The trend in sitcoms during the late 1980's was to build a show around a stand-up comedian. The producers of The Golden Girls took their shot with stand-up comedian Lenny Clarke. This pilot, dated May, 14, 1990, was the first of two for CBS. I don't think it ever aired.
It is common for networks to revise a pilot after they buy it. Although the show had an outstanding cast and very talented producers & writers, sometimes these things just don't work. The series ran for only one season.
