DVD Review: "When "The Golden Girls" Jumped The Shark" Summary: 5 Stars To many ardent "Golden Girls" fans the sixth season is the one in which the series "jumped the shark" in that the show changed both in story content and direction. Gone since the end of the fourth season were the show's wonderful writers and at the end of the fifth season beloved director Terry Hughes decided to hang up his dirctor's hat and do feature films. The absence of those two important ingredients are evident in this 26 episode boxset. The stories just weren't as funny as in previous years and the cast, most notably Bea Arthur, seemed to be running through their scenes. The sixth season is alright in terms of good sitcom work, but after viewing these shows the shine was off the gold so to speak. Buy this season to finish off your "Golden Girls" collection, but if your looking to purchase excellent "Golden Girls" shows pick up the first four seasons. The only bonus in this set is a minor interview with Betty white, Rue McClanahan, and others discussing the series. The series finished at #10 for the year.
DVD Review: Golden Girls Summary: 5 StarsExcellent selection of a year's episodes of Golden Girls. This was the first, and to date the only, series featuring four women who find themselves living together in one house. The relationships between them is a joy to behold! It is even more valuable since Bea Arthur and Estelle Getty (The actors who played Dorothy and her mother, Sophia) have died. A very enjoyable program! Programs like this one aren't being produced anymore; and that is very sad!
DVD Review: Excellent, Entertaining Show Summary: 5 StarsI have always just loved this show, and could not wait to receive my new DVD set. I was not one bit disappointed! I highly recommend 'The Golden Girls' for almost anyone (due to its racy nature, some age-groups should be prohibited from watching it.) I don't think I know any adult, actually, who does not enjoy this particular sitcom.
DVD Review: You won't be disappointed! Summary: 5 StarsFantastic! 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
Description of The Golden Girls - The Complete Sixth SeasonJoin Florida's favorite housemates for Season Six of the multiple Emmy(R) and Golden Globe(R) Award-winning comedy, THE GOLDEN GIRLS. Beatrice Arthur, Rue McClanahan, Betty White, and Estelle Getty are back for some of their funniest adventures yet. Enjoy each unforgettable moment in this laugh-packed DVD box set. Rose takes to the skies to spice up her relationship, Dorothy's dating woes continue even after Sophia hires a matchmaker, Blanche has a surprise secret admirer, and Sophia becomes Florida's funniest fugitive from justice. Great guest stars like Jeffrey Tambor and Debbie Reynolds pay a visit, and a hilarious conversation with the cast makes Season Six a must-own for any GOLDEN GIRLS fan. The wisecracks, hugs, and late-night servings of cheesecake continue in the sixth season of The Golden Girls. At the end of the sitcom's previous year, Blanche's daughter, Becky (Debra Engle), announced her pregnancy. In the sixth, Blanche (Rue McClanahan) becomes a grandmother ("Blanche Delivers"). Other developments: Dorothy (Beatrice Arthur) starts seeing ex-husband Stan (Herb Edelman), Sophia (Estelle Getty) dons a habit, and Rose (Betty White) discovers the true identity of Miles (Harold Gould). As The Golden Girls moves on into the 1990s, the earrings--and Dorothy's shoulder pads--remain as out-sized as ever, but the show takes on more contemporary issues, like cross-dressing ("Ebbtide's Revenge") and sexual orientation ("Sisters of the Bride"). Despite the bevy of put-downs, the message is one of tolerance--for anyone who exists outside the norm. There are also a few surprises, such as the appearance of Rose's birth father ("Once, in St. Olaf"), Dorothy's engagement ("There Goes the Bride"), and the secret relationship between Blanche's nanny (Ruby Dee) and her late father, Big Daddy ("Wham, Bam, Thank You, Mammy"). As before, everyone wanted to drop by NBC's Saturday staple, like Martin Mull ("Snap Out of It"), Sonny Bono ("Mrs. George Devereaux"), Cesar Romero ("Girls Just Wanna Have Fun... Before They Die"), Debbie Reynolds ("There Goes the Bride"), Alan King ("Melodrama"), and Hal Linden ("What a Difference a Date Makes"). The behind-the-scenes talent shines just as brightly in co-executive producer Tom Whedon (father of Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Joss Whedon) and story editors Marc Cherry (Desperate Housewives) and Mitchell Hurwitz (Arrested Development). Although there are no commentaries this time around, the set includes an insightful chat with McClanahan, White, Cherry, Hurwitz, and others from a Museum of Television and Radio tribute. One of the more notable insights: "To this day... 70% of our mail comes from people under 25 years old." --Kathleen C. Fennessy
