The Reeducation of Dorothy Zbornak
We still feel terrible about the cheap shot we took at Bea Arthur yesterday, a legendary actress who, for all we know, deserves placement on the controversial list in question no more than Golden Girls castmate Rue McClanahan.
In an attempt to atone for that transgression (and to repay in some small fashion all the joy she gave us by pimp-slapping that mouthy Rose back to St. Olaf each and every week of the show's seven seasons), we pass along this Entertainment Tonight segment on Arthur's episode of TV Land's Back to the Grind, in which the rerun-obsessed network generously attempts to return retired sitcom stars to mainstream society by giving them the practical work skills they once faked for millions of viewers. We know by the time you get to the part where she chews out the kid for texting, you'll already have forgiven us for the bad thing we did.
