Hulu to stream every Golden Girls episode
Quote:
At the Television Critics Association press tour this weekend Hulu unveiled its new lineup, including original series like The Handmaid’s Tale, The Looming Tower and season two of The Path .
But its the streaming service’s acquisition of a TK-year-old series that had the crowd in a tizzy: Hulu has scored exclusive rights to stream all 177 episodes of The Golden Girls.
Golden Girls, which ran on NBC from 1985 to 1992, has long been a favorite with the LGBT community, and continues to air on Logo.
“There’s a million reasons we love it—but I think there’s really two big ones,” says Jim Colucci, author of Golden Girls Forever. “There’s the campiness and humor, of course. We love the zingers.”
But, on a deeper level, Dorothy, Rose, Blanche and Sophia were also a surrogate family. “Gay people aren’t always embraced by their biological family,” says Colucci, “so we love the idea that you can forge this unbreakable bond with people you’re not related to.”
Though Golden Girls has been on the air in reruns since before it was canceled in 1992, the beloved sitcom has never been showcased in its entirety on a streaming platform.
