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

Rating:  - Rest In Peace Estelle Getty
I watch 'The Golden Girls' on 'Lifetime' TV: I watch it over and over! It's Great. Seven years wasn't enough! 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)
Rating: - excellent product!
great product - exactly as described! great for any golden girls fan - the perfect gift!
Rating: - the golden girls. season 5
The golden girls is by far the best sitcom I have watch.
The conversation between the girls are sharp,witty and refreshing.
The fashion sense is good.
You get a good deal for story, laugh, fashion and de-stress.
Buy all the season. Is a golden collection.
Rating: - BLANCHE I CAN GET HERPES LISTENING TO THIS STORY!!
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 ... Read More

C'mon Disney! It's not enough that you tore down the house used for the exteriors of the show to build a cheesy stunt show at your theme park, but you didn't even give us the complete original episodes that we're supposedly paying for.
One example where I noticed it is when Blanche has a pacemaker put in and therefore there is a scene in the kitchen where Sofia is complaining to Dorothy that they can't have popcorn anymore because they can't use the microwave due to Blanche's pacemaker. Right ... Read More
