Golden Palace stuff
Jan. 11th, 2022 11:06 pmMichelle just noted that Golden Palace is on Hulu.
It's crazy that it really did just decide to immediately follow up from Golden Girls. I can see why the series wouldn't have the same dynamic that kept the show going. The premise is kind of silly and when you add such a diverse cast you're kind of trying to write in a way that gives 50% more cast members the chance to get good zingers. And again, the premise is very weird. People in the 90s also might not have been that ready for the kind of progressive concepts this was pushing even from a show that brought up current event concerns.
Also I saw the cast list and holy shit: Don Cheadle AND Cheech Marin were regular cast members? I don't know whether it's crazier that Don looks so different back then or that Cheech looks so much like he does now.
