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: - Same Ol' Roseanne
Roseanne is still funny after all theses years especially how they joked about Sarah Chalke replacing Becky for this season...Good Season!
Rating: - Think About Buying This For Sure Perhaps!!
When it comes to over-weight female comics making eponymous sitcoms in the mid-eighties to nineties, none did it better than Roseanne. Whether it was under either her Barr or Arnold surname, Roseanne produced intelligent and hilarious comedy with an outstanding cast of supporting actors and some of the most hard-hitting and innovative scripts of the era; scripts that made you laugh without insulting your intelligence.
I loved Roseanne then, and it's even better now, a little older, a little wiser, and a little more jaded by subsequent failed attempts to repeat the Roseanne phenomenon with lesser female comics of varying sizes.
This DVD is so funny that I can write this review in full knowledge of its brilliance despite the fact that I haven't quite found the time to watch it yet. I know that I will soon, just like I did with the previous five seasons.
John Goodman is also brilliant in this. So brilliant that sometimes I wished that they had called it "Dan" instead of "Roseanne"; or at least "RoseDan" in an effort to acknowledge his stellar efforts.
Laurie Metcalf steals every show, but despite this I don't feel that they should ever have considered calling it "Jackie", because the "RoseJackie" compromise doesn't quite have the same aesthetic effect.
Either way, I would have loved a spin-off along the lines of "My Two Dads" where the two different actors who played Becky over the years could meet up, live together, and maybe date Paul Reiser and Greg Evigan?
Rating: - A great series just got better!
Like a good wine The Roseanne sitcom continues to get better with season six. Highlights are the first episode where Roseanne packs Darlene off to College in "Too Down One To Go" and "A Stash From The Past" where Rosanne and Dan begin reminiscing about their days as teenagers after they discover a stash of Marijuna in the house. Sarah Chalke makes her first appearance as Becky in "Homecoming" and regular guest artist Shelly Winters makes a hilarious appearance in "Thanksgiving 93" Long before Ellen, Roseanne was already causing controversy and provoking open discussions about sexuality with the episode "Don't Ask Don't Tell" where Roseanne and Jackie visit a gay bar and Roseanne receives a kiss on the lips from Guest star Mariel Hemingway. In one of the most heartfelt episodes "The Drivers Seat" Roseanne has to cope with her actions after she hits DJ.
This is a must have for any fan of Roseanne, sadly this series does not feature any extra's but it includes all 25 UNCUT episodes and is one of the funniest seasons with regular cast members returning John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Sarah Gilbert and Sandra Bernhard. Roseanne season six, feels as fresh and new as when it first aired on TV and is a great way to reaquaint yourself with a truly beloved show that was one of the most successful Television sitcom's of the 80's and 90's.
Rating:  - Not bad, but they should've stopped here
Well here it is - the beginning of Roseanne's downfall. Season five started the change of direction when Lecy Goranson hit the road. Season six was the big shift in direction for the show that worsened with each following season, before it finally completely hit bottom in its final year.
This 1993-94 season shows some life left in Roseanne. Jackie's pregnancy, DJ's adolescence, Roseanne and the gay bar, the whole David/Darlene cohabitation arc -- all these were good, as were several other episodes. But so much was beginning to go wrong. Roseanne was becoming too egomaniacal, blurring the lines between rich star Roseanne Barr and working class character Roseanne Conner...and her post-surgery look was just odd. Bev become more prominent and more annoying. The storylines were gearing into the dramatic a little too often. And the biggest punch in the gut was the addition of the just plain awful Sarah Chalke as Becky. Goranson played brainy Becky with a bitchy flare. Chalke stepped in and suddenly Becky was a gawky bimbo. (Chalke turned out fine in Scrubs, but was totally miscast and I'm guessing inexperienced at this time.)
I'm giving this season three stars because of its good parts. Seasons seven and eight both probably rate a 2 and season nine a a great big 1. Such a shame because the first half of this series was absolutely wonderful. It was great to see Goranson back for a portion of season eight, but even she had the good sense to abandon ship soon after her ... Read More
