My name is Marc Sotkin. I was the show runner (Exec. Producer) on both Golden Girls and Laverne & Shirley. I also worked on other shows like Charles In Charge, Blansky's Beauties, and It's A Living among others. I've just been turned on to this site. If you have any questions, I love to talk TV.

Nougi asked me about an episode entitled 72 hours. I have no idea what that episode was - which leads me to a favorite story. I did 4 years of It's A Living before GG and always title shows that I write as The____Show. The ____is whatever the episode is about. So The Amy and Louie Show is the episode where Amy dates Louie. Easy to remember. When I went on GG the first episode I wrote was where Rose got a new job as a consumer reporter. I entitled it The Rose's New Job Show. I was told I couldn't do that on GG, that it would show a lack of caring. So in protest I started writing episodes with titles like, Ebbtide, Ebbtide's Revenge, Ebbtide IV The Wrath of Stan, etc. The titles meant nothing but, for some reason executives felt they showed more caring. But as a result, when someone asks me about an episode like 72 hours, I have no idea what the show was about. So, if you as me about the one where Rose does whatever - I'm happy to fill in the blanks.
