Movie Reviews of The Golden Girls - The Complete Fourth Season
Movie Review: "THE GOLDEN GIRLS" HAVE THEIR BEST SEASON IN HILARIOUS SEASON 4.
Summary: 5 Stars
The Golden Girls-- Beatrice Arthur (Dorothy), Betty White (Rose), Rue McClanahan (Blanche), and Estelle Getty (Sophia)-- reach new heights of hilarity in Season 4 (1988-1989); which may possibly be the best season, overall, of this beloved sitcom. Many of the best-remembered episodes are here in Season 4, directed by the outstanding Terry Hughes:
78: Yes, We Have No Havanas: Rose takes a history class from Dorothy in order to finally receive her high school diploma. Blanche and Sophia date the same man. Sophia calls Blanche a "50 year old mattress."
79. The Days And Nights Of Sophia Petrillo: Dorothy, Rose, and Blanche spend a lazy day at home while Sophia, on the other hand, has an extremely active day out in the community.
80. The One That Got Away: Rose and Dorothy see a U.F.0. Blanche sets out to seduce the one man she couldn't attract in high school.
81. Yokel Hero: Rose is nominated as "Woman Of The Year" in her hometown.
82. Bang The Drum, Stanley: After Sophia is bonked on the head by a baseball, Dorothy's ex-husband Stanley (Herbert Edelman) encourages her to file a phony lawsuit in order to get some quick cash.
83. Sophia's Wedding, Part 1: Jack Gilford guest stars as Max, an old friend of Sophia and her late husband Salvadore. Dorothy is shocked when Sophia and Max plan to get married. Blanche and Rose start an Elvis Presley fan club. Look for an uncredited Quentin Tarantino as one of several Elvis impersonators who attend the wedding.
84. Sophia's Wedding, Part 2: When Max moves in with Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, and Sophia, things get too close for comfort. When Max and Sophia's pizza/knish stand literally goes up in smoke, so does their marriage. Max and Sophia decide to go their separate ways, without getting divorced.
85. Brother, Can You Spare That Jacket: The Girls frantically search for a missing $10,000 lottery ticket, and spend the night in a homeless shelter.
86. Scared Straight: One of my favorite episodes. Blanche's brother Clayton (guest star Monte Markham) fears how Blanche will react when he tells her he is gay.
87. Stan Takes A Wife: When Stan is unusually warm and supportive during Sophia's health crisis, Dorothy discovers she still has feelings for him.
88. The Auction: Desperately in need of cash to repair a leaking roof, the Girls try to buy a painting; feeling certain the arrogant artist who painted it is on his deathbed.
89. Blind Date: Rose, Dorothy, and Sophia coach a kids football team. Blanche meets the perfect man, (guest star Edward Winter) unaware, at first, that he is blind.
90. The Impotence Of Being Earnest: In this hilarious episode, Rose helps her boyfriend Ernie overcome a very personal sexual problem.
91. Love Me Tender: Another hilarious episode! Dorothy is initially furious when Sophia sets her up on a blind date. She is soon delighted, however, when she discovers that her average, meek and mild date Eddie (guest star John Fiedler) is a "love machine" in bed.
92. Valentine's Day: The Girls recall Valentine's Days that went terribly wrong; including a trip to a nudist resort, and a trip to the drug store to buy condoms.
93. Two Rode Together: Dorothy's desire to spend more quality time with Sophia nearly drives Sophia nuts. Meanwhile, Rose and Blanche attempt to write a children's book together.
94. You Gotta Have Hope: There's no talent in the charity talent show, and no M.C, . either. Rose, however, remains convinced that Bob Hope will appear and make her dream come true. The Girls cross-dress as men while searching for Bob Hope in a locker room. Guest starring Douglas Searle, The Del Rubbio Triplets, and Bob Hope.
95. Fiddler On The Ropes: Things are more rocky than "Rocky" when Sophia invests all the Girls' money in a Cuban prize-fighter named Kid Pepe, who would rather be an actor/muscian than a fighter.
96. Till Death Do We Volley: The friendly "rivalry" and practical jokes between Dorothy and her high school friend Trudie ( guest star Anne Francis) goes wildly out of control.
97. High Anxiety: Sophia appears in a pizza commercial. Dorothy and Blanche discover that Rose has a serious addiction to pain pills. Guest starring Jay Thomas.
98. Little Sister; Everyone loves Rose's younger sister Holly (guest star Inga Swenson), except Rose, that is.
99. Sophia's Choice: Sophia helps her friend Lillian escape from "Sunny Pastures" nursing home. Dorothy and Sophia soon discover that, due to limited resourses and increasing budget cuts, nursing homes struggle and barely meet the "minimum standard" requirements.
100. Rites Of Spring: Desperately needing to diet, the Girls recall their previous attempts at self-improvement.
101. Foreign Exchange: Due to a 60 year old hospital mix-up, Dorothy fears she is not Sophia's daughter.
102-103: We're Outta Here. Parts 1 and 2: A "For Sale" sign is accidentally put on the lawn. When Blanche receives a large financial offer, she considers selling the house. Thus, the Girls recall the wild and wacky things they have shared over the years together.
DVD EXTRA: A funny featurette spotlighting the many jokes and guests stars of Season 4 (on Disc One).
Summary of The Golden Girls - The Complete Fourth Season
GOLDEN GIRLS:SEASON FOUR - DVD MovieLong before reality-show staples "Big Brother" and "The Real World" tapped into the drama and high-hilarity of cohabitation, the long-running "Golden Girls" paved the way into that prime-time show format. Only difference is that "Golden Girls" was pure fiction. Season Four stays true to the format that earned the series three Emmys and a Golden Globe Award: Three widowed/divorced friends in their '50s and one octogenarian mother and grandmother all share a home and their retirement in Miami, Florida. In a season that includes a UFO sighting and government cover up; the implications of drug addiction; a late-in-life wedding; the ridiculous '80s aerobics craze--spandex, headbands, leg warmers and all; a nightmarish nursing home; lesbianism; an intergenerational love triangle; and a trip to Rose's mythical St. Olaf; the episodes in Season Four are more entertaining and often downright risqué.
There are some notable cameos as well--Bob Hope steals the show in "You Gotta Have Hope" as the featured talent for Dorothy's hospital charity show; Richard Mulligan of "Empty Nest" bridges the spin-off link as the girls' newly widowed neighbor and object of Blanche's advances; Jay Thomas plays an overactive director in "High Anxiety," where the girls' kitchen is used as a TV commercial set; and blink and you'll miss a young Quentin Tarantino as an Elvis impersonator in "Sophia's Wedding." A terrific bonus feature captures the performances of all the season's guest stars on Disc One. Overall, Season Four is zestier and much less earnest than previous seasons, which is exactly what works about the series: the bawdier the grandmothers, the funnier the show. --Gabi Knight
