As the saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," and the second season of The Golden Girls picks up where the first ended. The same classic quartet--Blanche, Rose, Dorothy, and Sophia--is back, along with their snappy retorts, shoulder pads, and cheesecake. Well, there was one change. In the season premiere, "End of the Curse," Blanche (Rue McClanahan) goes through menopause. Highlights of the 26 episodes include "Ladies of the Evening," featuring a cameo from Burt Reynolds, just a few years prior to his own network sitcom, Evening Shade. As Blanche exclaims, "Mr. Burt Reynolds is one of our finest living actors...I mean, you put Sir Laurence Olivier in Cannonball Run--see what he can do." Then there's "Isn't It Romantic?" with Lois Nettleton (In the Heat of the Night) as Dorothy's lesbian friend, Jean, who falls for an unsuspecting Rose (Betty White). As was often the case, a sensitive subject is handled with taste and humor and resulted in an Emmy nomination for Nettleton's performance. Further highlights include a white-wigged Nancy Walker (The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Rhoda) as Sophia's long-lost sister, Angela, in "The Sisters" and "Long Day's Journey Into Marinara," and a pompadoured George Clooney (ER) in "To Catch a Neighbor." The final episode of The Golden Girls second season, "Empty Nest," features David Leisure and Oscar winner-Rita Moreno (West Side Story) and sets the scene for creator Susan Harris's 1988 spin-off, Empty Nest (although only Leisure would segue to the new show, while Soap's Richard Mulligan would take over for Moreno). --Kathleen C.

Average Customer Rating: 5.0 out of 5

1) I CAN NOW RELATE TO THESE WONDERFUL LADIES!!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
The Golden Girls has always been my favorite show. I watched the shows in the beginning, and I have watched them in reruns over and over. I now own ALL the seasons and still enjoy watching them--especially since I can now relate to that age group. Who says old ladies can't have a GREAT time. My motto is that "beautiful old people are works of art." CAN'T WAIT TO RETIRE!!

2) More of my favorite ladies.   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
The Golden Girls - The Complete Second Season is another stellar season! Some real great and hilarious episodes like when Blanche thinks she's pregnant and Rose thinks she killed a grumpy and bitter neighbor. They don't make shows like this anymore, these gray-haired firecrackers will keep you laughing for many years, I highly recommend this fabulous purchase!

3) Excellent!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This was just what I was looking for. My favorite series, great price and quality, quick delivery on excellent condition.

4) Still Golden   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I love The Golden Girls :) The humor in the second season is great. In this season, each character sets into their own personality. Dorothy: The serious, smart, dry humor one. Sophia: The sarcastic, quick-witted, wise one (picture this...). Rose: The dumb one (well, not really dumb, just lacking some common sense), huge heart/love for animals, huge story teller. Blanche: The Floozy with the southern draw. If you are looking for something with humor and an great story line, The Golden Girls is the way to go.

5) Golden Girls Season 2   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Who doesn't love the Golden Girls? I have loved this show from the first time my Mom and I watched it together. This show is definitely a classic. I have purchased all seven seasons plus the Lifetime Intimate Portrait on all four ladies, and I just can't pick a favorite. From the first episode to the last, I lived, loved, and laughed with these Golden ladies.
