Pine no more! For the first time since 1997, The Golden Girls are back on broadcast TV! The beloved 1980s and ’90s sitcom is now airing on MeTV, alongside comedy royalty like Everybody Loves Raymond, M*A*S*H, The Andy Griffith Show, and The Carol Burnett Show. You can reunite with Blanche, Rose, Dorothy, and Sophia weeknights from 10/9c to 11/10c and Sundays at 6/5c, and again on Sundays from 8/7c to 10/9c (for the full schedule and where to watch, visit MeTV.com).

Recently celebrating its 40th anniversary, The Golden Girls has remained vital and hilarious in spite of its years, much like its legendary cast. The series broke barriers by centering four women of a certain age sharing a Miami home: sarcastic and uncompromising Dorothy (Bea Arthur), delightful but ditzy Rose (Betty White), fearlessly flirtatious Blanche (Rue McClanahan), and wise and wisecracking Sophia (Estelle Getty). Where other shows often made women over 50 a punch line, The Golden Girls delivered the punch lines.
