Big Daddy's Little Lady is the sixth episode of the second season of The Golden Girls and the thirty-first episode overall. Directed by David Steinberg and written by Russell Marcus, it premiered on NBC-TV on November 15th, 1986.

Summary[]

Blanche is thrilled when her father announces he is getting married, but quickly changes her attitude when she finds out how young the bride-to-be is. Dorothy and Rose enter a song-writing contest and creative differences almost come between them.

Plot[]

Blanche gets a visit from her father who has yet another secret to tell her. We learn he is engaged to get married. Blanche's excitement ends fairly quickly when we see the one he has chosen is far younger than Blanche. Initially thinking that Margaret Spencer is a gold digger, Blanche urges Big Daddy to call off the wedding. Big Daddy storms off shortly after. Later, Blanche speaks to Big Daddy and finds out that Margaret is a widower and the two connected and really love each other. Blanche apologizes and gives Big Daddy and Margaret her blessing. Meanwhile, Rose tells Dorothy of her intention to enter a songwriting contest about Miami. Dorothy with poetry writing experience and Rose with experience writing music decide to team up and enter. Later, they end up as runners up. They return home, disappointed, where they sing the song for Blanche and Sophia.[1]

Notes[]

  • Murray Hamilton died before he could reprise the role of Big Daddy, so the role was recast with David Wayne.
  • Despite Rose Nylund being a piano player, Betty White never played piano and didn't know how to.
  • The scene where the ladies sing "Miami, Miami, You've Got Style", is featured in the opening theme in Season 5 onward.

Goofs[]

  • When Blanche asks Dorothy and Rose to perform the song "Miami", a microphone can be seen above her.
