992. Did the continuing adventures of Rose, Blanche, and Sophia mean nothing to us back then? Or were we simply not interested in learning about hotel management? Whatever the reason, the one-season misfire was met with disappointed fans and ever-dwindling ratings. But, decades later, were we too hard on these sassy seniors? Did our blind love of Bea Arthur damage any chance of the “Palace” making it? The Old Roommates slice up some cheesecake and give the show another chance. Listen to this.
