Rose the Prude (Season 1, Episode 3)
WELCOME TO EPISODE 3 OF THE GOLDEN GIRLS DEEP DIVE PODCAST! Starting from the beginning of the show, each week we recap an episode of The Golden Girls and we end each episode with a fully researched deep dive into something from the Golden Girls universe!
In episode 3, Rose is invited on a Blind date. Shenanigans ensue when Rose and her date really hit it off, resulting in him inviting her on a cruise where they would be sharing a single state room. Rose has to consider whether she’s ready to that that “special next step” with a man for the first time since her husband died.
For this week’s deep dive, Jenn will tell us all about the fabulous life and career of National Treasure Betty White, who was a television pioneer, a real hoot at a party, and the on-set annoyance of Bea Arthur.
