Gumball referencing The Golden Girls

I know it's common for kids' shows to write jokes that go over the kids' heads aimed at the parents so the parents won't feel like killing themselves while watching with their children.... But it seems the people who make Gumball weren't really aiming for the parents with that one, but rather the great-grandparents. :| My Grandma on my dad's side was a big Golden Girls fan. I think she was able to become a great-grandmother before she died. Conversely, I THINK my grandma on mom's side was a Golden Girls fan, but I KNOW she was a great-grandmother before she died.

Some kids who couldn't afford sitters or only had 1 parent tended to grow up watching it with their grandparents. Cheap shows also get purchased and replayed on networks to fill time. That way the network doesn't have to pay to produce more shows and give something for advertisers to utilize.
