Summary: Roswell DVD
Review: I am a fan of Roswell. I love the fact that Fox is releasing the DVD. However, a lot of the original songs are replaced by wannabe bands. Music is so important to a specific scene. I know that they have said that the changes had to be made because of money constraints, but please...what about other DVD series, such as Dawson's Creek and Smallville. I hope that the songs for the next two seasons are the original songs. Or a re-release is done. And what's up with every DVD being widescreen. I like having options. Dunno, other than that I love the DVD.

Review: This is the best show ever. It was imaginative and always unpredictable, not like the boring crap they put on tv today and call groundbreaking. I miss it so much. Jason Katims is an excellent writer.

Summary: The Set's Features and Music
Review: I actually went to Wal-Mart at midnight on its release date to officialy be 'first in line' to get my copy.The transfer is incredible! The widescreen format gives the series a cinematic feel, something that "Roswell" definitley benefits from. If you have the 5.1 Surround Sound set-up, and even if you don't, the audio is fantastic. I couldn't believe how active the rear speakers were throughout. I read in one review, that if you are a true Roswell fan, you would reconsider purchasing the set due to the music alterations. I STRESS EVER SO IMPORTANTLY THAT YOU BUY THIS, anyhow. It really is spectacular, aside from the widescreen format (which was worth the purchase, in muy opinion) we get SIX very very well done commentaries that are both fun and informative. The two featurettes are amazing and made me feel appriciated for being a Roswell fan. In short, this box set is everything I could of hoped for... The new music is distracting. But it won't be to newer fans or even those who have only seen the episodes a few times. (I myself have probably viewed them all at least 30 times each). I skimmed through a few episodes as soon as I bought the set, and was compltley dissapointed by the music selections. A lot of the great songs that gave "Roswell" that exhilerating, magical tone have been omitted. Most of the time, these are replaced with other songs, and a lot of them are not half bad. But there are a few instances that even moreso irritated me...instances where the song was entirley taken out and replaced with only the instrumental score. This makes the editing seem somewhat sloppy and some of the delivered dialouge sound corny. In short, I for one will be holding onto my tapes. But if you ARE a Roswell fan you will purchase the set despite the changes. There are MANY MANY great and wonderful things included in the DVDs, well worth the price. The good certainly outweighs the past, and BTW, if you pay attn to the back of the cover or even the label on the front, it declares, "New Music Selected by The Original Roswell Music Team"...there is also a nice note from Jason Katims (which is sort of B.S.) explaining the music changes. GREAT SET! WONDERFUL SHOW! Don't hesitate!

Review: each case for each dvd has a beautiful picture of a cast member, the behind-the-scenes are interesting, etc, etc... the only letdown is that alot of the original soundtrack was lost, because of the reproduction cost... kinda sad. but the replacement music is fine. overall, the set is *GREAT* and i can't wait for season 2!

Summary: A great deal!
Review: I had only watched a few episodes of this show when it aired. I liked what I saw, but since I hadn't seen it from the beginning it lost a little of it's clarity. I decided to buy Season 1 so I could watch it from the beginning. It was a very good decision. The quality of the DVDs is excellent. There are extras (such as commentary by some of the cast, producers, etc. and deleted scenes for some episodes). The fact that there is a scene selection for each episode is also very handy. Some of the original music IS changed, but not having watched the original episodes I haven't noticed a huge difference. Dido still sings the main theme and a few other songs in other key moments are still in place. The discs are in slim cases and are very attractive.
A definite must for anyone who likes the show or someone like me who saw a few episodes in the past and wanted to get the whole story.
I'll definitely buy the Season 2 set, which, according to some information provided in the set, will be released this summer.

Summary: I'm heartbroken
Review: I loved Roswell and still do. Whenever the episodes come out on the SciFi channel, I make sure to record them and watch all of them. I put in my order for the first season on DVD months ago and received it in the mail today, and all I can say is that I'm heartbroken at what I received. Someone has already mentioned this, but what the producers had to do because of high copyright costs is replace a lot of (probably most, I'm guessing) the original music from the show with other music. I immediately popped in a disk that had on it the episode with one of my favorite moments from the series on it - the ending of "Missing" when Max, Michael, and Isabel find the dome from Michael's vision in the book and Counting Crows "Colorblind" begins to play in the background - and I started to cry - they had replaced "Colorblind" with something else. It changed the whole vibe, feel and mood to the whole scene!! I didn't think I would have such an emotional reaction, but it broke my heart. I now own the first season of a show I truly loved and parts from the show that I loved BECAUSE OF the music ARE NOT as they were when I fell in love with them. I can't believe I bought a season of a television show on DVD and it is not in it's original form. I feel cheated because I didn't know this before I made the purchase. If I had known, I probably wouldn't have. I can't believe I won't be able to re-live one of my favorite shows as it existed in it's original form. I'm afraid to watch the rest for fear that I will continue to have my heart broken. To anyone who has yet to purchase the DVD set - if Roswell is as near and dear to your heart as it is to mine, I might re-think purchasing this set.

Summary: This show rocked!!
Review: I miss this show very much and I'm glad they decided to sell the DVD's, because I was wearing out my videotapes! The one thing that I didn't like was that they changed the music from the original episode airings, and the original stuff was better. But if you never watched this show, give it a chance. It was a great show; it had creepy aliens, mushy romance, and constant action every week. Add this set to your collection, you won't regret it.

Summary: A brilliant show that only gets better
Review: Roswell went through a lot of turmoil in its short life. Relaunched. Almost cancelled. Cancelled. Moved network. Cancelled again. But it achieved more in its three seasons than many shows do in twice that time. Season one is reasonably sappy, but still enjoyable for the most part. Probably the highlight of the first season is the recurring guest spot for Julie Benz (aka Darla from Buffy). But the show really comes into its own towards the end of season one, when the show was relaunched. At this point it took a distinctly sci-fi twist and became a compelling drama. It went from watchable, to unmissable in just one episode. In particular, I'd compare this show to Buffy. If you're a Buffy fan I'd highly recommend Roswell, as it mixes the same elements of a young cast and brilliant -- and sometimes shocking -- drama. If you watched Roswell but gave up in season one, I definitely suggest getting the DVDs and giving them another go. The relaunch changes everything, and takes the show into a totally new level. So even if you decided Roswell wasn't for you, take another look.

Summary: Awesome!
Review: They did a superb job of this dvd. I admit that I'm a fanatic of this series, but it was wonderful. The special features were a nice touch. Shiri Appleby and Majandra Delfino were hilarious in their commentary, and just added a great feeling to the DVD. The story line of Roswell is so fantastic of these teenager aliens trying to fit in highschool and the trials they face. I believe this was one of the best teenage dramas, and encourage fans to fork over the money to buy it!
