DVD Reviews of The Golden Girls - The Complete Fifth Season
DVD Review: Highly Entertaining!
Summary: 5 Stars
A wonderful show, especially for adults -- or even young adults! As an ensemble, these ladies can really act, in my view, and the storylines are well-written; important social issues are touched upon in each episode, and with all of these things together, makes for an absolutely unique & eloquent show -- with both humor and compassion. I've found that most every episode shows a very moral approach to many 'taboo' subjects. I have watched every single episode & never tire of my 'Girls.'DVD Review: You won't be disappointed!
Summary: 5 Stars
Fantastic! I haven't been disappointed by any Golden Girls DVD's I have ordered from Amazon.com. I own every season and watch them all the time! Great when you need a laugh.
The quality of the DVD's is excellent and the delivery was speedy and efficient. Which I have become accustom to when ordering from Amazon.com
DVD Review: must
Summary: 5 Stars
a "must have"! but no subtitles (but the English ones) for European countries (nor zone 2 DVD either)DVD Review: Yet Still More Golden Greats
Summary: 5 Stars
Season Five continues with some of the best TV comedy ever seen in the eighties. Golden Girls remains one of the best shows of its time - and even now! If you are not in to forgetting your problems and laughing your guts out, then this show isn't for you... and that would have to be a big mistake.
This season must not be missed. This is one of the few shows I can watch over and over and still laugh at the same gags. Timeless!!!
DVD Review: Review, Sight Unseen
Summary: 5 Stars
It's pretty hard for me to give an actual review of this box set due to the fact that it was purchased for my daughter for Christmas, 2008. But, from what I have seen of the other season sets that she has, I would highly recommend it. They don't make shows like this anymore. It takes you back to the days of The Honeymooners, I Love Lucy, and The Andy Griffith Show. If you can't laugh at these ladies, you don't have a sense of humor.
I will tell you that the service in purchasing this directly from Amazon was a very smart one. Amazon packaged the box set very well, and the shipping couldn't have been faster.
Description of The Golden Girls - The Complete Fifth Season
Travel to Miami for a visit with the original girls gone wild, The Golden Girls! Beatrice Arthur, Rue McClanahan, Betty White, and Estelle Getty are back for Season Five of this multiple Emmy? and Golden Globe? Award-winning comedy. These four young-at-heart ladies couldn't be more different, but they stick together through thick and thin. Enjoy every side-splitting episode of Season Five in this laugh-packed DVD box set, complete with exclusive bonus material. The hilarious adventures include Sophia going on a bulk-buying binge, Rose and Blanche joining a protest to save some dolphins and Dorothy dating a real clown. The girls are also joined by classic guest stars including Dick Van Dyke, and they just might be paid a visit by the Commander in Chief himself! It's off-the-wall entertainment at its finest from the gals who wrote the recipe for great comedy.It's a good sign when a new year begins with Jeffrey Tambor (The Larry Sanders Show, Arrested Development) and ends with Harry Shearer (Spinal Tap, The Simpsons). Tambor shows up as Dorothy's doctor in the The Golden Girls two-part fifth season premiere ("Sick and Tired"). Unfortunately, he isn't able to determine why she's feeling run down, so she pays a visit to Empty Nest's Dr. Weston (Richard Mulligan, who returns a few episodes later). Blanche (Rue McClanahan), meanwhile, decides to become a romance novelist, despite the fact that she can't write. Dorothy (Bea Arthur) will eventually find out she has chronic fatigue syndrome (an affliction shared by writer/creator Susan Harris, who'll soon exit the show), while the flighty Blanche will retire from writing as suddenly as she took it up. Then she'll get the news that her daughter, Rebecca, has decided to become a single mother--via artificial insemination. Blanche is aghast. As for Rose, she'll get a new job as the assistant to a consumer affairs reporter and find second love with professor Miles Webber (Harold Gould). Other guests during the 1989-1990 season include Dick Van Dyke ("Love Under the Big Top"), Robert Culp ("Like the Beep Beep Beep of the Tom-Tom"), and a pre-Law & Order Jerry Orbach ("Cheaters"). Then there's Shearer ("The President's Coming! The President's Coming!"), who provides the voice for the first George Bush. Also, Marc Cherry, the man behind Desperate Housewives, receives his first writing credit, while Mark Moses--now best known as the murderous Rex--appears as Blanche's stepson. Unlike previous sets, this collection includes commentary from Arthur, McClanahan, and White. --Kathleen C Fennessy
