The Third Season is One of the Best!, July 25, 2005
This is the third season of the 1980s-1990s hit show, "The Golden Girls." There are twenty-five episodes, with a total runtime of appx. 550 minutes (9 hours and 10 minutes). Below are summaries of the shows written by myself:
1. "Old Friends"
Sophia befriends an old man on the boardwalk whom she becomes quick friends with, but his actions seem a little strange. Also, Blanche accidentally gives away Rose's favorite teddy bear at a garage sale.
2. "One for The Money"
The girls reminisce about times they've tried to quickly make money after Sophia attempts a get-rich-quick plot.
3. "Bringing Up Baby"
Rose's dead uncle leaves a pig with her and the girls. The only thing keeping the girls from killing Rose is the money they get when Baby dies.
4. "The Housekeeper"
The girls hire, then fire a housekeeper who may have magical powers, when it seems as though the girls may be cursed.
5. "Nothing to Fear But Fear Itself"
Rose has to conquer her biggest fear: Public speaking. This prompts Dorothy and Blanche to reminisce about their greatest fears.
6. "Letter to Gorbachev"
When Rose writes a letter to Mikhail Gorbachev about nuclear war, she becomes stunned when she finds out Gorbachev wants to personally speak to her.
7. "Strange Bedfellows"
The girls partake in a campaign to help a local man get elected to office. However, Blanche's sexual desires seem to have a way to mess that up.
8. "Brotherly Love"
Blanche attempts to go for the stereotypical rich doctor. Sadly for her, the only one he's interested in is Dorothy.
9. "A Visit From Little Sven"
Before his marriage, Rose's cousin pays her a visit. But, when Sven goes ga-ga for Blanche, will the marriage hold up?
10. "The Audit"
When Dorothy gets a visit from Stan, it's never pleasant. This time, when taxes are involved, it becomes a lot worse.
11. "Three on a Couch"
During a visit with a therapist, the four reminisce about times they've argued and bickered.
12. "Charlie's Buddy"
An old friend of Rose's husband stops by for a visit. But, is it more than just that?
13. "The Artist"
The girls pose nude for an artist who will unveil his sculpture at a gathering.
14. "Blanche's Little Girl"
When Blanche's overweight daughter comes to visit, she notices something a little off about her daughter's soon-to-be-husband.
15. "Dorothy's New Friend"
Dorothy befriends an author who really displeases the other girls.
16. "Grab That Dough"
The girls go on a game show together. But, after the events before that, they'll need all the luck in the world.
17. "My Brother, My Father"
Sophia's religious brother pays a visit. However, he has no knowledge that Dorothy and Stan are seperated.
18. "Golden Moments, Part One"
Sophia plans on moving in with Phil. This makes the girls reminisce about all the times they've shared.
19. "Golden Moments, Part Two"
The girls continue reminiscing as Sophia is contemplating on where to go.
20. "And Ma Makes Three"
When Dorothy feels sorry for Sophia, she lets her tag along on one of her dates. Now, that's all she ever does.
21. "Larceny and Old Lace"
The girls become suspicious of Sophia's new boyfriend, claiming he's a thief.
22. "Rose's Big Adventure"
When Rose's boyfriend retires, he turns into a couch potato when she wants to do a lot more than lie around.
23. "Mixed Blessing"
When Dorothy's son comes to town to announce his engagement, it's not so bad until two bombshells are dropped.
24. "Mr. Terrific"
Rose begins to date, of all things, a local kid's show host.
25. "Mother's Day"
The girls wait for phone calls wishing them a good Mother's Day. While waiting, they remember past Mother's Days.
The extras for this set are:
- Golden Moments: a montage of humorous moments from Season Three
- The Golden Girls Scrapbook: a collection of hilarious clips from each Golden Girl
Altogether, this a wonderful show. And, if the first two sets are any indication, this season should be a wonderful set.

The Right Way To Do Dvd, August 12, 2005
It seems like here of late that many television shows put out on dvd contain the syndicated episodes, but not The Golden Girls. We should all commend Buena Vista for doing an excellent job of putting out a dvd set that contains the COMPLETE and UNCUT episodes of The Golden Girls. If you have ever watched the reruns on Lifetime, you know that the parts they cut out for syndication can add up to a lot of missing material. In one instance, a whole scene from an episode of season 2 was cut out because of syndication.
While it wouldn't hurt for this set to have more in the way of extras, I will gladly take no extras, if it meant getting the complete episode.

I WANT THIS BABY IN MY HANDS ON NOVEMBER 22 ASAP!!!!!, August 18, 2005
Needless to say I will "not" be pre-ordering the Golden Girls Season 3 because I've got to have this baby in my hands the minute the stores open on November 22nd!!!! Season One and Two were great, but the Golden Girls third Season was truly outstanding!!! Each Golden Girl should have recieved Emmy's for Lead Actress in a Comedy Series if it were possible, because this was one of their best seasons and each Golden Girl shined their brightest with such memorable episodes like when the girls take care of a pig for money, Blanche's "little girl", Dorothy dating Stans brother(truly funny, but a major scene was cut out for syndication),their attempts at making fast money ( the dance contest was priceless!!!), and many more!!! Well, I'll be at the Best Buy as soon as the doors open to purchase this long awaited dvd set!!!!!
