As a male kid I thought that show was funny when it originally aired. My wife watched it alot on reruns 2-3 years ago and it was funny then too. I must've seen every episode 5 times.

RIP.

But "Blanche" for the character's name? Was that a common name?

Blanche was a more common name a few generations ago

I thought we'd lost three out of four golden girls?

Rue, Bea Arthur, and Estelle Getty....

It's the feminine of "White", in French. It was pretty common around here about 50 years ago.
