Decent, if unremarkable episode, focuses on Blanche's interference in Rose's love life and Sophia's dealings with a pesky old man who thinks that she's a wealthy widow. Paul Dooley plays Issac Q. Newton, the awkward blind date whom Rose contacts after Blanche creates phony responses to Rose's personal's column. He is written to be unbelievably stupid, confusing a seat in the ladies room with a toilet and just saying the most bizarre things. Colin Drake manages to create a more believable character as the 90 something old man following Sophia around like a puppy but having ulterior moments. Bea Arthur doesn't really have much in the way of story here, but as usual provides the voice of reason. It's just an ok episode that is quickly forgotten afterwards.
