FLASHBACK: ANOTHER WORLD on GOLDEN GIRLS

With the passing of Bea Arthur, I'm reminded of many of the classic GOLDEN GIRLS episodes. One that came to mind was from season one in 1986 when Dorothy, Rose, and Blanche all had the flu at the same time. At one point, Blanche (ex-Caroline, ANOTHER WORLD) wants to watch ANOTHER WORLD.

Blanche: It's time for ANOTHER WORLD.

Dorothy: You can't watch ANOTHER WORLD.

Blanche: And why not?

Dorothy: Because you watched it yesterday.

Blanche: That's exactly why I have to watch it today, Dorothy, to find out what happens. That's why they always say, "stay tuned for the continuing story of ANOTHER WORLD."

Dorothy: Too bad, Blanche. Today is my day to choose and we are not watching ANOTHER WORLD!

A couple of years later Betty White guest starred on ANOTHER WORLD as Brenda Barlowe, an old girlfriend of Mac's, as part of "Where's Betty?", an NBC promotion,. Here's a clip from the GOLDEN GIRLS episode where the exchange above happens.
