I always hated that show. I hated Bea Arthur with a passion, and hated that we had to act like Rue McLanahan was sexy just because she had a showy rack. Betty White’s St. Olav stories and Estell Getty only partly made up for them.
For someone who hated the show, it sounds like you watched a lot of it before coming to your conclusions. Ha ha.
Wait what? I watch this show a ton, and have no idea what you are talking about. Seems like you loved this show.
The producers’ original desire was to have Betty White play Blanche and Rue McClanahan to play Rose, but the actresses had played similar roles in the past and didn’t want to be typecast, so their roles were switched.
