«Anchor Bay drops the ball yet again»
it's fun to revisit this adequate t. v. program again without advertisements and in order of air date . in addition to some of the other failings mentioned elsewhere of this Anchor Bay release , why does the "bay" still resist releasing titles without subtitles or closed captions ? film as well ? yeah , they really care about the viewers.....NOT . demand better releases . you're paying for them weather you rent these discs or purchase them .

«Thanks for the warning»
I did not buy season one because of others' warning about season one cutting episodes to fit syndication formats. Season two and three are great.

«One of the greatest TV sitcoms in history.»
Rosanne revolved around the trials and tribulations of a working-class family, living in middle America. Rosanne Arnold starred as the main character, Rosanne Connor. She and her husband Dan, were forever trying to manage, while holding-down marginal blue-collar jobs.
When Rosanne premiered, the TV landscape was littered with sitcoms starring Yuppie characters, such as Seinfeld, Friends, Murphy Brown, etc. It was so refreshing to finally see a comedy like Rosanne, that was about the average working-stiff. Many more Americans, could identify with the down-to-earth issues that the Connors faced, than with the glamorous lives of the characters in the Yuppie-sitcoms.
The considerable comic talents of the cast, were the main thing that made Rosanne such a brilliant sitcom. Rosanne Arnold is the most bombastically sarcastic comedienne, in the history of television. Female audiences were glad to finally see a sitcom matriarch, sound-off about her troubles in the gloriously uninhibited way that Rosanne did. John Goodman as Dan Connor, was the perfect foil for Rosanne's abrasive style of comedy. They were like a modern-day version of Ralph and Alice, in the Honeymooners. Only Rosanne was much more outspoken, than Alice ever was.
Rosanne will go down in history, as another one of the great classic sitcoms. Watching this show is a must, for those that like comedies that star sassy, sharply funny female characters.
