Amazon.co.uk Review

Long before reality-show staples Big Brother and The Real World tapped into the drama and high-hilarity of cohabitation, the long-running "Golden Girls" paved the way into that prime-time show format. The only difference is that Golden Girls was pure fiction. Season Four stays true to the format that earned the series three Emmys and a Golden Globe Award: three widowed/divorced friends in their '50s and one octogenarian mother and grandmother all share a home and their retirement in Miami, Florida. In a season that includes a UFO sighting and government cover up; the implications of drug addiction; a late-in-life wedding; the ridiculous '80s aerobics craze--spandex, headbands, leg warmers and all; a nightmarish nursing home; lesbianism; an intergenerational love triangle; and a trip to Rose's mythical St. Olaf; the episodes in Season Four are more entertaining and often downright risqué.

There are some notable cameos as well--Bob Hope steals the show in "You Gotta Have Hope" as the featured talent for Dorothy's hospital charity show; Richard Mulligan of Empty Nest bridges the spin-off link as the girls' newly widowed neighbor and object of Blanche's advances; Jay Thomas plays an overactive director in "High Anxiety," where the girls' kitchen is used as a TV commercial set; and blink and you'll miss a young Quentin Tarantino as an Elvis impersonator in "Sophia's Wedding". Overall, Season Four is zestier and much less earnest than previous seasons, which is exactly what works about the series: the bawdier the grandmothers, the funnier the show. --Gabi Knight

Lip-sync problem & seasons 5 & 6 region 2 DVD availability
Review date: 2008-09-08 Rating: 8 out of 10

To answer a couple of comments from earlier reviews. Seasons 4 & 5 (& 6 in November), Region 2, with English dialogue have been available in Germany for a while, and can be bought from Amazon.de

I have the German versions of 4 & 5, and yes there is a slight lip synching problem with Disc 3 of Saeson 4, but its not enough to spoil the few episodes it happens on. So maybe, the disc wasn't mastered correctly in the first place?

Anyway, its a great series, only 3 more UK series releases to go, and one more in Germany after Season 6 comes out in November.
