The most brilliant comedy series in history, The Golden Girls, starts off with an impressive and hilarious first episode.
The very first episode deals with Blanche, and her engagement to a suspicious man. However, it's really Dorothy, Rose, and the introduction of Sophia that steal the episode.
This first episode is crucial, because it makes us realize who these women are. Dorothy is intelligent and sarcastic, Rose is dimwitted, Blanche is sexy, and Sophia is grumpy. All are explored in this classic first episode.
The only complaint is Coco, who thankfully was written out of the series after this episode. His character goes nowhere, and is borderline offensive.
