An extraordinary show that touched the hearts of many, "Roswell" was cut short after only three seasons. Jason Behr, Shiri Appleby, Katherine Heigl and the rest of the cast brought to life such wonderful, lovable characters. Every week, the show explored a double-edged sword of fantasy/reality as the series tugged at the hearts of it's loyal fans. Whether it was sending bottles of Tabasco sauce or any other method of showing support to the show, "Roswell" fans are truly devoted and it's a sad loss to see the show end after 3 short years. From the moment Max saved the life of Liz, to the day they were married, these two star-crossed lovers made it impossible for people not to love "Roswell." Don't miss out - get your copy of season one and live the magic that touched so many hearts.

At long last, one of the most original and gripping TV shows comes out on DVD! The suspense, drama, romance and human interest of season one will have you on the edge of your seat waiting for seasons two and three to make their DVD debut. Aliens Max, Isabel and Michael, imbued with human DNA and assimilated into Roswell's human society, desperately try to keep their real origin secret from the local sheriff, the government and the FBI---out of fear and necessity. Though alien, they're the "good guys" trying to merely survive in a world of cynical and threatening humans. Their narrow escapes and their desire to remain apart from and still interrelate with humans makes for very interesting viewing. "The White Room", a late first-season episode, ranks with some of the most suspenseful and action-filled plots in the history of television. This is one DVD set you won't see on the "used" block. Buy it---you will definitely want to keep it!

The beginning of a great series. The first set is a bit mushy for my tastes but it establishes the characters well. The romance between Max and Liz is mostly charming but becomes silly in some episodes, over emphasized in others. The supporting characters get to grow and develop throughout the series changing dynamic and tension - just like they are supposed to. The premise of four teen aliens in Roswell High is wonderfully camp and is carried off with both humour and seriousness. It's definately worth a look.

When the announcement was made that a DVD set of Roswell would be coming out with ALL THE DELETED SCENES, I pre-ordered the set. The promise of those deleted scenes is the only reason I bought the it. I was seriously disappointed when I got it and found that only 1 scene was included.

Yes, there are music changes and I can live with those not being a big music buff. But what would it have cost to include the scenes and gag reel we were promised????

If season 2 comes out, I won't pre-order it. I'll wait to find out if we were shafted again. I buy DVDs for the extras. If I only wanted to re-watch the shows... I could watch my VCR tapes.

I just purchased Season 1 of Roswell. I had never been able to watch the whole season until now. I live in Canada and never had the WB until the show was moved to UPN in the third season. I had to watch it on The Space Channel. They did have a Roswell marathon but having a small child I could not watch it everytime it was on. No matter I was hooked! Now I own the series and I have watched it twice now! I do not even notice the change in the music. In my order there was a note from Jason Katims explaining the change in music. He said it came down to changing the music or not releasing the DVD's. I think he deserves a pat on the back for going through with the release. He did a great job. I do not like change but if it means I can see Jason Behr and Shiri Appleby whenever I want then change is good! I highly recommend this set to anyone that every watched and enjoyed the show. It is too bad that it was only three seasons! Laura, Nova Scotia, Canada

I did not follow this series and decided to take a chance and bought the first and second seasons on DVD and I just finished viewing both seasons. It is pure magic... Romance... Romeo and Juliet of modern times. It is not often that you find a series that captivate you like Roswell. I recommend it to anyone that would love a mix of romance and sci-fi. It is very unique! I can't wait for the third season now, but at the same time it is sad that they only made three seasons.

I became fan instantly upon watching the first episode.The only show I have finished watching the whole season in less than a week. Once I started the pilot, I really don't want to stop.

Luckily I don't have much problem with the original songs since I did not really watched the originals. Dido provided a nice touch. But ofcourse I should agree that if they retained the songs it could have been more great but might make the price higher!

Now it's time for me to wait for the Second and third season.

I loved the show. I am not sure why the network decided to cancel it. I thought it had a huge following. When are the next two seasons coming out on DVD???

I do not watch TV. I do not like TV. I admire almost nothing on it, and bought this along with several other DVDs on a whim.

This show blew me away.

It's hilariously funny, heart-wrenchingly sad, it deals well, convincingly and in very real ways with relationships, love, intrigue and mystery, and makes fantastical events believable. It's hard to get me to laugh, and the character of Maria often had me laughing out loud. I even applauded -- literally -- halfway through Season One, when the characters let Alex in on their secret.

There's something for everybody here, and the performances don't hurt. Appleby is quite good, Behr is excellent (but he almost always is, and don't be fooled by his constantly downplaying his character). But interestingly, I found myself even liking Heigl's and Fehr's characters, with all their faults.

I recommend this show without reservation, and sincerely hope Seasons Two and Three are forthcoming on DVD.

Thanks for finally coming out on DVD. If you missed this great series on television, you now have a chance to see it on DVD. It offers something for everyone. Sharp writing, quick wit, tension and suspense, and great acting by cast members who really make their characters come to life. Now, if they will just get around to releasing the next two seasons.
