Golden Girls vs Sex and The City

Im watching some Golden Girls episodes today, and thought "wow, this is too much like SATC".

Although GG was first, it made me wonder if the creator of SATC took the story line from GG and revamped it with younger characters.

Can you see a new Golden Girls show happening with the SATC cast about 10 years from now????

Well the SATC television series was based on the novel by Candace Bushnell. She based her novel on a collection of her own newspaper articles, which were basically her observations of upper echelon NY party-goers, published in a NY paper. She is Carrie, that’s how the characters and initial storyline were created. HBO picked it up and ran with it from there. The actual producer of the SATC series, Alexa Junge , was a writer for Friends just before SATC premiered on HBO. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that GG and Friends were among her influences.

Simply answering your question, I can totally picture the SATC ladies going Golden. I can picture it but I don’t want to actually see it ;-); ▶ Reply to This

Does anyone know if the term "Golden Shower Girls" is already copywrited?

OTOH, if I'm simply channel surfing and find a channel with GG on it, even if its the last few minutes… I can stop, knowing that even in those last few moments I will be titillated and amused.

Actually that should be the other way around seeing as GG came first.
