Of all the TV shows in recent years to deserve a season DVD release, Roseanne tops my list of personal favorites. Not only is Roseanne Barr iconic for the 80's, but her TV show chronicling the white collar antics of the Conner family and their friends earned a place in many an american living room. Set in Lanford Illinois, Roseanne became a show many of us could identify with. Her brash reality is something that the TV mothers of the 50's, 60's and 70's were never truly allowed to be shown on network TV and was much closer to the lives of middle America than the June Cleavers of the world. For me, I think Roseanne is one of the bravest and most well written of the 80's sitcoms, tackling topics that were taboo until Roseanne dealt with them. Spousal abuse, alcoholism, homosexuality, sexual harrassment in the workplace are just a few of the topics that earned network respect among the shows peers. Definately worth a second look and always guaranteed a laugh - I recommend this DVD set whole heartedly. I actually took mine to a performance that Roseanne Barr was giving, and she graciously signed it for me! Check it out - season two is due to be released in December of 2005. Read more

You can say whatever you want to about Roseanne. Yes, she is bawdy. Yes, she used the tabloids to the hilt. Yes, she has said and done some strange things. But her sitcom is one of the best ever, and I am a HUGE sitcom fan. _Roseanne_ broached subjects in the 1980s that, while fairly common today, were ground-breaking. Masturbation, abortion, teenage birth control, homosexuality, and even her own life were explored in a highly humorous yet thought-provoking way. The first Lesbian kiss on TV was on _Roseanne_. While everyone else watched thirtysomething and went into massive debt trying to live up to that image, _Roseanne_ presented a lifestyle most of us can afford and identify with. Roseanne deserves her spot as an American icon for this series alone, if nothing else. This is a sitcom not to be missed, and I'm so glad Amazon sells it as streaming video. I will always have it to enjoy again and again. (Of course, it helps that I think David & Darlene are the best couple ever. The end of the episode in which their baby is born always makes me cry with joy, and I've seen it at least a dozen times. "We are not bodies with souls; we are souls with bodies." Amen, Rosie. Thanks for saying it and demonstrating the miracle of knowing it.) Read more

What can I say about Roseanne and this show that hasn't already been said. It was groundbreaking for its time but still endures today. Roseanne and her family often had a lot of troubles and bad times just like anyone else at the time but even through it all they loved one another and were there for each other when it really counted. I would have to easily count this among one of my favorite shows all time and am looking forward to getting more of the seasons. While I wouldn't necessarily recommend younger kids watch the show because of some of the language and what not but I think it would be OK for PG13 and up. It could even be used with some kids as a springboard to discuss family issues, "growing up" topics, and even things such as depression. I recommend that you find it on TV check it out and then buy the seasons because you wont want to miss an episode and they tend to play certain episodes more than others on TV.
