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.

Does that have the longer or shorter versions of the episodes?

Either way, I watched the first two seasons of Roseanne something like six years ago. Pretty solid fun.

I don't watch sitcoms.

Time to turn this bitch into Thunderdome. And Jason done busted a lot of deals. Lots.

I like Ghosts

Is this Haley Joel Osment's failed audition for the Sixth Sense or...

Not sure what you mean. The pilot episode and the second episode are the two I watched last night and they were about 25 minutes long.

George Clooney was surprisingly in the pilot and I didn't know they had a different kid playing D.J. in the pilot either. Lol

I was trying to ask whether the DVD copies were the syndicated versions or not, and it seems like they aren't, so that's quality.

There's no commercials, if that's what you mean.

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.

Jig?

6 years ago, some "Pretty solid fun" was on these mysterious elongated tapes, and now I got to know what the fuck is on the tapes!

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.

Umm, the answer to the great mysterious tapes was not to be just shitting on streaming again. Damnit.

How come there are no Netflix shows on your list?

Every show on the wheel is from the 70s-90s except Last Man Standing so...

Tonight's spin resulted in Sanford & Son. This is such a "GOATed" concept, as the kids say.

How come there are no Disney+, Apple+ or LGBTQ+ shows on your list? Are you a -?
