Even though she recently turned 90, White is still going strong. White’s part in the show seems obviously integral due to her star power. Humorous moments like these run throughout the show, but they often fall a bit flat.
The best moments of the show are when the senior actors are out on the street actually pranking younger individuals: One of the elderly men walks down the street followed by his powered wheelchair, one of the female actors talks loudly on her cell phone about needing the morning-after pill, another of the female actors asks a teenager to text her soon-to-be daughter-in-law that she’s a tramp, and yet another talks to a younger woman about her eventful trip to Las Vegas before putting on a nun’s veil and walking off. Vignettes of pranking moments run throughout the entire episode, while Betty White hosts the show with her own small skits. The reality show, which aired its second episode last Wednesday, April 4 (the pilot aired in January), follows a group of elderly actors (many of whom look familiar, but it’s hard to connect faces to actual older movies) who prank young, unsuspecting strangers. What do you get when you replace Ashton Kutcher in “Punk’d” with Betty White, his band of non-famous actors with even older non-famous actors, and celebrities with young people? You get “Betty White’s Off Their Rockers,” the new reality show on NBC that attempts to take “Punk’d” to a whole new level. Unless you’re a banana.Betty White attends the 57th Annual Writers Guild Awards at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, California on February 19, 2005. “My mother always used to say, ‘The older you get, the better you get. And at Christmas, I’ve been known to put away more than one eggnog.” And occasionally, I run through the sprinklers and don’t wear a bathing cap. Rose eagerly agreed when Blanche told her, “I’ve got a feeling you’re a wild woman.” “I thought you wore too much makeup and were a slut,” Rose said. When Blanche dared to ask Rose her first impression of her, she got an honest answer.
And the sheriff died.”įortunately Rose was joking, much to the consternation of her friends. “And the sheriff, I told him about me, how I kill men and he didn’t believe me,” a distraught Rose says. She later tells her roommates Blanche (McClanahan) and Dorothy Zbornak (played by Bea Arthur) that she slept with another man named Arnie and he also died. Her husband, Charlie Nylund, had previously died during a bout of their lovemaking, so Rose begins to believe she’s lethal to men. In an episode entitled “In a Bed of Rose’s,” Rose sleeps with a man named Al Beatty and he dies in her bed. The following are some of the Rose’s best moments and lines on the show. So Rue McClanahan was cast as Blanche, and White became sweet, ditzy Rose, one of the most beloved of the “Golden Girls.” The show’s director, Jay Sandrich, however, had worked with White on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and thought the Blanche character was too close to White’s role on it, Sue Ann Nivens.

White was originally supposed to portray the hot-to-trot widow Blanche Devereaux on the comedy series about four senior women living together in Miami. Betty White wasn’t supposed to play Rose Nylund on “The Golden Girls,” but we are so grateful that she did.
