The Golden Girls was one show my sisters and mother and I could all enjoy after school. I started buying the complete seasons on DVD this year, partly for nostalgia, and partly because I found the show calmed my nerves at the end of a stressful day. Well, an addiciton formed, and in my addict/expert opinion, Season 4 is my favorite. The show was truly at it's peak at Season 4. So much happens, yet the action is not contrived. Blanche and Rose get duped by their "little buddies" when they try to be big sisters. Rose's sister Holly visits and tries to hijack Rose's friends, not to mention Blanche's boyfriend. Sophia buys a Cuban man she believes is a great boxer, and "The Girls" learn a lesson about stereotypes. The show tackles social issues, like homelessness, when a search for The Girls' winning lottery ticket leads them to an overnight at a shelter. Season 4 has the best action, steering away from the relationship dilemma theme found in other seasons, and always with the same classic humor.

Yet another classic example of what a true classic tv show is all about.Great writing,and talented cast.Here we have four older woman all sharing a house in Miami,all with there own personalities somehow are all able to mesh together.This was one of the great sitcoms that came out of the '80's.I have loved this show since it debuted in September of 1985,when I was nine,I'm now thirty-four and the girls still as fresh and hilliarous as ever.I would recommend to all if you loved this show when it originally aired,the go and buy it from e-Bay and have beautifully restored on DVD,all without being edited like those channels that currently air them.Atleast the jokes are restored.Another plus to own this DVDSet is the bonus feature in this particular season.So Iwould recommend buying The Golden Girls Season 4 today.

This is another great season of the Golden girls. A lot of stuff happens this season. They have a lot of visitors. This season is full of humor, Jealousy, and sexiness. Sofia gets married. Blanch dates a blind man. Rose thinks Bob Hope is her father. Rose thinks she sees an UFO. There are 26 episodes total and a run time of 624 minutes (10 hours 24 minutes). Young or old, you won’t be disappointed in this DVD set.
