From what I have gathered about the show from imdb.com it is exceptionally popular, and has actually won two Emmys for writing: one in 1986, and another in 1987.
The fundamental thing to remember when writing comedy is that it is harmless tragedy. Many would call this show was the first real “Sex and the City”, but in all fairness I am going off of nothing other then what other imdb.com users are posting. I have never really seen an episode of “Golden Girls”, nor do I plan to, but from looking at what episodes are about it is possible to isolate the elements that made the writing funny. I’m not saying this is going to be the most impressive analytical piece I have ever done, especially considering I have never seen the show.
One summary that caught my eye was for episode three of season one:
28 September 1985
Rose is afraid of sexual intimacy with her boyfriend, Arnie, because she feels she would be cheating on her late husband, Charlie.

The elements that are important to note is the subject of sex and the social awkwardness that is frequently attributed to it. Since we all ready have the meat of the issue, we can add a little seasoning to it by adding the absurdity of Rose worrying about cheating on her dead husband.
This is a very rudimentary analysis of the literary analysis of the script, and definitely not my best, but it is the best I can do with my current resources, and only 250 words to write it in.
