LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'The Golden Bachelor' Episode will air on Thursday, October 5 at 8.00–9.01 pm ET on ABC. New episodes air on Thursday nights on the network.
This will be followed by a brand-new episode of 'Bachelor in Paradise,' so there will be plenty of reality television to groan at.
Gerry Turner, a lovely 72-year-old retired restaurateur from Indiana yearning for love under the bright lights of reality television, is the focus of the buzzy new program.
If you've already finished the first episode, you'll have to wait until October 5 for the second.

What to expect from 'The Golden Bachelor' Episode 2?
It's unknown what this week's episode will bring, but fans are hoping for group dates, one-on-one dates, and maybe even a little drama.
The Golden Bachelor and his girlfriends go on their first dates of the season.
Gerry is also celebrating his 72nd birthday, and the second rose ceremony of the season is no less emotional than the first.
Fans want this show to be wholesome because that is what distinguishes it from the ones that came before it.
So here's hoping Gerry goes one step closer to finding his second love this week.
What happened in 'The Golden Bachelor' Episode 1?
'The Golden Bachelor' has gotten off to a fantastic start! Following Gerry's first night as the senior citizen lead, Bachelor Nation had nothing but fantastic and motivating words of advice.
The premiere episode far exceeded expectations, as Gerry met all the women fighting for his heart.
Unlike the other programs, 'The Golden Bachelor' was not plagued with the urge to achieve social media clout.
Fans said that was the most noticeable difference. While some of the participants do have social media profiles, it is not their primary purpose to get more followers.
They're genuinely just interested in getting their second (or third, fourth, etc.) chance at love.
Sure, the contenders will be fiery, but the atmosphere will be different, and the audience will be ready for it.
With that in mind, fans are rapidly approaching the second week of the series.
Who stars in 'The Golden Bachelor'?
There are 22 lucky females who are hoping to find love this time around.
ABC sent a casting call last year seeking "active and outgoing" older ladies and men, according to the source.
Gerry is hoping for an appearance by actress Helen Mirren, according to the Golden Bachelor.
This batch is full of outstanding ladies, including one with three master's degrees, accountants, wedding officiants, and even an ex-Chicago Honey Bear cheerleader.
