Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Nice packaging, good content
First off, the packaging: the DVDs are set up to get out of the way and let you watch the episodes, which is great. They're not really fancy, but one of the things that annoys me is when you have to wade through previews, or several layers of menus, just to watch the episodes. It'd be nice to have a "Play All" option, but not necessary.
As for the content of this season, I was surprised to see how well the show held up. I remembered liking the show, and after buying the first season as a trial, I liked it enough to get the second and third. The characters develop well and storylines carry over from one episode to another. The writing was particularly sharp at this point in the run, with great interplay between the characters and a lot of real-life issues for the family to deal with. It's still very much a sitcom, where problems get resolved within half an hour, but at least the resolutions feel plausible, often stretched in the framework of the show to cover several days of time. The hook of this show was always the gritty realism, and that holds up over time.
Rating:  - Roseanne Rocks
Roseanne was one of the funniest and best sitcoms on TV. The third season is funny and reminds everyone of their own family growing up.
Rating: - And the best sitcom in TV history is....
Ahh Roseanne, quite easily the greatest sitcom in TV history (sorry Seinfeld [overrated and repetitive] and move over MASH). For a great many Americans, Roseanne was the ONLY sitcom depicting house life that even remotely approached ringing true. My wife and I are both such big fans that we periodically watch the show from beginning to end (yes, all the episodes), something made easy by the fact that we never watch TV, only DVDs (greater freedom, no commercials). As I do in many of my reviews I will try to offer a few observations that other reviews haven't already made.
The show was serendipitously blessed by its cast, the best any sitcom has ever enjoyed. The comic timing between Roseanne and John Goodman was not only flawless, but their chemistry rang so true that they really did seem like they were married. The show was lucky to cast both Goodman and Metcalf, two actors whose performances really raised the entire show up another level.
The show starts off wonderfully, portraying a blue-collar family that not only seems real, but is real funny (and that says a lot--most sitcoms are not actually all that funny, and, believe it or not, studies show that people are not actually laughing at the jokes [which suck] but because they hear the sound of other people laughing). This in-and-of-itself had a lot to do with the show's immediate appeal: finally here was a family most Americans could actually relate to. Forget the Cosby family (the No. 1 show at the time). ...

Rating: - A six star season, but the DVD set itself could have been better
Season three of Roseanne doesn't revolve around any particular overriding story arc, but the kids are definitely beginning to grow up. As in almost every season, there are quite a few changes taking place in all of the characters' lives, but the show's greatness mainly lies in the "real life" way that each situation is handled and in the raw emotions and interactions of the characters, not in the situations themselves.
"The Test" is a great season opener as Roseanne and her family wait for the outcome of her home pregnancy test. There are some precious moments, such as when DJ asks if he was an accident, and Roseanne tells him that he was a surprise, the difference being that "an accident is something that you wouldn't do over again if you had the chance, but a surprise is something you didn't even know you wanted until you got it." The girls show their selfish side, trying to make a case for not having the baby even before the test is complete. Becky goes as far as asking her mother "Don't you want me to go to college?".
The audience gets their first look at the late Glenn Quinn as rebel and smart-mouth Mark Healey in "Becky, Beds, and Boys". Mark doesn't even pretend to care what the Conners think when he shows up in a bar, obviously under-aged and the Conners see him there. His answer to their question of how he got in there when he is only 18 is that he has a piece of paper that says he is 21. Becky's concerned parents forbid her to see Mark anymore, but she keeps coming ... Read More
Rating: - I loved it.
I loved watching this when I was younger and my daughter loves it now. I actually bought this because she wanted it for her 10th birthday.
