Oh, welcome to Out on the Lanai, the only Golden Girls podcast you're ever going to need to listen to.

I am Sadie Pines slash H. Allen Scott. Thank you.

And I'm Carrie Doherty. You're welcome.

You're welcome. And this is a podcast where we used to and sometimes still do watch episodes of the Golden Girls and then talk about them.

But we ran out of episodes a while ago and now we're back to them. And then we watched all of the Golden Palace, you know, the spinoff. And then we ran out of those episodes. So now, now we do whatever the hell we want. Yes. Today we are doing a Beyond Golden Girls episode where we cover the many film and TV projects that B, Betty, Rue,

and Estelle did outside of the Golden Girls during the course of their careers.

And today we are covering a B project.

We just watched the 1988 ABC TV movie, My First Love, which is basically a long episode of the Golden Girls, but a sliding

doors version where Dorothy never divorced Stanley and he instead died and she enters the dating

world as a widow instead of a divorcee. And you can watch this movie on YouTube. We will link it in

the show notes.

H. Alan Scott, we have not yet talked about our thoughts about this motion picture.

Yeah.

What did you think?

Okay, let me say, I mean, I loved it, of course.

And I loved, so, okay, when I was a kid and because TV movies, with the expansion of cable and all of that, TV movies are very different nowadays, very, very different.

Now they're primarily the generic Christmas movies you'll see on, like, Netflix and stuff.
