COMPLETE COLLECTION 

 

Take the Gals Home on DVD November 9, 2010  

BURBANK, CA, September 2010 –  Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment proudly announces the 

highly-anticipated debut of The Golden Girls: 25th Anniversary Complete Collection, on DVD 

November 9.  Seven years of laughter, tears, friendship and fun culminate in this limited edition 21-disc 

commemorative set that allows fans to relive all the great moments of one of TV’s most beloved shows 

in one side-splitting new collection. Packaged in a fantastic, collectible replica of Golden Girl Sophia’s 

wicker purse, the fabulous new release includes every hilarious DVD bonus feature from each season, 

and other collectibles including all-new character-themed playing cards, showcasing each of the show’s 

lovable, off-beat stars.

 

The Golden Girls, which originally aired from 1985 through 1992, follows four friends – the smart 

Dorothy (Beatrice Arthur), naïve Rose (Betty White), vivacious Blanche (Rue McClanahan) and 

sarcastic Sophia (Estelle Getty) – who move in together in Miami. Their uproarious relationships with 

each other and the comical men in their lives have made The Golden Girls hugely popular with fans of 

all ages. These four mismatched, outrageous women certainly give ‘Grandma’ a whole new meaning, 

keeping audiences laughing with their endearing friendships and delightful chemistry.  

 

Releasing just in time for the holidays, The Golden Girls: 25th Anniversary Complete Collection 

allows the legion of fans to relive great moments including Sophia’s hysterical run-in with the Pope; 

Dorothy being wooed by the one-and-only Sonny Bono; Rose trying out sky-diving to snag a guy; 

Blanche mistaking menopause for pregnancy, and so much more!  The series includes a who’s who of 

fantastic guest stars including Burt Reynolds, Leslie Nielsen, Merv Griffin, Alex Trebek Sonny Bono, 

Debbie Reynolds, Jeffrey Tambor, Peter Graves and even a young George Clooney (as a Miami cop 

who saves the day)!  

All four women won Emmy® Awards for their roles – bringing the show’s Emmy® total to eleven.  This 

made The Golden Girls one of only three sitcoms in history in which all main actors won at least one 

Emmy®.  Betty White – who has become cultural phenomenon this year – went on to win another 

Emmy® for hosting Saturday Night Live in 2010. The beloved series features the talents of Marc Cherry 

(creator of Desperate Housewives), who served as a writer and producer.
