This is an excellent review; very well-worded and covering everything a potential buyer would want to know before purchasing the DVD!!!

Sounds really Great! I love how you said "be prepared to hear some colorful language from Bea.

I got my DVD this morning at Wal-Mart ($42 Canadian) along with the first two seasons of The Facts of Life.

GoldenGirlsFan92 · 05-09-2006, 06:13 PM

I can't wait to get mine! I'm thinking mine will come on Friday may 12,2006 just like Season 4. It came that friday of the release week!

Mister Ed · 05-09-2006, 07:20 PM

Great job on the review. I just picked up my set today, also.

I'm just amazed that Buena Vista hasn't given us any info on when Season 6 will be releaded. If you think about it Buena Vista for the last 2 DVD releases have told us when the next Season would be out like a week before that Season came out.Well, Season 5 is out and no info. on Season 6. I personally think it will be out in September/October most likely October. This is because "Scrubs:Season 4" is rumored to come out in October, and for the last 2 releases of "Scrubs" "The Golden Girls" have come out on that same day. Now the good thing mamby is Buena Vista is taking longer 5 more than 3 months is mamby there are working on better Bonus Features. I think that may be it, and by all means Buena Vista take your time (not too long), but work for even better than Season 5. Also I would just like to say Thank You Buena Vista for putting together Great Bonus Features for Season 5!

Mister Ed · 05-09-2006, 11:21 PM

I think the sixth season will be out either in August or November.

80sTrivia · 05-10-2006, 05:48 AM

I just received my copy of Season Five, and I'm thrilled! I really enjoy the commentaries from the actors the most!

Bad News.

It appears the episodes (or some) are syndicated cuts. Some people are finding lines that are cut from the NBC showing - and strangely nobody has found material cut from Lifetime. It could be possible that Season 3 & 4 were also cut when the stereo track came back.

There is more information here:

I don't know if this is true! I mean Buena Vista has ben really good to us with the dvds, now why would they start this?? I mean do peopl who have the dvd already think that they are edited episodes??

MY 200th Post!!

GoldenGirlsFan92 · 05-10-2006, 08:29 PM

Well I'm very impressed with Barenes&Nobles and UPS. I thought my DVd would come Fri., but it came tonight just like 7mins ago. I haven't opened it but it looks very good, and the cover. I also like the back cover art. It's one of the only pictures that you seen Sophia with glasses on the DVD covers. I can't wait to hear the commentaries. But I got homework to do tonight! Dann, homework comes first then play, but mamby i'll finish mine before bedtime and watch "Sick&Tired Part 1"! This will be a Great season & there are episodes I've never seen.

Mister Ed · 05-10-2006, 09:47 PM

I don't mind if some episode are edited, just not the whole set. There must have been some kind of problem, unfortunetly.

GoldenGirlsFan92 · 05-11-2006, 07:24 AM

I really don't think they are edited. So I've watched eps. 1-3. They have been great & great picture quality. Also i've listened to Rue's commentary & listening to Bea's right now, but she really isn't saying to much, but it is still very cool to have these features. It does stink that you can't press the audio button from the controler to listen to the main menu. Also in Rue's commentary she said that she was working on her book & that she was on the 16th chapter.

Irresistible · 05-11-2006, 05:18 PM

I have noticed some stuff cut from Lifetime. Like in the episode Sisters And Other Strangers. and in some other epiosdes.
