Beware! Edited versions of the show from syndication
Sep 4 2005
Format:DVD
As American reviews on Amazon.com were nice enough to point out before I purchased this DVD, this release contains not the original versions of the show, but those aired in syndication. The difference is that, while Canadian networks are usually nice enough to air original versions of shows, often American networks edit them down by a few minutes to be able to greedily make more money from more advertizing time. This is a huge disservice to fans of this great show. I read on www.tvshowsondvd.com about this same travesty occurring with The Cosby Show Season 1
I don't know about you, but I resent it when companies do this sort of thing. In order to force companies to reissue this season in a proper way, I'm going to do my part in not buying it. If there are enough of us, they'll be forced to make a financially-interested decision to do so. Maybe the real Rosanne Barr could help out, too!
Show is great, packaging isn't.
Feb 3 2012
Format:DVD
I docked 2 stars for the packaging. The 3 DVDs come in slips of paper, in a really weirdly designed thick DVD case that holds them. I've never seen packaging like it. With just 3 discs, I don't see why they didn't go with something else. Even a regular sized DVD case would have worked fine.
As you'd imagine, the paper slips you put the DVDs in aren't ideal. On my first time watching them they got scratched just taking them out of the paper slips. It's really disappointing.
The extras are nice, bloopers are always awesome in Sitcoms like this. I can't speak for whether or not this is or isn't the edited/unedited version since I was a baby when the show premiered so have no memory of the original. However, Season 1 is enjoyable as it is (edited or not). If it weren't for the packaging I'd have given this a 5 star rating.

Mill Creek To The Rescue
July 9 2011
Format:DVD
Carsey-Werner messed up big-time back in 2005 when they gave Anchor Bay cut prints to work with for "Roseanne"s debut season on DVD. I am very grateful to the wonderful people at Mill Creek for releasing such a reasonably-priced set with all the S1 episodes uncut as they originally aired on ABC. While this was one of the weaker seasons IMO due to the fact that Roseanne was still in "stand-up" mode and would crack a big grin right after delivering a punchline, Goodman, Metcalf and the kids are already running on all cylinders here. To boot, we get a young George Clooney as Booker, as well as a terrific season-finale where Roseanne in full Norma-Rae mode, leads a revolt against the system as she and her friends walk out on their dead-end factory jobs.
And while I was hoping for cover art featuring a S1 pic (Rosey with the long curly hair and sweatshirt with the sleeves pushed up), at least they used a S2 pic, which is better than the S4 pic Anchor Bay used on their original S1 set.
For a little over ten bucks, this set is well worth re-buying. The bonus features that appeared on the Anchor Bay set will also be included, which is good news for those who want to unload their old S1 sets on eBay or used video stores, etc.
The discs themselves are housed in black paper sleeves, like most budget-priced Mill Creek releases, in a black snapcase. It's not the greatest way to package them, but at this price one can't complain.
