GOLDEN GIRLS, THE: END OF THE CURSE {SECOND SEASON PREMIERE} (TV)
Summary
One in this comedy series about four older women -- two widows, and a divorcee and her mother -- who share a home in Miami and help each other to cope with growing older and being single again. In this episode, Rose and Dorothy start a business: breeding mink for fur. In the meantime, Blanche won't leave her room, has stopped eating and is depressed. She conducted a home pregnancy test and had positive results. Ironically, Blanche feels worse when her doctor tells her that she isn't pregnant; the symptoms are that of menopause. When Blanche finally confides in Dorothy and Rose, they try to talk her into seeing a psychiatrist. As it turns out, the state of depression proves catchy for Rose and Dorothy when they discover that the minks won't reproduce. After a veterinarian confirms that the minks are past their prime, the girls plot a growing-old strategy for one and all. Commercials deleted.
