Summary: Can we get the other seasons too?
Review: I have been waiting for this DVD set for ages! On behalf of all American Roswell fans, I can say that when we found out some time ago that the DVD's were being released in the UK, but not in the US, we were all devastated. But when we found out that we would be getting a release as well....shall I say that the response was overwhelming.

I am just hoping that we can provide enough of a monetary response that the "powers that be" will release the other two seasons.

We are highly dedicated fans, like others for many other series, and will do our best to make producers realize that there is a secondary market for our favorite series. I am just hoping that they will listen.

Summary: WOOHOOOOO!!!!!
Review: After all the years spent sharing our excitement about this show on posting boards... all the hours reading and writing a bazillion silly fanfics... after dreaming and hoping and working to keep the show alive when it seemed all hope was lost... many fans even going so far as to gather at self-organized conventions across the country so that we could obsess about it en masse... ROSWELL definitely got under our skin and into our hearts :)...

Hope you all enjoy slipping this little bit of magic into your DVD players. If you're new to it, I very much envy you. You're in for a huge treat. I know that when I'm through viewing those 6 disks I'm going to be PINING bigtime for the next batch. Season Two was a whole 'nother thing, but equally startling. I can't wait :)!

And I've got to say.. any DVD that has already generated 73 reviews (even before it's been released?!?) says something powerful about how the characters effected us :). Many blessings to everyone involved for having created such an amazing and entangling story.

Dido's theme is the siren's song of ROSWELL, and I will be jumping around on my sofa the night I can finally sit down and crash into my pristine new copy of all these fabulous first season episodes... YAY!!!

Summary: Never again will a show be as captivating as this one.
Review: I write this with the all the sincerity I can muster. This show is unbelievable. I watched the first time it came out on the WB and when it was moved to another channel (at the end of the second season) that does no reach Puerto Rico i was heart broken. You will never see another show that can rival this one in emotion, complexity, action, drama, comedy, romance... absolutely anything. If you really think about it: the show is about three alien teens and their friends here on earth that know their secret and how they fight for their lives. To keep a show like this one real and believable you NEED the writer, director, actors... EVRYTHING to be absolutely amazing, which it is. I cried and laughed and got really depressed, I mean how can you watch Jason Behr (Max Evans: the reaaly good looking guy on the cover) and not get depressed because one: you can't have him, Two: you can't be him (if your a guy)and three because everytime his face falls and is wheighed with emotion you want to make the world a better Alien Accepting place. ITS AMAZING, please buy it, you won't be dissapointed and i really want the next two seasons!!!! Do it for humanity!

Summary: BEST LOVE STORY / SCI - FI EVER!!!!!
Review: Again this is the most enrapturing love story I have ever seen on TV. And they're only teenagers!!!! And to top it all off they have more than the normal insecurities to deal with. . . they literally have to hide who and what they are. That's a lot to handle and I thought this show pulled it off with flying colors.

Granted the 1st season was the best of the 3. I didn't not like season 2 but I did feel as though it was a little less thought out. And season 3 just rushed us to the end (nice last episode though). Liz and Max showed us that love involved loyalty, doing things for someone you cared about and holding on to each other as you leap into the unknown. They made it a point to say it wasn't all about Sex. Something teenagers who watch the show should definitely see. The actors were superb and the writing in the beginning gave this show characters that were believable and engrossing.

The sci-fi part wasn't all encompasing but there was enough to the plot that you knew the special effects would have to escalate even though the 3 aliens really wanted to just fit in.

I completely feel in love with this show and I am awfully sorry that it has been taken off the air. Though if they ever decide to continue the story they'll need some really good actors (or bring back the old ones) because the chemistry was real and powerful. And there is a lot rogue adults can do that teenagers tied to the apron strings can not.

Thanks to crashdown.com and those who logged in for trying very hard to keep this show alive!

Summary: i love this show
Review: in all honesty, it was by chance that i saw the rerun of this pilot. and since that time, i have been hooked. season 1 is the best season of the 3. you deal with not only alien hybrids but the figurative aspect of being alienated, as many high schoolers have felt in their own lifetime. that milestone of your first crush/love and the akwardness these teens feel along with the ongoing looking over your shoulder, roswell has got it all.

you may relate to the angsty love between max and liz, or relate to liz's zany friend, maria. or the silent but ever reliable alex. or you could be the jock, kyle. then there's the loner, michael and the teen queen isabel. these characters such you in.

i can't wait to get this on dvd. i've been taping all the seasons on vhs. and now it's finally on dvd!! yeah!!!

hey... it's the reason i got tivo to begin with.

Summary: Disappointed in the extras, but the DVD's still pure Roswell
Review: I received a review copy of this DVD. All of the extras that they promise are not actually on the DVD. There is one deleted scene and six episodes with commentary, but there are only two featurettes and one audition tape for Emilie de Ravin. No outtakes or anything like that.

The only other real disappointment was the change in some of the songs within the episodes. 'Heatwave' doesn't seem the same without Santana pounding out 'Put Your Lights On' during Michael and Maria's first heavy make-out scene. And while the 'new cutting-edge song' that the Roswell music team found for that scene at the window in 'Independence Day' was an appropriate song, I kept hearing 'Run' in my head while Michael stood outside in the rain.

In spite of all this, the DVD set still exemplifies why season 1 was the best season of Roswell. Even though some of the songs have changed, the picture is crystal clear - a lot better than most of my tapes are right now. And the commentaries offer a lot of insight into behind the scenes on the Roswell set. Listen to Shiri and Majandra comment on Sexual Healing and Crazy. Those are probably the best two.

If you're a fan, buy this set. If you're not a fan, buy this set and realize why so many people fought so hard to save Roswell two seasons in a row. While the extras aren't everything that was promised, the DVD itself brings back enough memories to make it worth it.

Summary: WOO HOO FOR ROSWELL DVD!
Review: Roswell is my favorite show of all time. It's the perfect blend of drama, humor, suspense, romance, and science fiction. The characters are realistic and interesting, and the writing is creative and intelligent. Too many people put it off as a stupid sci-fi show or a stupid wb teen drama. But the audience really gets into the lives of the characters, the sweet relationships and exciting adventures, so it's an easy show to get addicted to, just give it a chance! The only thing that could be better then this dvd is a season two dvd, which i think is the best season. Hopefully that will come soon! If I can get a dvd of season 2, I can die happy!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The best of the three seasons
Review: Some people say watch the first episode and forget the rest but I'd give Roswell a litle more credit than that. The first episode where Liz Parker discovers that there really are Aliens in Roswell was one of the better episodes but I found myself liking many of the episodes at least for their creativity. Isn't first season the one in which one of the guardian aliens teaches his young protoge that he can get through the government ID scanner by changing his finger prints? ( the scanner was designed to detect a shapeshifter like the guardian by detecting their lack of a skeleton which humans and the young aliens all have).
I thought at first that the end of season episodes introducing a fourth alien, "Tess", were in fact from second season (I first saw them on the SciFi channel) but learned otherwise. This is an example, these episodes took the show off on a new angle, of the increasing sloppiness that The WB and then UPN took with the series. The first season is by far the best of them, you should find something to enjoy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Roswell- a show loved by some many
Review: Roswell is a great show, and the DVD, its finally here!, I can't wait. its one of the best show ever shown on TV. It has something for everybody, young and old. The story of Liz and Max's love is timeless. And Michael and Maria's relationship, well you can never get bored with those two. Long Live Roswell!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sci-fi Guy
Review: I am a big fan of the x-files, so when I had heard that there was another science fiction alien tv series out I decided to watch the WB. It was awesome and I dare say it rivaled the x-files. My birthday is in Feb. and I think this is the best present ever. I had read the books before the show and even bought the books again when the show came out just to have the two different covers.
Hooray!!!
