Golden Girls Quiz/Trivia Thread

[Bort]

Long running shows are good fodder for game threads.

This one is easy: come up with a random trivia question. Whoever answers asks the next question. (You don’t need to wait for confirmation that you’re correct, go ahead and ask the next one when you answer.)

I’ll start with something easy.
