Roseanne: The Complete Series



Great price, terrible packaging
When I saw this item available I was very excited because I love Roseanne and when I considered buying this a few years ago the price was much higher.The packaging is terrible. There are 27 discs included and they are literally in a large stack in a very large DVD case, the plastic tabs that are meant to keep the stack in place do not work . There aren't any dividers or anything else that makes viewing the DVDs simple. The only option is to go through the entire stack Additionally, the shipping package was so thin that the corner of the DVD case was cracked and broken. I would buy this again for myself but definitely not as a gift.

Classic Roseanne, in an awful package
I've been waiting for the complete series of Roseanne to be in one package for quite some time, and it's finally here....sorta. If you love Roseanne it's worth $45 to get the entire series, just know that you'll hate the packaging. The DVDs are in cheap paper sleeves, stacked on top of each other. So if you want watch season 8, you can't flip through pages like normal series DVD collections. Instead you need to take out all the sleeves to find which one you want. I've added a picture to illustrate this nonsense. Since the packaging IS part of the product, I've given it 3 stars. The series itself is definitely a 5.

Missing some of the greatest shows...Replacement box arrived, same disc that was missing originally has strange qualities
I too, like many others on here have waited for a very long time to have the complete series available in one reasonably priced nice box set. However, this box set is horribly put together. You really do get what you pay for here. When it finally arrived, I went right to Season 9 because it had been a long time since I had last seen those episodes...a few days later, I went to watch Season 8 and found that I was missing Season 8, Disc 1, Episodes 1-9 and had instead received two Season 8, Disc 2 dvds. The missing disc contains some of the BEST episodes: "the old Becky" (Lecy) returns; Baby Jerry Garcia is born; DJ has his controversial Thanksgiving Day pageant; and Blues Traveler is in an episode. As a huge Roseanne fan this is, in my opinion, the worst disc that could be missing from the box set!!

All in all, if you want all episodes in one package for a low price and do not mind that the package is completely inconvenient to flip through, go for it. Just make sure...
