The Golden Girls - The Complete Fifth Season (1985) Review

The Golden Girls - The Complete Fifth Season (1985)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am overjoyed to see that this wonderful series has finally come to DVD. I have watched it for many years on television and recorded all their episodes (thirty tapes worth). After all these years, it is still one of my all time favorite shows due to its atmosphere of camaraderie, coziness, and interesting story lines. The main characters were so well acted that I feel as though they were members of my own family. However, the secondary actors generally did a very poor job.
For those of you who are devoted fans you might be interested in this list of episodes and summaries that I have compiled :
1. Sick and Tired Part 1 :
Dorothy begins to feel rather sick for no apparent reason. She visits numerous doctors who treat her as though she is crazy since they are unable to diagnose her malady. Simultaneously, Blanche begins to write a romance novel.
2. Sick and Tired Part 2 :
Finally, Dorothy is able to locate a doctor who is sympathetic to her problem. He explains to her that she does, in actuality have a malady entitled Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, that has just been discovered. Later, when the girls are at a restaurant, Dorothy encounters one of her previous doctors and embarrasses him in front of the entire restaurant when she delivers her sermon against the conceit and unwillingness of some doctors to believe their patients when they are truly ill.
3. The Accurate Conception :
Blanche disapproves when her unmarried daughter, Rebecca, decides to get artificially inseminated.
4. Rose Fights Back :
When Charlie's old company goes bankrupt, they send Rose a letter telling her that they can no longer send her the pension she had been receiving. Unable to afford to live on her own, she begins her search for a new job with dire consequences. She is refused at every job due to her age. Meanwhile, Sophia acquires a membership at a Shopper's Warehouse and begins to order massive quantities of utterly useless groceries including five cartons of sardines.
5. That Old Feeling
Blanche falls in love with her late husband`s brother. However, he refuses to marry her saying that she is in love with the memory of her dead husband, not in love with him as an individual. Meanwhile, Sophia is stealing the car to go on a blind date.
6. Love Under the Big Top
Dorothy's lawyer boyfriend decides that he would rather take a job as a circus clown. Blanche and Rose participate in a demonstration against killing sea creatures (such as dolphins and tuna.)
7. Not Another Monday
Sophia's friend, Martha, decides that she cannot bear "to die in inches," and thus decides to commit suicide. She then begs Sophia to be with her as she dies. While Sophia continues to debate the morals of this issue, Blanche, Rose, and Dorothy take care of an infant over the weekend that becomes dreadfully ill.
8. Dancing In The Dark
Rose's new boyfriend, Miles Webber, causes her to feel stupid due to his superior intellect. However, they eventually come to realize that they love each other despite their differences.

It appears that he has turned away from his responsibilities and intends to reside with his parents in a state of permanent childhood. Meanwhile, Rose demands an assistant at work.
10. Ebbtide

12. Clinton Avenue Memories

Dorothy reluctantly helps Stan after he looses most of his money and the girls realize that they should consider others on Christmas.
14. Great Expectations

15. Mary Had A Little Lamb

Meanwhile, Sophia proceeds to put an old Sicilian curse on the grandfather of the groom who deserted her on their wedding day, seventy years earlier. Rose leaves the reception and boards a plane to be reunited with Miles.
24. All Bets Off
Dorothy returns to her addiction to gambling, something she thought she had conquered fifteen years earlier. Meanwhile, Blanche decides to date her co-worker and Rose takes up painting.
25-26. The Presidents Coming! The Presidents Coming! Parts 1&2
The President is coming to Miami to dedicate the new Senior Citizens building and decides that he would like to meet Dororthy, Rose, Blanche, and Sophia. As the girls anticipate his arrival, they begin to discuss their past which mostly concerns clips from previous episodes.
This is an excellent show, and I highly recommend it. The characters are so wonderful that you will share their joys and sorrows as though they were your own.

Friends: The Complete Eighth Season (2001) Review

Friends: The Complete Eighth Season (2001)
Average Reviews:

I have to start out by saying that, yes, I'm an obsessive fan of Friends. I have been checking this website EVERY single day since season 7 was released hoping and praying that season 8 would show up, and after what has seemed like eternity, I just turned on the computer and found out that season 8 of Friends will be released on November 9th!!! I have to admit that season 7 is one of the worst seasons of Friends. It's pretty much just a long, drawn-out planning of Chandler and Monica's wedding. Season 8 is much better, where we start out by finding out that Rachel is pregnant and end with the birth of baby Emma, while following the first year of Monica and Chandler's marriage. Let me give you a quick run down of season 8:
The One After "I Do" - The group finds out Rachel is pregnant and Chandler reveals his two left feet.
The One With The Red Sweater - Everyone finds out that Ross is the father of Rachel's baby, except Ross himself.
The One Where Rachel Tells - Ross Finds out he's the father
The One With The Video Tape - Ross shows the gang the videotape of him and Rachel having sex to determine who pursued whom.
The One With Rachel's Date - Ross is uneasy finding out Rachel is going on a date while pregnant with his baby.
The One With The Halloween Party - Pheobe meets Ursula's fiance (Sean Penn)and ross dresses up as "Spudnik"
The One With The Stain - Sean Penn leaves Ursula for Pheobe and Joey puts up a nursery so Rachel will stay at his place.
The One With The Stripper - Monica orders a stripper for Chandler's belated b-day and she turns out to be a hooker.
The One With The Rumor - Brad Pitt guest stars on the thanksgiving episode with the "I hate Rachel" club from HS.
The One With Monica's Boots - Chandler is upset when Monica buys an expensive pair of boots that hurt her feet.
The One With Ross' Step Forward - Rachel ponders sleeping with Joey after feeling the hormonal changes in her pregnancy.
The One Where Joey Dates Rachel - Joey dates Rachel (duh!)
The One Where Chandler Take A Bath - Rachel and Ross decide not to learn the sex of their unborn child until Rachel peeks.
The One With The Secret Closet - Chandler discovers Monica's secret closet that is insanely messy.
The One With The Birthing Video - Chandler loses his romantic mood on Valentines day after seeing a birthing video meant for Rachel.
The One Where Joey Tells Rachel - Joey tells Rachel how he feels
The One With The Tea Leaves - Joey feels akward about confessing his love to Rachel so he tries to avoid her, Ross tries to get his pink t-shirt back from girlfriend Mona's apartment.
The One in Massapequa - Monica regrets giving a toast at her parents 35th anniversary and Pheobe's new boyfriend (Alec Baldwin) drive everyone crazy.
The One With Joey's Interview - Joey get another interview with Soap Opera Digest but he insists his friends be there so he doesn't mess it all up like he did the last time (when he lost his first role on Days of Our Lives)
The One With The Baby Shower - Rachel feels unprepared about being a mother and agrees to let her mother move in to help her
The One With The Cooking Class - After being criticized in the paper, Monica attends a cooking class where she is considered a cullinary genius.
The One Where Rachel is Late - Rachel is past her due date and gets more irritable, and is willing to try anything that might make the baby come.
The One Where Rachel Has A Baby - In the season finale, Rachel is in pain while other women get rolled into hospital rooms before her. Monica and Chandler find an empty room to make love in so they can have their own baby, and Rachel runs into Janice when she is rolled into the same hospital room.
Great stuff here in Friends season 8, you won't be disappointed!

Friends: The Complete Tenth Season (2003) Review

Friends: The Complete Tenth Season (2003)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
In the past ten years, JENNIFER ANISTON, COURTENEY COX ARQUETTE, LISA KUDROW, MATT LEBLANC, MATTHEW PERRY, and DAVID SCHWIMMER had always been there for us, as we were for them. They have made us laugh outloud until our sides split. They made us laugh when we felt down about something. They were there for us, just like the song said. Now, it is time for our six best & dearest friends to say goodbye.
We had seen our Friends last in Barbados, where Charlie had broken up with Joey, for she was way to smart for Joey, meaning that they had nothing in common. Charlie went to Ross, since they both are Paleontologists. Joey finds them kissing, which leads him to kiss Rachel, after Rachel had confessed to Joey that she had a crush on him. Ross finds out and becomes mentally unstable, but realizes that he does not want to stand in the way of his two best friends. But fortunately, Rachel realized that she really does not want to be with Joey in the sense of a loving relationship, for she doesn't feel that way about him. So, they break up only after a week. But they decide to remain very good friends.
Phoebe is back into a healthy relationship with Mike. She feels that she is not going to let him get away this time. After awhile, Phoebe wants to know why Mike has not yet proposed to her. But her wish might finally come true. Mike takes her to a hockey game and is ready to propose to Phoebe by having a WILL-YOU-MARRY-ME message flash upon the backdrop hockey screen. But somebody else had proposed to his girlfriend that way, causing Phoebe to feel that that is the dumbest way to propose. But Mike proposes to Phoebe the old-fashioned way: in a romantic restaurant. Phoebe accepts Mike's offer and gears herself up to become the beautiful Bride. Ross and Charlie break up, since Charlie went back to her boyfriend, Ben.
Phoebe and Mike's wedding day has arrived, where they have a beautiful winter wedding outside the coffee house.
Monica and Chandler are now adopting a child. A woman named Erica is pregnant and is looking for a married couple to adopt her baby. She has picked Monica and Chandler. After finding out that they are going to be parents, Monica and Chandler decide to move to into a house in Westchester
Rachel is fired from her job at Ralph Lauren. Rachel runs into Mark, the one man Ross has been jealous of when he had helped Rachel get her job at Bloomingdales. Mark helps her find a job in fashion, but it is in Paris. Rachel decides to go, while Ross is devastated.
The night before, Rachel gives everyone a warm goodbye, but not Ross. Ross yells at her for not giving him a warm goodbye. Rachel runs over to his place and explains why. She didn't say goodbye because it was already hard to say goodbye to Joey, Chandler, Phoebe, and Monica. She tells him that because of she and Ross had been through, it is even harder to say goodbye to him, which leads the two into kissing, where they sleep together. He hoped this would make her stay, but it doesn't work. She sets out to the airport as, Erica, who has temporarily moved into New York to be closer to Monica and Chandler, goes into labor. Joey, Chandler, Monica, and Phoebe convince Ross to go after Rachel and tell her how much he really loves her. Phoebe drives him to the airport. Phoebe helps out by driving Ross and by making the passengers to Paris, by phone, think there is something wrong with the plane.
Once the plane thing was worked out, Rachel boards as Ross and Phoebe arrive. Ross calls out to Rachel. She comes off the jet way and is surprised to see him. He confesses his true love for her. But it scares her, so she gets back on the plane without saying a word. Ross, hurt, goes on home. He arrives at home and checks his answering machine and gets a message from Rachel, apologizing for not saying anything to the beautiful things he said to her. It made her realize that she loves him just as much as he does her. She tries getting off the plane, but the flight attendants wouldn't let her, where the message is cut off. A second later, all we hear is, "I got off the plane". He runs over to Rachel, grabs her and hugs so passionately. They vow to not do anything to mess this up again. Ross and Rachel are now back in the game forever. Erica has given birth to a beautiful baby boy and a baby girl.
They are all packed up. Monica leaves her key on the counter for the superintendent, which leads Chandler, Joey, Ross, Phoebe, and Rachel to leave their keys as well. They all hug each other, until Rachel, through tears, asks, "Do you guys have to move into the house right away or do you still have time?" They have time, which leads Rachel into asking, "Well, do you wanna get some coffee?" They all agree and head out to the coffee house one last time as a six-Friend group. They take the babies with them as they walk out of the empty once-owned-by-Monica apartment, with their arms around each other.
Yes, we will laugh because our friends are incredibly funny. But at the very end, we will all be crying as we watch our friends go on and open up new chapters in their lives. Even though the show is now over, our six best friends want to tell us something and it is something that The Rembrandts once said: "I'll Be There For You when the rain starts to pour. I'll Be There For You like I've been there before. I'll Be There For You 'cause you're there for me too". To Jennifer, Courteney, Lisa, Matt, Matthew, & David: We want you to know that we love you, we miss you, we need you.
Guest stars include: Paul Rudd, Danny DeVito, Greg Kinnear, Aisha Tyler, Donnie Osmand, Dakota Fanning, Jennifer Coolidge, Christina Applegate, Elliott Gould, Christina Pickles, Giovanni Ribisi, Anna Farris, & Brent Spinner
