    Storyline

    • Trivia

    • Goofs
      Depending on the episode, the police called Blanche to inform her her husband was killed in a car accident, or her husband died from a coma brought on by injuries from a car accident.
    • Quotes
      • Rose: I don't think lying is really a good idea. I once cut school and that proved very bad.
      • Dorothy: Oh, Rose. We've all cut school. It couldn't have been that bad.
      • Rose: Oh, yes it was. That was the day they taught EVERYTHING.
      • Dorothy: The final piece of the puzzle.
    • Alternate versions
      Season 1 (1985-1986) had a slightly different opening sequence consisting of a different shot of the city behind the show's title, one different clip in-between the credits for 'Beatrice Arthur' and Betty White, and a different clip behind the credit for Rue McClanahan. This open was replaced with the 1986 opening for syndication. The original opening has been restored to the season 1 DVD release.
