Summary: The roswell journal's
Review: I caught on to the Roswell jitters a couple of years after its release, being that I was naïve I only heard of it before but not until...The encapsulating show was a defining moment for television I was simply enthralled by the legitimate performances that this young actors and actresses were giving. After morphing into a fanatic I waited every week for the next episode and the ones after that. Liz, Max, Isabelle, Michael and Maria were spell binding, their were world was ultimately cool it was the place to be. After the show was yanked off, I only waited in complete and utter patience for the time when the DVD will be released. For some Roswell may be a shallow excuse for a television program mainly because it involves aliens, but just for once look into the characters and their predicaments, they can never be as real as they were portrayed on Roswell there are no words to describe the release of this awesome show on DVD.

Summary: If I could give it a better rating I would
Review: I wrote a previous review earlier, but I did not watch all 6 disks yet so now that I'm done and re-watching, I think I can give a better review of the DVD for those unsure of buying. Roswell is a great show, esp the first season, I watched on TV before but I forgot so many things. Watching season 1 on DVD was like for the first time, although I remember some things from season 2 n 3, I basically don't know what happens. Pros
- All 22 episodes, commercial free (warning you will be tempted to keep watching, it happened to me and I finished all 22 eps in one weekend, needless to say I was very tired when I went back to work) , great sound, great picture quality.
- Packaging is wonderful, 6 disks with their own packet with beautiful art work from the show
- Scene selections! How great is that on a television show. Normally, scene selections are mainly found in movies.
- Commentaries, although I've only watched the first 3, they were all pretty good and filled with tons of fun filled tidbits.
- Area 51 and Roswell high featurettes are also great with information and fun facts. I like to hear the director/writers, etc have to say on their work and how they see it. Cons or really just some quirks of mine
- There were supposed to be more bonus material, like a gag reel. None found on DVD
- Only 1 deleted scene !
- Audition of Tess only, the character I hate the most, hehe. I would've liked to see the auditions of everyone else.
- I would've liked to see more interviews with the actors who played, Max, Isabel, and Michael.
- Music video? What's the point, give me the gag reel. Overall the pros far outweigh the cons. The epidodes alone are good enough. On a side note, some people complained about the music. Due to issues, they couldn't get all the original songs. I for one do not notice. Although I would like to hear what it was like originally. All I know is that Dido still sings the original score and Crash into Me (the only song i remembered) still played in the Pilot. So what're you waiting for, buy it, hey its free shipping !

Summary: The Best of Roswell!
Review: Where else do the waitresses wear alien antennae while serving a Blood of Alien Smoothie? In what other town are your teachers possible government agents, and local business owners the victims of alien abductions...allegedly. And we won't even get into the secrets within Roswell High's eraser room. Max Evens, his sister Isabel and close friend Michael, know they are different. What they don't know is how or why. So they hide in plane site within the kooky little town of Roswell, New Mexico. Until the fateful day when Liz Parker (Max's long time secret love and local human) is shot right in from of him. Unable to turn away, he heals her fatal wound and puts his life in her hands. Thus beginning the journey of Max, Isable, Michael, Liz, Maria and Alex as they try to hide the truth from the snooping town sheriff, the persistent FBI and even their own families. Filled with wonderful irony, and eccentric background characters, Roswell will keep you guessing, because people are rarely who they seem.

Summary: Fair presentation. Lousy Music
Review: The episodes look crisp and much better than most television shows on DVD. As on television, the quality of the show goes downhill with the episode "Crazy," but the previous episodes are some of the best television I've seen in years. The one major problem with the discs is the music. Most of the songs have been replaced with generic pop sounding songs that add nothing. A shame.

Summary: Simply the best
Review: I have been waiting for a long time for "Roswell" to come to DVD. The first season is the best, IMO, because it has the perfect balance of sci-fi and teenage angst, which was the show's appeal. "Roswell" has always been about being human and being different, and what really drew me into this show in the first place was the fact that you can feel the electricity between Max and Liz. Their romance felt realistic and honest, rather than forced/contrived as in some other shows. The only gripe I have is that I wish they'd kept the original music in. (and I wish they had more extras!) But otherwise, a great addition to your DVD collection.

Summary: Great dvd
Review: Love that Roswell is on dvd, hate the commentaries, except the ones by Shiri and Majandra, come on where are the commentaries by the rest of the cast? Sorry but I really dont want to hear Jason Katims yacking. Also, why not show bloopers from the show and some of the original auditions othere than just Emilie's. I hope on the season 2 release they add commentaries by Jason Behr and Brendan and Katie.But buy the dvd its great. CANT WAIT FOR SEASONS 2 AND 3

Summary: disappointed in music, but get it!
Review: I was reserving judgement on this set until I saw the whole thing with the new soundtrack. Well, I must say I am very disappointed that so much music was changed (how can Max comfort Liz after grandma dies WITHOUT Sarah McLachlan playing?). I recorded every episode, but didn't watch them a lot since the quality was poor. In turn I don't remember every song so I can't really tell what has been changed other than a handful of songs, or should I say it's not a big enough deal to stress over. The show is so great on its own that I still rate it five stars though. The extras are pretty good, and I like the widescreen format. Get it for sure! If anybody in charge of production is reading this- I WILL PAY MORE FOR THE ORIGINAL SONGS!

Summary: There Is Truth To Every Rumor...
Review: The TV show Roswell appeared for the first time in 1999 on The WB. It is a series based on three teenagers who are actually hybrids (part human, part alien).
This show was so intense, so unique, so gripping, that it created a fan base that other TV shows have never seen. Roswell fans rallied together to not only save the show, but they also ralled together for charity causes in the name of the stars, the writers, the show, etc.
A show has got to be THAT good to move people to such lengths! If you have never seen this series and would like something that will have you on the edge of your seat, then you will NOT be unhappy!
From the love stories to the cat-and-mouse games with the FBI, Roswell will leave you breathless! It IS as good as everyone says!!!

Summary: Paramount is really patheic...
Review: Is there any logic in releasing a series on DVD when it was on such a short time on TV. NO. But Paramount is desperate for cash these days as they have not made a box office champion movie that made them millions in quite some time, so they relase more second rate TV shows on DVD. This show was so awful, it does not deserve a place on DVD, it needs to be thrown into the vaults never to see the light of day again. Then again, Enterprise needs to be shown the door also.

Summary: I Love Roswell
Review: I remember when this came out, I too was a sophmore in high school and wow quickly became a fan. My first reaction was that this show was going to be stupid and dumb, c'mon aliens? 47, hello its 1999??? but after the first episode i was hooked and the follow-up episodes were equally addicting. I remember talking about it constantly with some of my friends in high school. After the show moved to UPN, I lost track of it and never watched it. I bought the dvd the other day and wow ! I'm on disk 3 and i have so many good things to say for starters:
- love the packaging, each disk has its individual little container, with awsesome artwork from the show
- scene selections !!! 'nuf sed !!!!!
- n did i mention roswell, n omg everytime commercial would come up i would forget its dvd n i wud stand up to go get a snack or something and no i sit right back down. n i havent even gone through the good stuff like the commentaries so i am very pleased with my purchase and lastly i will say that i was dissappointed the show did not pick up in numbers. This show was so good and I was amazed by how many similarities this show had with Smallville, which came after. Granted superman has a larger fanbase. If this show had come on after smallville, i think it would've succeded. sadly it was gone after 3 seasons, i wudve liked to see it on for atleast 4-5 seasons :(
