Love, Rose (#2.10)
ComedyFan201014 January 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Rose has a very long dry spell so the girls convince her to make a personal ad (ah, those days before dating sites!) but she gets no replies. So Blanche writes a letter to her under the name of Isaac Newton. And Rose decides to meet him, so she looks him up in a phone book and invites him to a banquet.

A very funny episode. I loved the Isaac Newton character. So funny! Especially I loved the part when he says that he almost started remembering writing the letters.

Sophia and that gold-digger chasing her was also a very amusing story. Just like when she tried to give him to Rose.

Sophia finds a good digger and Rose gets a blind date.

Warning: Spoilers
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.

Love Isaac Newton.

Blanche and Dorothy are busy dating, Rose is feeling as though she's been left on the shelf, they talk her into placing a personal advert.

Funny and absurd, it just goes to show what happens when friends try and meddle in people's love lives, well meaning or not.

Dorothy is at her absolute best here, her death stares are once again glorious, and some of her one liners were side splitting, that moment where she asked Blanche if any of her relatives were in Deliverance, class.

I just loved some of the fashions on show here, some things were hideous in the 1980's, but the fashions were so elegant, Dorothy wears some gorgeous gear. Rose looks fabulous.

Lovely and funny, 8/10.
