Summary: WARNING... Key scenes have been BUTCHERED!
Review: Because of the extreme greed of the music companies, the Roswell DVD's lost a lot of music, and the producers only did a half-hearted job of picking replacements that lived up to the originals. In particular, Max and Liz's first kiss now has a very lame song over it instead of the original Gomez song. It ruins a well-known scene.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just got my copy! Definitely worth it!
Review: Got mine from Amazon.com today (9:30am the day it came out; so much for 2-day shipping)! I've watched the pilot episode and some of the extras.

First big thing to note: regardless of what Amazon or anyone else says, the episodes are widescreen! I had heard that the US version would be fullscreen while other versions were widescreen; it's nice to see that this is not the case.

I know people are concerned about the music. First of all, Fox makes it very clear on the box that some of the music is new (in traditional marketing form, "Includes cutting-edge songs selected by the original Roswell music team!"). Inside the case is an insert by the executive producer, Jason Katims, explaining his reasons for changing the music. He mentions some of the songs that they kept (Sarah Mclachlan during the healing scene, Dave Matthews during the pilot episode, and the Dido theme). That combined with the Roswell Season 2 insert shows dedication to the fans (who pushed so hard to get this DVD released).

Amazon lists the commentary wrong so here it goes:
"Pilot" - Jason Katims and David Nutter
"Blood Brother" - David Nutter
"The Balance" - Thania St. John
"Sexual Healing" - Shiri Appleby and Majandra Delfino
"Crazy" - Shiri Appleby and Majandra Delfino
"Destiny" - Jason Katims and Patrick Norris
There are a couple of featurettes: one behind the scenes ("Area 51") and the other is a making-of ("Roswell High" - this one deals with the books). The Tess audition tape is great as well.

And the episodes themselves are great. I don't know the original music well enough for the changes to bother me. Just being able to watch this show anytime is enough for most Roswell fans. There are enough reviews here about the show itself so I won't go into that.

Summary: BEST show EVER!!!
Review: Loved this show. It has something to satisfy everyone!!! I am so glad the DVD is out. I loved all the couples but my favorite was Michael & Maria (Liz & Max came a close second). Wasn't too happy with season 2 & 3 when they tried to break them up...but I guess all that makes for good drama :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An opportunity You don't want to miss
Review: Roswell to many people may just be a television show. But every fan knows that it was so much more. It wasn't just about teens and how many times they could hook-up with another person, it was about love, teen alienation, fear, courage, trust and loyalty.

I think so many people fell in love with the show because it was something that everyone could relate too or was something thatpeople wanted to realte too. Everyone wants to have friendships that you can depend on, that you can trsut, and form un breakable bonds.

Everybody wants to fall in love, whether in a soulmatey kind of way, an on and off kind of way, or a bittersweat kind of way. Most people long for love and this show gives you all the heatbreak, the bitersweat moments, and realistic relationships you can ever dream of without being boring.

This show allowed people to realte because many people feel left out, a loner, as if they are alienated from others. The aliens in this show allow you to see that you aren't alone out there. That there are people that are just like you and you have a chance to feel normal if you learn to let people in and live without fear.

The show showed everyone the unbreakable bond between 8 teenagers. How much they would go through together to help another. This show is something that you don't want to miss. If you don't belive me you can ask anyone else that has every scene just one episode. From the first time you see the show you will fall in love and never will stop.

Believe me when I say...Roswell is a exceptional ride that your never going to want to end!

Summary: Love IT

Summary: A Good Year For Roswell Viewers!
Review: To think it all started with Jason Behr's guest appearances on Dawson's Creek. Viewers of "The Creek" will remember him as Chris, the "rico suave" who acted in one of Dawson's movies. Apparently, "the powers that be" saw potential in Behr, thus Jason Katim's sci-fi teen drama was developed and formed around him. More recently, The Creek did the same thing for Chad Michael Murray, currently of One Tree Hill.

Immediately engaging and involving Roswell raised the bar, somewhat, for teen dramas with an incredible cast, original storylines, and a near-perfect balance of sci-fi elements and teen angst. There's no wonder why so many have so much to express about the phenomenon that is Roswell. Life was good for Roswell until it started losing support during it's 2nd season due to what TV Guide Couch Critic Matt Roush called "convoluted storylines." "Too much stuff going on," he said. Yeah, right. In any case, WB dropped Roswell (along with Buffy) from it's schedule. Luckily, UPN picked up Roswell (along with Buffy) for the show's 3rd and final season. For it's worth, Roswell went out fighting like a champ (along with my other cancelled favorite of that year, ABC's Once & Again) with one of television's better series finales. Treat yourself to, argubly, the most anticipated DVD you'll buy this year.

Wondering about Season 2?

The DVD's insert says this about Roswell - Season 2:

Encounter' takes on a whole new meaning.

Summary: Can't wait to buy this DVD!
Review: I'm very excited to see this show finally coming out on DVD. I guess just like many other fans here I was so dissappointed that this great show was canceled. It was so different from anything else out there, that I think this should've been the reason for the network to keep it on. Interesting plot, very cute and appealing charachers/actors, combined with just enough drama to keep things heated, and plenty of humour to keep you smiling.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Loved it
Review: I loved Roswell. It was the best show, and Michael is soooo hot. I wihs they hadn't been cancelled, but I'm going to buy the DVD set, now I can watch it whenever I want.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Extras? Different Music?
Review: I'll be disappointed if all the extras are not there...

The music is one of the reasons that they said it'd never come out on dvd, too much to get the rights. I never considered they'd change it! If they aren't playing Sarah McLachlan during those key scenes in the first episode...

Rating: 5 stars
