NBC Greenlights ‘The Golden Girls’ Reunion Show
Entire cast returning for one night.
From a bush outside of the comcast offices, I can now confirm that NBC is returning to Miami to catch up with Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, and Sophia in another reunion episode of ‘The Golden Girls.’ Tom Finch, an exec who’s greenlit many hits and is well past his prime, confirmed the reunion show, during a conference call earlier today.
“We are desperate for post-Olympic content,” Finch said, pointing to a chart of Peacock subscribers with the line plummeting down. “There were plenty of new ideas out there we were considering, but none of them felt like they would attract a big audience. Then I remembered how much I loved The Golden Girls. And if I love something, that surely means trillions of others love it too.”
Finch recalled some of his favorite moments in The Golden Girls historic series run, before sharing details about some of the biggest roadblocks for this reunion.
“The cast all being dead drew some concern from leadership,” Finch said, before reiterating that characters for the reunion episode would not be recast. “We wanted to go the AI route, but then we saw that all the AI stuff wasn’t actually AI and just tech-bros usings all filming techniques that we’ve been using for years. So, then we brought in a medium who was able to channel Bea Arthur. Bea spoke to some people on her end, and we were able to work out an agreement to shoot the reunion on a set in hell.”
The Golden Girls fans have spoken out on the news of the reunion, none more than superfan, Rose Blanche Smith, who has raised concerns on tarnishing the show’s legacy and on shooting in hell.
“I don’t think it’s smart for them to enter the 9 circles of h-e-double hockey stick,” Smith said in an interview earlier this week, while wearing her ‘Thank you for being a friend’ turtleneck. “It’s great that the girls were reunited in eternal torment, but that doesn’t mean we should add to the pain and keep bringing the show back. It’s clear that NBC is morally and creatively bankrupt.”
At press time a camera crew started the long trek into the depths of hell. The bush I hid in for this scoop was a Dante Bush.
