The first season of The Golden Girls had an episode titled "That Was No Lady", in which Dorothy, at first unknowingly, has an affair with a married man. It's the prequel to an episode from Season 5 titled "Cheaters" when that same man contacts Dorothy after his divorce. I was thrilled to be able to buy the all 7 seasons from Google Play, but from now on I will question (and research) any series if I purchase again in the future.

This creation of the golden girls has never been surpassed by any other tv series in the world. It is real, funny, very sensitive, sensinble,way ahead of its time and the actors were just exceptional. Most of our new series today are actually taking a lot of lines from the Golden Girls... I own them all and will never be tired of watching them again and again...
