While many love The Golden Girls for its joyful, comedic plotlines, I've realized the show is iconic for other, slightly less obvious reasons. After nostalgically rewatching countless episodes, I have developed a newfound appreciation for the series's set design.
Falling somewhere between retro and grandmillennial, almost every episode dons a rather statement background. First debuting in 1985, the show's interiors are undeniably time capsules, filled with vintage prints, retro furnishings, and rather opulent fixtures, indicative of the kitschy luxury of the 1980s. While some might say they're a little dated, the set has a fundamental role in The Golden Girls' legendary status.
