2.0 out of 5 stars
Good start--poorly executed, October 2, 2006
This review is from: The Golden Girls: The Ultimate Viewing Guide (Paperback)
This is the only viewing guide on The Golden Girls, which of course puts it miles ahead of anything else--there is nothing else! The core of the book is good. Episode guides for each episode, and information on the air dates, guest stars, etc. The synopsis are, at times, too succinct, but it's an efficient book.
Now, this is where it gets bad: This is a published-on-demand book, and appears to have original been self-published. It's evident in that there are so many typos, inconsistencies in spelling, missing or incorrect punctuation, and layout inconsistencies that it's a very, very, VERY difficult book to sit down and read. Also, the section of the book that deals purely with the storyline inconsistences of the show is woefully lacking.
The book could benefit immensely from someone with a good editing pencil.

Overpriced and Underwhelmed, November 7, 2009
This review is from: The Golden Girls: The Ultimate Viewing Guide (Paperback)
I was under the impression that the volume (an overview of the many seasons of The Golden Girls)would be lavishly illustrated and well-written. It was neither. I have purchased books like this for far less and the quality was so much better.It was a mistake that I will be careful to never make again. There are also grammatical errors and misspellings in the text. But I suppose that it's the only viewing guide on The Golden Girls available. But ultimate is pushing it.

Not Good, March 19, 2009
This review is from: The Golden Girls: The Ultimate Viewing Guide (Paperback)
Wow! I think this "book" was written by a high school drop out. I suppose it has all the basic facts about the show, but the writing is so bad it's distracting.
