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

Yet Still More Golden Greats November 25, 2008
Season Five continues with some of the best TV comedy ever seen in the eighties. Golden Girls remains one of the best shows of its time - and even now! If you are not in to forgetting your problems and laughing your guts out, then this show isn't for you... and that would have to be a big mistake.
This season must not be missed. This is one of the few shows I can watch over and over and still laugh at the same gags. Timeless!!!
Review, Sight Unseen October 9, 2008
It's pretty hard for me to give an actual review of this box set due to the fact that it was purchased for my daughter for Christmas, 2008. But, from what I have seen of the other season sets that she has, I would highly recommend it. They don't make shows like this anymore. It takes you back to the days of The Honeymooners, I Love Lucy, and The Andy Griffith Show. If you can't laugh at these ladies, you don't have a sense of humor.
I will tell you that the service in purchasing this directly from Amazon was a very smart one. Amazon packaged the box set very well, and the shipping couldn't have been faster.

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)
excellent product! April 21, 2008
