Almost from the premiere episode, J.J., an aspiring artist, was the public's favorite character on the show and his frequently-invoked catch phrase "Dyn-o-mite!" became very popular. As the series progressed through its second and third year, however, Rolle and Amos, who played the Evans parents, grew more disillusioned with the direction the show was taking as J.J.'s antics and stereotypically buffoonish behavior took precedence in the storylines. Rolle was rather vocal about disliking the character of J.J. in a 1975 interview with Ebony ...

The show starred Bea Arthur as Dorothy Zbornak, who maintained an arsenal of withering put-downs and killer glares; Betty White as the dense Scandanavian nit-wit Rose Nylund; Rue McClanahan as oversexed Southern belle Blanche Devereaux; and Estelle Getty as the wisecracking Sophia Petrillo, Dorothy's mother (although Getty is actually two months younger than Arthur so was heavily made up to seem much older). In the early days of casting, McClanahan auditioned for the role of Rose, while White auditioned for the role of Blanche. During its or ...

Many critics, from Public Enemy rapper Chuck D [1], to journalist George Curry [2], to students at University of Maryland, College Park and Howard University [3], to writer Keith Boykin [4], to cartoonist Aaron McGruder of The Boondocks, have protested BET's programming and actions. One of the most commonly-heard criticisms is the fact that the network is almost solely based upon music entertainment, hip hop music in particular, and does not focus on the public affairs of the black community. This is a problem that has been made worse ...

The Facts of Life was a spinoff of the sitcom Diff'rent Strokes. The spinoff focused on Charlotte Rae's character, Edna Garrett, as she became housemother to seven young girls at the Eastland Academy in Peekskill, New York. The show was originally meant to be a summer series in 1979, but the head of programming decided to bring it back in early 1980. After a thirteen-episode run, the show was retooled extensively. Four of the actresses, Felice Schachter, Julie Piekarski, Julie Anne Haddock, and Molly Ringwald, were writt ...

The Golden Girls was quite risqué for its time, as its main characters were four single older women who lived together, but were still up-to-date with pop culture and sexually active. Mild profanity and strong sexual innuendo were common on the program. Estelle Getty's character, Sophia, was written as a woman who had a stroke that destroyed the part of her brain that censored her speech, thus enabling her to get away with much more than the other women. Nevertheless, the show was hugely successful ...

The show was created by Susan Harris, who had also created the sitcoms Soap and Benson. In its later years, it was followed by Harris' other series Empty Nest and Nurses, both of which took place in Miami. Because of this, the three shows would occasionally have specials where characters from one show made appearances in the other ones in order to boost ratings. The premise of the show was four older women sharing a fashionable house together. Blanche owned the house, while Dorothy and Rose responded to an ad for roommates, ...

The Golden Girls was one of the last sitcoms to have its complete initial run before the widespread advent of the Internet. With fans of a TV show now able to watch and discuss each episode, offer suggestions and even point out continuity mistakes, writers and producers have the option of keeping much better tabs on their potential viewers. As The Golden Girls took place before such avenues of communication were as widely available, the characters were written more as "concepts first, people second." While the sitcom was not un ...
