Golden Girls 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.
This show was a Nielsen ratings hit, yet I never watch the show until I caught it on 'Lifetime' TV, and now I watch it over and over! It's Great.
The 'Golden Girls' popularity may be as high as it was while the show was on. Recently, one of the presumptive Presidential candidates featured them in one of their political ads - Interestingly, Senator Hillary Clinton earned more votes than any Presidential Primary candidate in history (Interesting reading is Peniel Cronin, Primary v Caucus)
Rest In Peace Estelle Getty (you were also wonderful as Cher's mother in the 1985 movie 'Mask')
Four friends, and lots of laughs 5 out of 5 stars.

Estelle Getty, Bea Arthur, Betty White and Rue McClanaghan star as four older women, sharing a house -- and all sorts of adventures -- in 1980's Miami.
Naive Rose (White) and sarcastic Dorothy first came together with Blanche (McClanaghan) upon answering her ad for roommates. Soon after, tiny octogenarian Sophia (Getty) -- Dorothy's mother -- joins them after a fire breaks out at her nursing home.
Together, the quartet deal with trouble from visiting relatives -- most notably, Blanche's promiscuous niece Lucy and Rose's daughter Kiersten -- more men than they know how to handle, and any number of domestic mishaps.
Amidst the ever-present laughs, there are also a few poignant moments, such as the aftermath of a break-in at the girls' house; medical crises for Dorothy and Sophia respectively; and Dorothy's heartache over the sudden return of the ex-husband who abandoned her after 38 years of marriage.
If you haven't ever watched this show, give it a try -- it's guaranteed to become a favorite!

The Golden Girls are a consistently sure thing. Though I feel Season 3 isnt the best of them all, it is still Golden Girls, which is never a bad thing. The DVDs of this series are a little lacking on extras (more commentary would have been great), but altogether not bad.
Love those girls!! 5 out of 5 stars.

Fantastic! The Golden Girls will always hold a special place in my heart! I own every season and watch them all the time!
Excellent Season 4 out of 5 stars.

All of the episodes of "The Golden Girls: The Complete Third Season" were outstanding. Overall, this season was excellent. However, I was disappointed with the special features on the DVDs - I think they should have included more features, such as bloopers and outtakes. I thought that the "Golden Moments" and "The Golden Girls' Scrapbook" features were pointless; they were basically just a rehash of clips from "The Golden Girls." You can already see these clips from all of the episodes, so what exactly is the point of putting a bunch of clips together and calling it a "special feature?"
My ratings -
Season 3 episodes: 4 out of 5 stars
Special Features: 2 out of 5 stars

Golden Girls 5 out of 5 stars.

The show is funny as ever, it's amazing how the show isn't dated, which was recently shown when one of the presumptive Presidential candidates used them in one of their ads - In the 2008 Presidential Primary race Hillary Clinton received more votes than any of her rivals, and more votes than any other Presidential Primary candidate in the history of America.
Golden Girls 4th Season 5 out of 5 stars.

I am a Big Golden Girls fan, and I purchased the first 3 season as well. I must say this season is my favorite so far. It has more of the episodes I love. I would like thank Amazon for making them affordable! The best buy so far!!!!
Golden 5 out of 5 stars.

Allows you to see the entire show in all it's glory 5 out of 5 stars.

I know you can see the reruns on Lifetime -- which is great, but these are the actual shows that first aired. The only comment I would have is that generally I've noticed that Lifetime is good about removing dialog that is "dated" like references to legwarmers, lol. Occasionally they shorten a "St. Olaf" story. They do a better job than some in deciding what to remove. TV Land should do as good a job on its shows (removing cigarette smoking for example)

The 2nd season is great--there is even a cute Trivia game on the DVD that you can play to see which Golden Girl you are! Definitely worth the money! Also, Amazon has the best price for buying the seasons to complete your collection!
Lots of laughs 5 out of 5 stars.

If you like to laugh, you need to get into watching this series. I always get a lot of good laughs out of the golden girls. This season has a lot of good episodes in it, too. Believe me, if you enjoy comical things, you will love this!
A toast to this wonderful woman. 5 out of 5 stars.

A toast, may every bar, gay or straight play the song THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND and may we all toast this wonderful woman. Her grace, talent and most of all her beautiful heart to see outside of stereotypes, outside of preferences and look at everyone for who they are human beings. Estelle was an open minded and talented woman who loved everyone alike. A toast to YOU for being a friend. May the heavens welcome you like the legend you are and will forever be.
Thank you for being a friend.

BLANCHE I CAN GET HERPES LISTENING TO THIS STORY!! 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.
As a very small child I would fight with my brother every Saturday night when this came on because he never wanted to watch these four old broads. But I did! And so did most of the country! The GG's is classic eighties comedy, at its best! I love watching this show because it's sorta corny in a way but still almost nostalgic. It totally reminds me of my grannys. And, the writing, the comedy and the timing was second to none.
These are the syndicated eps, but I do not mind at all. As I've stated many times, anything diced and sliced is still millennia better than anything on the reality-chowder-pot which has morphed into Network TV! But just so you know, the reason why these are the syndicated eps is not because they didn't have the network versions licensed, it is because the highest quality masters that Buena Vista has are for the syndicated version. (By the way, the Fifth Season will be released onto Region 2 on March 8th & on Region 4 on April 2nd!)
Don't you almost feel like the entire cast is like old friends that you've known for years? There is a very special place in my heart for all of them, especially Bea Arthur. I don't know what it is, she's just the perfect person to portray the tired and harried Dorothy. Isn't she? Years ago, a good friend and I went to see her perform on Broadway. And, being the big fans that we were (and still are) we went and waited outside the stage door for her to exit. Anyway, when Bea came out, it was so hilarious. She starts yelling at everyone, "get out of my way, I'm not signing any autographs." Anyhow, it was just so surreal because Bea was totally behaving like Dorothy; although I'm not sure if even Dorothy was that crotchety? We could not stop laughing at Bea's impromptu encore performance and it only made me love her even more! She taught me one important lesson, always Bea who you want to Bea!
Didn't Dorothy always have the funniest lines? The lines were great, but also so was Bea because she always said it so deadpan, there was never a smile or a subtle look of craziness. These are some of my favorites:
MA!!!
PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER.
Don't ask me, I can't get through to New Jersey with MCI.
I would go out back but there doesn't seem to be any SHADY PINES.
Chew it slowly like they taught you in the HOME.
You sound like Jim and Tammy Faye on NIGHTLINE!
Didn't Jack and Janet do this to Chrissy on an episode of "Three's Company?"
Mr. Belvedere is a humble servant, you are a horsesass.
It's a rare sitcom that's performers are each as likeable and as talented as the other! These are the four members of this show:
Beatrice Arthur played the somewhat frumpy and always stern and strong Dorothy Zbornak! One of my favorite lines & eps with Dorothy was during Season One when the girls all got locked up. Anyway, a tough-talking hooker tried to pick a fight with Blanche, prompting Dorothy to scare her off since she "did time in Attica." But Dorothy knew it would work, confessing to the girls, "I work in the public school system, it's really no different." Of course, before staring on the GG's, Bea was most known for the ground-breaking, perennial seventies sitcom Maude . Bea is also an accomplished Broadway performer and has appeared in many other series television programs (such as: All in the Family and "The Kraft Television Theater") and movies (such as: Mame and "The Floating Lightbulb." ) Like all of the other members of this series, Bea has been a lifelong proponent of animal rights.
Betty White portrayed sweet and extroverted Rose Nylund. Rose was a very proud St. Olafian and often told her roommates about how it was "back in St. Olaf" (much to their displeasure.) She worked as a grief counselor (and in later Seasons as a consumer reporter for a newscast) which was probably because Rose was the type of person who really enjoyed helping others. Before this series, Ms. White enjoyed a very successful career on television for over 35 years! She's probably most famous for her role as Sue Ann Nivens (on The Mary Tyler Moore Show .) She also had her own variety show in the seventies, and through the fifties and sixties she had her own television talk show and television series. Betty White is also very famous for another eighties series, Mama's Family !
Rue McClanahan played the role of sexy Blanche Devereaux. Blanche really enjoyed having a good time but could also be rather vain and catty at times; especially when another man was involved. She worked in an art museum and even though she was in her 50's, still enjoyed a very active sex life! Prior to staring on the GG's, Rue was a cast member on the long-running soap, "Another World." She also played Vivian, on Bea's series, Maude and worked with Betty as prudish Aunt Franny on Mama's Family , who was a complete and total opposite of man-crazy Blanche!
And, of course Estelle Getty played the role of fiesty Sophia Petrillo! Sophia's tongue was as sharp as her wit! It was very rare for one of the other girls to get the best of her! Sophia enjoyed doing charity work and just generally being a family matriarch for her other housemates. Prior to joining "The Golden Girls," Ms. Getty enjoyed a long career as a character actress, on the stage and in television and movies, such as Tootsie and one of my very favorites, Mask ! It's also a little-known fact that Ms. Getty was one of the first A-list television stars who supported AIDS causes!
What I ultimately learned from "The Golden Girls" is that family can really be whatever you make of it. These women loved each other like sisters and I'm certain that the bond could not have been closer if in fact they were actually related. For most of its run, "The Golden Girls" always remained a top-ten series. And, this can be attributed to the stars of the show. Season Five is certainly one of my favorite seasons. But, it's very hard to say which is my very favorite because this series always churned out high-quality entertainment. One of the reasons why I have always loved this show is because it totally transcends time and age because the main message of "The Golden Girls" was truly universal. And, isn't that really rare!

The Golden Girls - The Complete Sixth Season is another outrageous and moving season. My fave episodes from this season are Snap Out of It, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun...Before They Die!, and Sister of the Bride. All four stars carry their own character so well, they have great chemistry. I highly recommend this wonderful purchase. Happy viewing!

As ever the classic comedy of the girls is absolutely entertaining with laugh out loud, side splitting vignettes. A pleasing choice that did not disappoint.

LOve the Golden Girls and this completes my collection. To me, this is the funniest sitcom ever. I can watch it over and over and not stop laughing.
I absolutely HATED the thoughts of having to purchase this BRILLIANT SHOW. 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I absolutely hated this season even though I loved every single minute of it. I know this sounds confusing so let me explain. I am a MASSIVE fan of the Golden Girls and have enjoyed every minute of the first 6 Seasons, I just didn't want them to end. By purchasing this final Season, it meant that there would be no more Seasons to collect and watch. I hated the thought of this. This is without doubt the BEST comedy show ever and unfortunately now I have seen them all. It's SAD even though I still enjoy them. But you never know, they might release the Golden Palace too.
This is a superb Season. I would recommend it to anyone. The BEST show ever. There will never EVER be another comedy like it.
