Thirty years ago this week, “The Golden Girls” ended its cheesecake-fueled seven-season run with an unforgettable finale that involved an awkward date, a savage prank, an unexpected wedding and a tearful goodbye.
In the two-part episode, “One Flew Out of the Cuckoo’s Nest,” which aired May 9, 1992, Blanche has plans the night her Uncle Lucas is visiting and pawns him off on Dorothy , telling each that the other is eager to meet. But when Dorothy and Lucas realize they were lied to, they scheme to teach Blanche a lesson by pretending they’ve hit it off and are getting married.
Blanche , Rose and Sophia attend the wedding of Dorothy and Lucas in the 1992 finale of "The Golden Girls."“I remember, she was very moved by the last episode,” Hurwitz said of Arthur. “And she wrote me this lovely note about it. And that was really a privilege. I always felt lucky to be there at all. And to be given a chance to write something that was meaningful for her was really special.
“It really kind of mirrored reality. I remember there were a lot of goodbyes said that week,” he said. “And she didn’t want to leave. I think Dorothy didn’t want to leave and I think Bea Arthur didn’t really want to leave.” “I think it was a great match with Bea Arthur because they’re both such formidable presences, and they looked good together,” he said.
The "Golden Girls" finale's wedding scene included voice-overs revealing all the characters' thoughts.However, he still considers the finale a classic episode at its heart, “because it really was about their relationships.”
