Bea Arthur and Betty White probably never thanked each other for being a friend, and Lyn Greene has a theory about why.
Greene, who was a guest star on Golden Girls, recently gave her thoughts on the pair’s famously c-word-fueled feud. Arthur, she said, didn’t dislike White as much as she hated Sue Ann Nivens, White’s deceptive character on The Mary Tyler Moore Show. “I think that there were times Bea saw more of Sue Ann Nivens than of Rose Nylund,” Greene explained. “I’m not sure she thought that Betty was always sincere.”
Deeper into the realm of television feuds, we also learned that Jackie Gleason had beef with The Flintstones. Voice actor Henry Corden once admitted that Gleason “could probably have The Flintstones pulled right off the air” due to its similarities to his show, The Honeymooners. Gleason decided against it after his lawyers asked him one question: “Do you want to be known as the guy who yanked Fred Flintstone off the air?”
Thankfully, The Flintstones kept going, just like the hilarious people on Twitter. Today’s funniest posts include those about pesto samples, horse deniers and the right way to peruse the Criterion Closet.
