The Golden Girls: The Complete Series

"Thankyou for being a friend"
This special set is being issued to help celebrate the 25th Anniversary of THE GOLDEN GIRLS. The show ran from 1985 to 1992, earning legions of fans worldwide. An unexpected smash for NBC, THE GOLDEN GIRLS told the story of four older women living together, and happily growing old disgracefully, in Miami. Brainy, self-assured divorcee Dorothy Zbornak (Bea Arthur), sultry, sex-mad Southern belle Blanche Deveraux (Rue McClanahan), sweet, simple-minded St. Olafian Rose Nylund (Betty White), and Dorothy's acid-tongued mother Sophia (Estelle Getty), on the run from Shady Pines Retirement Home.

This complete series set sadly won't feature any new bonus content (the only special new things will be a deck of novelty playing cards and the packaging, designed to resemble Sophia's trademark wicker purse). So in essence those who've already purchased the individual season sets won't have a great reason to double-dip unless you really want the purse--which is quite a novelty for the...

"One Of The Best Series Of All-Time!
"The Golden Girls" will always be one of the greatest TV sitcoms ever broadcast on network television. Not only was it a Top 10 show six out of the seven seasons it originally aired on NBC, but it went on to enjoy enormous success in both syndication and cable airings, and the individual season sets sold in huge quantities.

The bonuses include a great feature called "Thank You For being A Friend-A Look Back With The Golden Girls" and interviews with Bette White, Rue McClanahan, Beatrice Arthur, and Estelle Getty from the Museum of Television and Radio. Unfortunately with this new DVD edition, which is being released to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the series (it debut on September 14, 1985), there are no new bonuses. Fans were hoping the studio would release episodes from "The Golden...

The Golden Collection
Blanche, Rose, Sofia and of course Dorothy played so well by Bea Arthur was a sensational tv show.
I just had to have the whole series.
Some of the episodes are unforgettable and hilarious. I have so many, many favorites. I'm going to keep them to myself, rather than making a boringly long, personal review.
Blanche and her boyfriends, Rose and her outlook, Sofia's great wit and Dorothy being the butt of jokes is just precious.
I love the complete set and am very appreciative of owning it.
