By Lyndsay Rogers Approaching this piece, I found it difficult to find a starting point. To say television (in any form) has changed any aspect of my life is drastic—I’m the girl who has the ‘Kill your T.V.!’ button attached to her backpack. Religion changes lives. Love changes lives. Art. Children. Traveling. Money. Surely a television show couldn’t change my life? Yet, I continue to write, surprised at myself because there is one television show that has influenced me since girlhood. Even now, when people ask me what television shows I like, I often retort common answers like Game of Thrones or Once Upon a Time, but I continue to surprise with my ultimate number one, The Golden Girls. With the ability to continuously manipulate and transform my perception, this show has always transfixed me. Coming on right as I was settling in for sleep, The Golden Girls became my night-cap, making me tingly with laughter, coating my heart in comfort, and soothing my soul with reassurance. As I’ve grown, I’ve discovered that it is this feeling of reassurance that has not just impacted me, but has transformed the fiber of both my head and my heart.
