When a new couple on the girls' block is suspected of being a pair of wanted jewel thieves, the police run a stakeout based in the kitchen of our favorite sexy sexagenarians. The older officer, a gruff veteran with a callous exterior, butts heads with Dorothy before the two fall for each other, but the younger officer catches Blanche's eye and it's hard to blame her, considering he's played by George Clooney! Clooney was a spry 26-year-old at the time of filming right up Blanche's alley. Unfortunately, tragedy nearly ensues during a raid on the thieves' house, Clooney's character, Bobby Hopkins, is shot! Thankfully, the bullet misses any vital organs, but Dorothy, frightened by the prospect of losing a lover, must rebuff the older officer. It's a painful ending especially for Blanche, who never got to teach Bobby a thing or two about the ways of the world. Also, it's pretty impressive to think that a young Clooney was on a show centered around Betty White being old, while now Clooney's old, and Betty White's still a superstar.
