Britt Gillette's The Golden Girls DVD (Season 2) ReviewMaking its debut in the fall of 1985, The Golden Girls quickly established itself as a fixture of Saturday night prime time television. Following the lives of four older women living together as roommates in Miami, the show displayed a raw wit and a sharp humor. The women live in the house of Blanche Devereaux (Rue McClanahan), a Southern belle who loves men of every kind and has dated every eligible bachelor in the Miami area. Her roommates are former high school teacher Dorothy Zbornak (Bea Arthur) and St. Olaff housewife and widower Rose Nylund (Betty White). Rose loves to tell stories about her former hometown, much to the chagrin of the other girls. The three girls are joined by Dorothy's mother, firebrand Sophia Petrillo (Estelle Getty), a spunky Italian immigrant who always speaks her mind. In her early-eighties, Sophia may walk at a measured pace, but the velocity of her sarcasm only increases with age. The Golden Girls Season 2 DVD offers a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere in which Blanche comes to the conclusion that she's pregnant (in reality she's beginning menopause). In episode #27, the girls have tickets to the opening of the new Burt Reynolds movie (which entitles them to meet the famous actor), but while waiting in a hotel lounge for the show to begin, they're caught in a police raid and arrested for prostitution. Other episodes include Rose's dating of Isaac Newton, the girls taking care of an abandoned baby, and an aborted attempt (episode #51) to establish the cast of the later spin-off show Empty Nest Overall, this is a charming situation comedy with likeable characters who have certainly developed their own unique identities. Although some parts of the show tend to be used over and over again (such as the St. Olaff stories and Dorothy's reaction to them), The Golden Girls never seems to grow tiresome. With powerful performances from each of the cast members, viewers will find that Sophia's wit steals the show Below is a list of episodes included on The Golden Girls Season 2 DVD: Episode 26 (End of the Curse) Air Date: 09-27-1986 Britt Gillette _____________________________________________________________________________________________ |
