“It’s Not at All What We Wrote”: ‘Mid-Century Modern’s Creator Reacts to ’Golden Girls’ Comparison

Hulu's newest series, Mid-Century Modern, is now available to stream and co-creator Max Mutchnick is opening up about the television series' reception as well as comparisons to an iconic 80s sitcom. The series stars Matt Bomer (White Collar), Nathan Lane (The Producers), and Nathan Lee Graham (Zoolander) as a trio of friends in Palm Springs, California who move in together for a new chapter in their lives. Bomer plays Jerry Frank, Lane plays Bunny Schneiderman, and Graham plays Arthur Broussard. They're joined, for the first part of the series, by Linda Lavin, who plays Bunny's mother Sybil, until Lavin's real-life death in December cut her appearances short. If the basic premise of these three men, plus a mom all under one roof over the age of 65, sounds familiar, you may have heard of The Golden Girls.
