I actually think Golden Girls could be a blast. It’s definitely an old show but it has a huuuge ongoing fan base. GG branded stuff is all over places like Etsy. It’d have plenty of great material for funny sound/video clips, a la family guy. And it would be nice to see them try a fresh color palette, capturing that sort of 80’s Miami vibe.

I realize most of these reasons don’t interest the usual pinball audience, but I think that was the point of this discussion. A GG game could definitely attract some new interest.

Quoted from Rarehero:
We all joke about Golden Girls....but if you have some chill time to watch a few episodes, it is still flat out hilarious. You just don't see level of comedy writing and a cast that plays off each other so well like that anymore. Also, the show has sort of had a resurgence. Lots of people rediscovering it during quarantine...it has a mix of passionate old-school fans and new people treating it as kind of a cult classic. Betty White is everyone's grandma now. Honestly, I think people who think it's a goofy idea would still play it ironically, laugh and have a good time.

Yep, this is exactly what I was thinking. Lots of great material to mine, and an enthusiastic fan base.
I wouldn’t know what metrics to look up, but I have to imagine that Golden Girls is at least as popular as The Munsters currently is.
