I know that I'm in the minority, but I really liked The Golden Girls spinoff 'The Golden Palace' In the early episodes, you could hear the ocean when the girls were out on the lanai and see a smattering of palm trees in the background, giving the idea that they were right on the ocean.but in later seasons they backed off that idea the bushes 'got taller' to block the view, and there was no more wave noise playing in the background. Golden Girls continuity (or lack thereof) is a whole other topic, though.

Did they think that NBC would not pick up the pilot for a series? Susan Harris shows like this one always feature tons of scenes in the kitchen some of the stuff in early Golden Girls episodes mirrors stuff done in the kitchen at the Tate house on Soap, and the kitchen set on Benson was probably the central set of that series. I'd read elsewhere that the set designers had not built a kitchen set for the pilot because they originally had no scenes set in it-but logic should have told them that they would need one eventually as the show went to series. The closest I can figure is that the garage would have to be on the other side of the 'fourth wall' (the missing wall of the living room and kitchen), but even that is.well, over-thinking it. The home originally used for the establishing shots (which was actually in Brentwood, CA, and not Miami) had a garage door and a front door both pointing toward the street. So that was a 5 BR house.Īlso, wiki says that the kitchen was recycled from another show (It Takes Two) and I found this article noting the producers acknowledge the 'house' layout made no sense. I came across an episode last week where Sophia's sister was visiting and she was staying in the guest room. Once again, I may have put too much thought into this Actually, I have a hard time seeing how there could be a window in the kitchen looking out at all because, even though the hallway was diagonal from the living room, there would need to be space for the rooms on the rightside of the hallway. Now, there could have been a detatched garage, I understand that, but still, the deep hallway that leads to at least 4 bedrooms and one bathroom should have stretched farther out to where you'd see it through the window in the kitchen. But that door would have run directly into the hallway that exits the front room. The door from the kitchen supposedly lead to the garage. The conversation about the house brought back one of the things that really always annoyed me. She also played Sofia Petrillo on an episode of Blossom & Nurses.
