Got these disks as an XMAS gift from my parents. They will play a while, then pause and skip, etc... First they are very compressed versions of the originals ordered from the US (The regular are dual layer disks, these are single layer with the same exact movies), so the quality is less. Next, like I said there are playback issues with at least half of the disks. I don't think it is scratches, etc.. It is the way they were pressed at the factory (factory?????). No visible scracthes, and if you make an exact copy of the disk (no copy protection on them), the problem exists at the exact same place. I would not waste your money on these disks and just spend the few extra dollars and get the American versions.

Blanche, Rose, Sofia and of course Dorothy played so well by Bea Arthur was a sensational tv show.
I just had to have the whole series.
Some of the episodes are unforgettable and hilarious. I have so many, many favorites. I'm going to keep them to myself, rather than making a boringly long, personal review.
Blanche and her boyfriends, Rose and her outlook, Sofia's great wit and Dorothy being the butt of jokes is just precious.
I love the complete set and am very appreciative of owning it.

I love The Golden Girls. I had this set bought for me The Golden Girls - The Complete Series (Seasons 1-7) because it is obviously all of the seasons that were released individually but together in one package. The only problem is that when I get them I put the first disc in and started out working great! That is...it played perfectly...until the 5th episode and then decides that it doesn't want to work any longer and starts skipping large chunks of episodes. I am absolutely furious! Seeing as how it was ordered for me I don't know who to get in touch with, whether any of the other discs are going to be problematic (it is a 21 disc set!), and whether or not I'll be able to get an exchange or if they will even work.

That said, save yourself some trouble and go out to a store and buy the seasons individually. At least then you'll have a better chance of them working properly. You may even save money in the end that way. I just want discs that work!

I bought this series for my grandma for Christmas and it is very funny. The only problem is not all of the discs will play. It is a very funny series as anyone who has watched it on television knows but with the prospect of having to buy a couple of the seasons again with the defective discs, I'm not sure it was worth the money.

i bought this as a gift for my Girlfriend and she loves it!!
it allows her to watch it on her laptop while i watch TV.
ITS GREAT!!!!

What can you say? Awesome! The Golden Girls will make laugh, make you cry and stand up cheer. This is a perfect gift for women! I give it two thumbs up!!!!

As a little girl growing up in the 80s, I used to watch Golden Girls with my grandmother. This great show never failed to make me laugh, even if I did not exactly understand many of the jokes, such as Blanche's constant sex talk. Now, as a grown woman, I appreciate this show even more. Dorothy is my favourite character. She is so sharp and sarcastic. Sophia is awesome with her oft-invented tales of life in Sicily and Brooklyn. Rose is hilarious with her ditziness and St-Olaf stories. Then there is Blanche, the sexiest senior to hit the shores of Miami since Kim Kardashian's mother! The entire series should be owned by all! A worthwhile investment!

The plastic dvd holder fell out and the dvd kept falling out of case and it would not fit back into case. The quality of the first dvd was not good.

I am not going to be original and just say that The Golden Girls (1985-1992) is pure gold of the sitcom. This is the show about four women, three in their late 50s, and one - octogenerian but not many showhs would compare with the brilliance, fun, laughs, good jokes, catchy one-liners, great pacing, sparks, the perfect casting, the unique chemistry between the Girls - the rare fun that every one of 180 (yes, every one) episodes of the show is. The show about the women who may have passed the primes of their lives but still are funny, sexy, full of life, beautiful, vibrant, and value the gift of friendship, is a winner. The casting of four highly talented actresses as four friends sharing a house in Miami, Florida back in the 1980s proved to be the real gold. Sharp and no-nonsense Dorothy (Beatrice Arthur, RIP), naive beyond belief raised on the Minnesota farm Rose (Betty White, the last surviving Golden Girl), Southern belle Blanche, fun loving and much more fun having namesake of another less fortunate Blanche(Rue McClanahan, RIP), and Dorothy's Sicilian mother Sophia (Estelle Getty, RIP), the coolest, sharpest, funniest 80+ mom TV ever known, are all equally fabulous and bring to every scene of every episode wit, class, humor, and talent. What fascinates and touches me - The Golden Show is equally interesting and appeals to both men and women, to the young ones and well... the golden ones :) because it is - simply one of its kind and it mixes funny and touching, serious and hilarious, satiric and sentimental in perfect measure and balance. I have problems chosing my favorite girl. I wish all of them were my personal friends and I want to thank THEM for being the best TV friends.

I bought this for my mother, she is 94 and in an independent living home. The beauty of it is all of us enjoy watching the series.
