TUltimateDisney.com is a fan website that is known for their good contacts at Disney/Buena Vista, bringing solid information to the public about the studio's future DVD plans, among other things.
This morning they have broken the story with
their exclusive news about BV's holiday TV-on-DVD plans, which include (finally!) some word about
The Golden Girls:
...making its DVD debut on November 30 is "The Golden Girls," a popular comedy about four older women living together in Miami. This half-hour sitcom connected with many viewers in its seven-season run. The First Season (1985-86) contained 24 episodes.
Dorothy (Bea Arthur) looks for love, and finds her mother Sophia (Estelle Getty) moving in with her. Sharing the house are the promiscuous Blanche (Rue McClanahan) and the principled Rose (Betty White). In the first season, the ladies get a wide array of visitors, including Blanche's sister, niece, and grandson, plus Dorothy's loathed ex-husband. The set will include some of the show's most memorable episodes such Sophia's heart attack, Rose's lifeless bedfellow, and the girls' full-on security response to a break-in.
The story is just breaking today, and please be aware that we haven't confirmed this with the studio itself yet. But UltimateDisney has proven highly reliable in the past, and we really don't doubt their word on this at all. Stay tuned, and we'll bring you more details as they become available. Our thanks to Paul Hillsdon for the tip!
