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: - 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 HERPESE 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 I've stated many times, anything diced and sliced is still millennia better than anything on the reality-chowder-pot which has morphed into Network TV! But just so you know, the reason why these are the syndicated eps is not because they didn't have the network versions licensed, it is because the highest quality masters that Buena Vista has are for the syndicated version. (By the way, the Fifth Season will be released onto Region 2 on March 8th & on Region 4 on April 2nd!)
Don't you almost feel like the entire cast is like old friends that you've known for years? There is a very special place in my heart for all of them, especially Bea Arthur. I don't know what it is, she's just the perfect person to portray the tired and harried Dorothy. Isn't she? Years ago, a good friend and I went to see her perform on Broadway. And, being the big fans that we were (and still are) we went and waited outside the stage door for her to exit. Anyway, when Bea came out, it was so hilarious. She starts ... Read More
Rating:  - Appears to be edited episodes for syndication
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 after this Blanche comes in and has a negative attitude and whines that "life has no meaning." Sofia snaps back "so who's for popcorn?" which gets a roar out of the studio audience, but falls flat with the DVD viewers because the scene between Sofia and Dorothy is edited out on the DVD version.
Rating: - "Your heart is true..."
The Golden Girls - The Complete Fifth Season had really come into its own by this particular season. All four characters have developed and grown and the writing continues to impress me, there is not one episode I didn't love. Faves from this season are All That Jazz, Triple Play, Ebb Tide, and Sisters and Other Strangers. I highly recommend this season and the rest as well. Enjoy!
