Bea Arthur RocksMar 18, 2006
By JGC
I LOVE "The Golden Girls." All the characters are so funny, and imaginative. But my favorite is Dorothy (Bea Arthur). Just looking at her could make even the most serious person start cracking up.
During the Fourth Season "The Golden Girls" were at the top of their game. It doesn't get much better than this.
It's very sad that sitcoms no longer capture the warmth or comedy that "The Golden Girls" always had. Why can't the broadcast networks get their act together and make TV like this today?

TWO THINGS ITALIANS DON'T DO, LIE ABOUT PIZZA & FILE A TAX RETURN!!!Nov 10, 2005
By Tamra J. Gibson
"70's tv addict!!!"
Thank goodness we diehard fans don't have to wait over 6 months for The Golden Girls fourth season to be released on dvd!!! I noticed this particular season the character of Sophia really shines. She competes with Blanche over a man, gets a pizza commercial (too funny!), gets laid and married (in that order), and is leading a full productive secret life! Way to go Sophia!!
Although I love Sophia dearly, Dorothy is my favorite golden girl! Beatrice Arthur can make me laugh out loud just from her priceless facial expressions! I can't wait to purchase the Golden Girls intimate portrait dvd on November 15th because I missed it when aired on Lifetime. I'm totally looking forward to spending Valentine's Day with a box of chocolates and The Golden Girls Season 4!!! Okay! Okay! a hot lover will be nice too!!! Now only if the powers at be will finally release Maude on dvd!!!

Hope They release them all soon!Jan 21, 2006
I think that the Golden Girls season 4 is going to be awesome I can't wait to buy it because there are a bunch of episodes that I havent seen on the 1988-1989 series. I think most of all I want to see "Yes,We Have No Havanas" because I saw it once but don't remember it so maybe this season will get me caught up on the only last few episodes I didn't see on television. I also hope they put out seasons 5,6, and 7 on DVD soon also plus the Golden Palace so I can continue to buy my favorite television show of all time!!!!!

Golden Girls: Season FourFeb 23, 2006
By Joseph Haggard Jr.
"The Golden Girls" continued to be the funniest show on TV as it went into Season Four. Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, and Sophia were all back together for another hilarious season. As far as where this season ranks with the three previous seasons, Season Four doesn't quite top Season Two. But it's right up there with Season One and Season Three, which is an amazing accomplishment. "The Golden Girls" was definitely at its peak when the fourth season aired.
SEASON FOUR (1988-89)
It's very hard for any TV show to continue being at the top of its game while going into a four season on the air. But "The Golden Girls" continued to excel and succeed as the fourth season played out. Episodes from Season Four to remember: Blanche and Sophia vying for the affections of a charming old Cuban guy; Rose winning the award as St. Olaf's Woman of the Year, and the girls traveling to Rose's home state of Minnesota for the awards ceremony; Sophia getting knocked on the head by a baseball at a baseball game; Sophia marrying her late husband's best friend; Blanche's brother who pays a visit and breaks some shocking news to Blanche; Blanche dating a blind man; Dorothy dating a man who, despite his plain looks, turns out to be the greatest lover she's ever had; the girls flashing back to Valentine's Day disasters; the girls putting together a charity variety show and trying to get Bob Hope to be their emcee (after Rose admits that Bob Hope is her father!); Rose trying to break an addiction of pills; the girls trying to get an old friend of Sophia's out of a nursing home that looks like a slum; the discovery that Dorothy might not be Sophia's daughter; and Blanche attempting to sell her house.
After being rewarded with Emmys and Golden Globes for the first three seasons, the awards parade stopped for "The Golden Girls" after season four in 1989. After receiving 15 Emmy nominations and 4 wins for Season One, 14 Emmy nominations and 3 wins for Season Two, 12 Emmy nominations and 3 wins for Season Three, "The Golden Girls" received 10 Emmy nominations for Season Four and ended up being shut out. That was not right. One Emmy it should have won for its fourth season was for Estelle Getty, who I thought was going to repeat as Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for the second season in a row. But Rhea Perlman ended up winning the Emmy in a shocking upset as Best Supporting Actress for her role as Carla on "Cheers", and was her fourth win in that category. The Emmy should have gone to Getty, who was just as funny in Season Four as she was in Seasons One, Two, and Three. She continued to get the biggest laughs and continued to steal the show from her three co-stars Beatrice Arthur, Betty White, and Rue McClanahan (who all lost the Best Actress in a Comedy Series Emmy to Candice Bergen, winning her first of five Emmys for "Murphy Brown"). But still, 10 Emmy nominations is quite an honor for a fourth season of a show. Many times a show loses Emmy steam when it gets to its fourth season (not always, but sometimes).
Season Four of "The Golden Girls" featured some unforgettable guest stars. As a matter of fact, probably the most memorable guest appearence on "The Golden Girls" in its entire seven year run came in Season Four. It's the most memorable because the guest star turned out to be one of the greatest Hollywood entertainers of our time. That guest star was the great Bob Hope, who made a surprise cameo appearence as himself in the episode "You Gotta Have Hope", which is the one where Rose thinks Bob Hope is her father. Other guest stars included Jack Gilford (from "Cocoon") as Sophia's new husband in the two-part episode "Sophia's Wedding"; Monte Markham as Blanche's brother with a dark secret in the episode "Scared Straight"; John Fiedler as Dorothy's plain-looking new lover in the episode "Love Me Tender"; Latin singer Julio Iglesias as himself in the "Valentine's Day" episode; Anne Francis as Dorothy's old school chum and competitive rival in the episode "Till Death Do We Volley"; Jay Thomas (from "Murphy Brown") as a TV commercial director in the episode "High Anxiety"; Inga Swenson (from "Benson") as Rose's little sister who comes to visit and charms Dorothy and Blanche but constantly keeps giving Rose the shaft in the episode "Little Sister"; and Ellen Albertini Dow (seen recently in the smash hit comedy "Wedding Crashers") as Sophia's friend stuck in a nasty nursing home in the episode "Sophia's Choice". Also making an appearence on "The Golden Girls" during Season Four was a then unknown Quentin Tarantino (several years before becoming a top-notch director of feature films such as "Pulp Fiction" and the two "Kill Bill" movies) as an Elvis impersonator in part 1 of the episode "Sophia's Wedding".
"The Golden Girls": The Complete Fourth Season is a great TV show to add to you're DVD collection if you're a big fan of the show. I'm currently watching the episodes of Season Four, and I've been laughing my head off just like I did when I first saw these episodes over 15 years ago.
