My Sitcom Wheel of Fortuitousness is coming greatly in handy and I'm only three nights in. Home Improvement, Newhart and now, tonight, Roseanne have made up the first three nights. Decided to make this thread in case I want to log my progress. Not sure if I'll update or not. But feel free to play along somehow.
About to fire up the first episode of Roseanne. I gotta say I'm grateful to have the complete series, but if I can avoid Mill Creek and their horrendous TV packaging I will always do so. If you try to pick this set up in your hands like you would a normal DVD or complete series set the entire thing will fall out of your hands. Check out the unboxing below, as reviewed by a guy that sounds like Walt Jr. in Breaking Bad.

Is there some hardcore version of Roseanne floating about only Jigs knows about?
From my understanding of syndicated TV, it means that they're edited to allow for commercials/advertisements. Which is basically every sitcom. What I have, I assume, are the unedited, original broadcast versions but with no commercials. Assuming that's what he meant?
Curious to know wtf he's talking about for sure though.

You are correct. I only ask because I was watching a few episodes a couple of months ago - on Peacock, I think - and I noticed they were missing a few scenes and lines I remembered.
I had to imagine that the full episodes were the ones released on DVD, but sometimes you never know.

Yeah. You can never trust any streaming service to watch a TV show as it aired. It edits out music, "offensive content", etc... Supernatural is completely unwatchable, as that show relied primarily on rockin tunage in the show and netflix replaced all the great shit with stock nonsense that makes the show dull as shit.
