Knowing that her hugely popular sitcom Roseanne was unlikely to return for a tenth season, diva/matriarch/force of nature Roseanne decided to break the mold. The show had always reflected the events of her actual life as a blue-collar housewife; why shouldn't it also explore her current life as a wealthy celebrity? So in the ninth season, the Conner family wins the lottery, and Roseanne takes a strange turn: Roseanne's sister Jackie (Laurie Metcalf) dates a prince; Roseanne buys the plastics factory where she'd worked in the show's first season; Roseanne's mother Bev (Estelle Parsons) comes out at Thanksgiving; the show becomes rife with celebrity guest stars and fantasy sequences parodying Evita and Rosemary's Baby; and Roseanne turns her anger on targets like supermarket tabloids and television executives. These wild, satirical storylines mesh poorly with the show's largely realistic history, even though the cast works hard to keep the show grounded in genuine emotion. But interwoven with these flights of fancy and self-indulgence are stories that would have fit in any season: Roseanne's husband Dan (John Goodman) has an affair that threatens their marriage; her daughter Darlene (Sara Gilbert) has a troubled pregancy; and her son D.J (Michael Fishman) worries about how fast things should progress with his new girlfriend. Even the most out-of-control episodes feature glorious bursts of Roseanne's bilious humor and the rich character performances that made this show a television classic. This season's most valuable player is unquestionably Metcalf, who could push Jackie to the brink of hysteria or sober remorse without hitting a false note. Roseanne - The Complete 9th Season features interviews with Roseanne that may put some of the show's wackier excesses into perspective for her more resistant fans. This season may not have been the ideal end to a great sitcom, but it's unquestionably going out with a bang. --Bret Fetzer

Rating:  - Roseanne: The Complete Ninth Season
The DVD set was great. I enjoyed it very much. It got here in record time. I now have all the episodes and will enjoy them over and over.
Thank you,

Rating:  - What a mess!
So disappointed in the final season of Roseanne. The normalcy and everyday life element was lost to explore fantasy in the head of Roseanne Barr. The only highlight was the explanation given in the final episode that was sad a realistic in its attempt to show how Roseanne Conner was dealing with her grief through her imaginative writing. This to me was not an ending but a beginning for Roseanne Conner and her family and salvaged the last season for me in the midst of the ballyhoo of horrible writing and proposterous situations.
Rating: - Ridculous.
Roseanne - The Complete Ninth Season is absolutely awful. This was the last season and thank god for that! Every episode is campy, strange, and unfunny. I loved Roseanne seasons 1-7 (season 8 wasn't that hot either) she really had a groundbreaking show, don't buy this season, you'll thank me later.
Rating: - My favoriate season
I hated that this was Roseanne's final season but I really liked it as it allowed Roseanne to really express herself. The final 2 part ending my favoriate of all. When Roseanne reflects on the past and we realize Dan really died. I found it to be very powerful!! But I am a Roseanne fan and she has never made anything bad!!! I have every season and like this one the best.
Rating: - MY FAVORITE YEAR...
After eight seasons of finding humor while coping with life's harsh realities, Roseanne shattered the formula and did what no similar sitcom dared, not the Honeymooners, Good Times, nor All in the Family. It dared change the economic class of its protagonist to the lofty status of multi-millionaire. And I loved every episode. Only recently, a bankrupt trailer park couple won over a quarter of a billion dollars in a mega multi-state lottery, so why not the Connors? Fantastic perhaps, but wildly entertaining. Don't we often watch TV just to be entertained? All you '2 stars' critics out there in Cyberland...LIGHTEN UP. And don't Roseanne look great after all the nips and tucks? High Society Roseanne and Jackie make nine my favorite season.
