DVD Reviews of The Golden Girls - The Complete Second Season
DVD Review: OH YEAH!
Summary: 5 Stars
How can you go wrong with these broads? These girls are always up to some crazy shanans. Get this show and watch it everyday! Would have given it more stars but they only offer five to choose from. In my opinion its a few to little. 8 or more stars would allow for a much more accurate representation.DVD Review: A dark season
Summary: 4 Stars

10. "Love, Rose" - Rose places an ad in the personals column but only attracts S&M maniacs. Blanche and Dorothy feel sorry for her and are forced to don leather masks.

DVD Review: AWESOME!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is such an awesome show, and Amazon.com is awesome for providing a disk in such great condtion! You won't be dissappointed! Promise! DVD Review: "The Best Season of "The Golden Girls""
Summary: 5 Stars
If you want to own the best episodes of "The Golden Girls" buy season two. This season is filled with excellent shows. The writing, directing, and the chemisty among all the women made this year the most memorable of all "Golden Girls" seasons. By this time the writers knew every character inside and out and what resulted are some of the greatest shows of this classic series. The first episode of the 1986-'87 season is "End of the Curse" in which Blanche thinks she is pregnant. Watch the reaction of all the girls, especially Rose when she calls Blanche the "s" word for sleeping with all those men. "It's a Miserable Life" finds the golden girls trying to save an old tree in the neighborhood that stands on the property of an old and bitter women who ultimately drops dead when the girls bring her to court. One of my very favorite "Golden Girls" episodes is called "Isn't It Romantic" in which Dorothy's lesbian friend falls in love with Rose. Blanche's response is probably the best in the show's history. The best show in the entire seven seasons is called "Ladies of The Evening" in which the girls are booked as prostitutes while staying at a seaside hotel. Burt Reynolds makes a well-known cameo appearance. Not only is that episode my favorite "Golden Girls" show, but possibly my favorite sitcom show ever.
Like other "Golden Girls" seasons this boxset has no bonus features, but at least all 26 shows are available uncut and they look impeccable and clean like the day they first aired on NBC. The series would finish the second year on the air at #5 in the Nielsen Ratings.
Rue McClanahan would win her very first Emmy that year for Outstanding Performance by a Female in a Comedy and the show itself would win its second Emmy in a row for Outstanding Comedy Series. Sit back and watch these timeless shows over and over. "The Golden Girls" is one of those rare shows that I can watch a million times over and never tire of it. That is a sign of a true classic.
DVD Review: A STELLAR SECOND SEASON FOR "THE GOLDEN GIRLS"
Summary: 5 Stars
The humor is sharper and the situations even more hilarious in the second season of "The Golden Girls." In addition to the fabulous foursome of Beatrice Arthur (Dorothy), Betty White (Rose), Rue McClanahan (Blanche), and Estelle Getty (Sophia), credit is also due director Terry Hughes. Hughes began directing during the First Season, and directed the majority of the episodes in the stellar second season, 1986-1987:
1. End Of The Curse: Blanche is shocked to discover she may be pregnant; and then depressed to discover she's not pregnant at all-- she is going through menopause.

4. It's A Miserable Life: In this hilarious episode, Rose tells a nasty neighbor lady to "sit down and shut up-- and if you don't like it you can drop dead"-- and the nasty neighbor lady immediately does precisely that.

Meanwhile, Sophia, who stayed home, tries to get some quality time alone with the gardener next door. Guest starring Stuart Pankin, Tom Villard, Stephen Lee, Brett Porter, Paul Rodriguez and Keye Luke.
9. Joust Between Friends: When Dorothy and Blanche work together at the museum, their friendship is almost ruined. Rose brings home a stray dog. Dorothy says, "I have been turned down for every part-time job in Dade County that did not involve selling cocaine." Reid Shelton (from Broadway's "Annie") guest stars.
10. Love, Rose: Dorothy and Blanche invent a secret admirer for Rose named "Issac Newton"-- and are surprised when Issac (Paul Dooley) actually appears.
11. Twas The Nightmare Before Christmas: The Girls are forced to spend a rather unconventional Christmas together. Rose gives Dorothy a homemade maple syrup dispenser. Dorothy responses, "This will come in handy if I'm ever lost in the woods with a stack of pancakes."
12. The Sisters: Dorothy brings her Aunt Angela (Nancy Walker) to Miami as a birthday surprise for Sophia. Sophia says, "You call this old bag a present?...I hate that woman!"
13. The Stan Who Came To Dinner: While recovering from bypass surgery, Dorothy's ex-husband Stan stays with the Girls-- and totally overstays his welcome.
14. The Actor: A handsome TV actor comes to Miami and stirs up trouble when he dates Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, and other women, simultaneously.
15. Before And After: Rose has a near-death experience and becomes determined to "eat life"; which causes friction between her, Dorothy and Blanche.
16. And Then There Was One: Sophia runs in a marathon, and Blanche fears a baby may have been abandoned.
17. Bedtime Story: The Girls share late-night tales.
18. Forgive Me, Father: Dorothy thinks a Priest is considering leaving the church for her.
19. Long Day's Journey Into Marinara: Aunt Angela returns and continues her silly feud with Sophia.
20. Whose Face Is It, Anyway?: Blanche considers having extensive plastic surgery.
21. Dorothy's Prized Pupil: A very young, and very pre-sex symbol, Mario Lopez guest stars.
22. Diamond In The Rough: Blanche dates a wonderful man, but she doesn't think he has enough "breeding" for her.
23. Son-In Law Dearest: Dorothy's daughter Kate has marital problems. Blanche and Rose watch an "I Love Lucy" marathon.
24. To Catch A Neighbor: The new next door neighbors are suspected criminals. A pre-stardom George Clooney guest starts.
25. A Piece Of Cake: The Girls recall previous birthdays.
26. Empty Nest: Creator Susan Harris uses the last "Golden Girls" episode of the season as a pilot episode for her next series "Empty Nest."
DVD Extras: An interactive "Golden Girls" Trivia Game" on Disc One.
Description of The Golden Girls - The Complete Second Season
Join Dorothy, the smart one, Sophia, the glib one, Rose, the naive one, and Blanche, the ... well, you know ... for the second season of one of television's funniest shows ever, THE GOLDEN GIRLS. Loved by fans and critics alike, Season 2 garnered its second straight Emmy award for "Outstanding Comedy Series" and a Golden Globe for "Best TV Series Comedy/Musical." It's a star-filled season with special guests, including Burt Reynolds in a surprise cameo and a young George Clooney playing a Miami policeman who saves the day! Now you can "travel down the road and back again" with all 26 original episodes on one incredible 3-disc set. From the opening lines of the theme song to the end credits you'll enjoy all the racy and hilarious moments you've come to expect from THE GOLDEN GIRLS.As the saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," and the second season of The Golden Girls picks up where the first ended. The same classic quartet--Blanche, Rose, Dorothy, and Sophia--is back, along with their snappy retorts, shoulder pads, and cheesecake. Well, there was one change. In the season premiere, "End of the Curse," Blanche (Rue McClanahan) goes through menopause.
Highlights of the 26 episodes include "Ladies of the Evening," featuring a cameo from Burt Reynolds, just a few years prior to his own network sitcom, Evening Shade. As Blanche exclaims, "Mr. Burt Reynolds is one of our finest living actors...I mean, you put Sir Laurence Olivier in Cannonball Run--see what he can do." Then there's "Isn't It Romantic?" with Lois Nettleton (In the Heat of the Night) as Dorothy's lesbian friend, Jean, who falls for an unsuspecting Rose (Betty White). As was often the case, a sensitive subject is handled with taste and humor and resulted in an Emmy nomination for Nettleton's performance.
Further highlights include a white-wigged Nancy Walker (The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Rhoda) as Sophia's long-lost sister, Angela, in "The Sisters" and "Long Day's Journey Into Marinara," and a pompadoured George Clooney (ER) in "To Catch a Neighbor." The final episode of The Golden Girls second season, "Empty Nest," features David Leisure and Oscar winner-Rita Moreno (West Side Story) and sets the scene for creator Susan Harris's 1988 spin-off, Empty Nest (although only Leisure would segue to the new show, while Soap's Richard Mulligan would take over for Moreno). --Kathleen C.
