Making 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 biting 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 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.

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…

The Golden Girls (Season 4) DVD offers a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere “Yes, We Have No Havanas” in which Blanche and Sophia discover that they’re both dating the same sweet-talking Cuban, prompting a heated competition for his affections... Other notable episodes include “The Auction” in which the girls try to pay for a new roof by profiting from the impending death of a celebrated painter, and “You Gotta Have Hope” in which Dorothy’s hospital charity event is headed for disaster, at least until Rose reveals that her father, Bob Hope, will perform at the show…
