Roseanne season 5 - 9/12 (1 Viewer)

[Jay_B!]

Looks like there will be some more commentaries here.

I am glad these keep coming out so fast, season 5 is my favorite season of the show (season 6 is a very close second)

 

[Demis G]

I am also glad they are hurrying up with these!

I hope the same thing for the GOLDEN GIRLS sets..

Extras don't look great though, although the commentaries sure do.

Have we lost all possible chances of anybody else in the cast participating now?

There is a Halloween single disk coming this year. Has anyone heard if the Season 1 Halloween show will be uncut? As most know the complete Season 1 DVD contained the syndicated cut of the shows

 

[Jay_B!]

the first Halloween episode for Roseanne was "Boo!" in season 2. Each successive season had a Halloween episode as well, but there wasn't one for season one. Sorry :frowning:

 

[Garysb]

Oh I had heard that George Clooney was in the first Halloween episode and I thought he was only on the show during first season . My error.

 

[RoryR]

George Clooney guest starred in the Season 4 Halloween show

The halloween disc has a "bonus CD" which could be interesting...http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com/dvd.cfm?itemID=ABD014145
and in 5.1....?!?!?!
$8.99 to have all the Halloween eps. together. not bad.

 

[RoryR]

Mine shipped today from Deep Discount.
Hopefully the reviews will reveal that bonus disc.

 

[Dave Mack]

Cool! Let us know!
And if it's indeed 5.1, which would be weird.

 

[Dave Mack]

Anyone get the Halloween disc yet?

 

[RoryR]

No, I'm in the UK so it won't be until next week - probably after the release date.

 

[Dave Mack]

Well I was hoping the halloween disc would be listed in either today's CC or BB ad but no luck. I think DDD is the only place listing this "bonus CD"...

:frowning:

 

[Dave Mack]

Ok, just found a review...

Dolby 2.0 (which DOES make sense..) and no bonus CD mentioned. Unless it's a DDD exclusive but very doubtful.

 

[RoryR]

Just got it from DDD, no bonus CD and just 2.0

 

[Dave Mack]

That's what I expected. They should change their specs then...

Has anyone else noticed that the "audio commentary" listed on the back cover of the Halloween DVD is actually just the same video commentary that they used for the "Season 4" set? I suppose I could be missing some menu or option for an audio commentary, but I can't find anything. Part of the reason I got the DVD was for a "new" commentary. The commentary isn't listed as new or exclusive, but since it stated "audio commentary", I figured it had to be new since no previous DVD release had an audio commentary.

Oh well, not a huge loss on the commentary. While I bought the "Season 4" set on release date, I only fairly recently got around to watching the video commentaries from Roseanne, and I wasn't that impressed. She seemed kind of disgruntled about certain things and for some reason couldn't remember the name of a lot of the actors, even those with relatively long-running recurring roles. She also repeated herself several times, making the same exact comment more than once in a row. A bit strange.

So there will be new commentaries on the Season 5 set??

I actually just saw the 2 video commentaries for Season 4 today, and I LOVED them. I thought she said a lot of interesting things, even if she couldn't remember the names of some people. I hope she does a lot of commentaries for Season 9, because I wanna know what she was thinking during that season...

Anyways, has anyone else noticed that the Roseanne sets were always advertised for seasons 1-3, and then for Season 4 and for Season 5, they aren't advertised anywhere??

 

[Demis G]

Maybe they (the dvds) no longer need a "push" with ads.. maybe the studio is completely satisfied with sales of Roseanne on dvd and doesnt want to spend more money on ads..

 

[Jay_B!]

I haven't watched it on N@N in awhile considering how quickly the DVD's are coming out. Do they show advertisements for the sets on there?

I guess a season like 5 isn't getting a lot of commercials because it's generally regarded as the show at it's best (or at least near the best) and they know the quality speaks for itself and the fans will buy it anyways. I wonder if you'll see more ads in time for season 7, which is generally regarded as the season the show fell from grace.
