So, in the intro, there are several scenes that clearly never made it to the pilot (or other episodes) that aired on CBS. Rose playing basketball with Oliver. Rose opening a guest’s door with towels and reacting to something, like the
a couple was fooling around. Sophia cooking with Chuy and dropping the ladle into the pot. Rose taking the suitcase which isn’t locked and all the clothes fall out. And the 3 of them arriving at TGP for the first time, with Blanche “bouncing” into the lobby. Either that was an unused take, or it was from the original unaired pilot. I also wonder if they used little vignettes from blocking and taping, and we see Rue and Billy slightly out of character. They did this for every intro on the 1980s sitcom Gimme a Break starring the late Nell Carter. Some bits were taken from episodes, and others were during camera blocking and taping rehearsals. The actual GaB pilot is also out there somewhere. I read that one of the daughters was originally a redheaded boy and it’s even seen in that week’s TV Guide. Wondering if anyone can confirm if these intro bits from TGP were indeed, from the unaired pilot, and blocking. I know for a fact that the final shot of everyone at the table eating was specifically made for the opening. And yes I know Golden Girls used some deleted scenes in the opening as well. |
