There's the link for the season 8 cover art! I really like the blue background, and the yellow goes great with it. It's nice to see they used a cast photo this time instead of a cut and paste picture of Dan and Roseanne.

Season 8 Cover Art is Awsome

Thanks for the link! I was wondering what the cover art was going to be like this time. Unfortunately, I must admit, I'm not impressed. The bright glow around everyone seems too much this time, and only draws more attention to everybody's "cut-out" hair. Thumbs down for me-- it reminds me of scrapbooking.

It's hard to tell, is the stringer of photos beneath the family shot actually from season 8? The season 1-7 cover art sometimes included a collection of Roseanne pictures not necessarily from the season the DVD was about. I hope they took the time to get it right this time-- that and exclude typos and incorrect episode summaries. I hate to sound ungrateful to Carsey Wernerfor making Roseanne available to fans, but by season 8, they should have been able to come up with an editor who actually watched the program and can get the details right. Stuff like that is important to us die hard fans.

Why have Sarah Chalke on the cover and not Lecey Goranson, didnt Lecy return to the show for season 8? :confused: As I remember Sarah wasnt in season 8

Thanks for posting!

That the wrong Bexcky.

Sarah Chalk appeared in 5 episodes in season 8 as becky but still they should have used becky number 1

Why have Sarah Chalke on the cover and not Lecey Goranson, didnt Lecy return to the show for season 8? :confused: As I remember Sarah wasnt in season 8Lecy Goranson returned as Becky in the first episode of season 8 ("Shower the People You Love with Stuff," 174-8) where she and Sarah Chalke played opposite each other in the infamous Patty Duke Show opening scene in the tag. Goranson continued to play Becky until "We're going to Disneyworld (1)," 90-8, when Sarah Chalke briefly reprised the role for the two-part (also, "Disney World War II (2)," 191-8) family vacation to Disneyworld. Lecy reappeared in two subsequent episodes, "Springtime for David," 192-8, and "Heart & Soul," 197-8, although Sarah played the role in the intervening episode "The Wedding," 196-8. In all fairness, Goranson should have had dibs on the DVD cover.

I really like the cover art lets hope they dont change it.Thanx for posting!!

Actually, Lecy appeared in 9 episodes, and Sarah appeared in 5 episodes, and the other 10 episodes neither of them were in. I really don't think it matters much, but I did email Anchor Bay about this, and hopefully it will be fixed. After all, Lecy was the one credited this season as Becky, not Sarah Chalke.

Lecy appeared in 7 of the episodes before Disney World, and 2 (Heart and Soul, Fights and Stuff) after Disney World. Sarah was in 1 before Disney World, and 4 (including Heart and Soul, where both actresses switched scenes) after Disney World.

And, how could you not like this cover art? The blue background is just fantastic, and the yellow blends so great with it. And, for the first time ever, I believe all the photos in the strip are from the eighth season. I think Anchor Bay really wanted to please us for this release, and they definitely got to me! I can't wait to hear what the bonus features are . . . when there announced, I'll make sure I post.

...but I did email Anchor Bay about this, and hopefully it will be fixed.Oh, Thanks. I'm SURE they'll get right on it :rolleyes:

actually lecy is in 11 episodes. she appears in the getaway almost but is cut out in syndication. and she briefly appears in the opening scene to springtime for david with only a few lines.

Oh, you're right. I must have forgot about "Springtime for David" and "The Getaway, Almost", since its been awhile since I've seen that episode uncut.
Thanks!

Okay, Anchor Bay has finally issued out a press release for season 8. Here you can see 3-D front art, plus backart:

Plus, as you read the article there, they list the bonus features, which are pretty good, considering we're already inthe eighth season. We will be getting video commentaries from Roseanne (expect them to be full-length this time, around 2 of them) plus a brand new candid interview with Roseanne, running around 8 minutes.

Also, through my email with Anchor Bay, they replied that box art cannot be fixed now because it has already formally been issued out, but it was a mistake on there part (they should have included Lecy on the front, Sarah on the back). They also said season 9 will have more bonus features (and possibly bloopers), and we could maybe expect a series release in the future.

i'm excited about getting the 8th season. The cover art looks great besides the fact that it shows Sarah Chalke instead of Lecy. I wonder what episodes Roseanne will do the commentary on? I'm also curious if the series release will include the uncut season 1? O well i plan on ordering the Austrailian version anyways. It would be nice to have the American version uncut though.

I'm sure they'd rerelase season 1 uncut sometime in the future. Plus, my indication on the commentaries would be the Disney World episodes. JUst a guess, though.

hopefully, they do just that. Idk my guess might be the Halloween episode, and maybe Darlenes Wedding.

PlayUsa have this for £17.99 (in British Pounds) yet i had to pay £22.99 for seasons 6 & 7 plus import duties. Why is series 8 so cheaper than seasons 6 & 7?

Also, is series 8 the one where Roseanne and Jackie get pulled over by the cops in one episode?

Yeah, that was a season 8 episode.

Does anybody know if there will be any extras on this season 8 dvd? i have pre-ordered mine from playusa but it does not state whether there is or not.
Well just one more season to go after this one! ;)

Yeah, there will be 2 video commentaries, and a new interview with Roseanne.

:banana: :dance: :yippee:

I'm hoping the commentaries are full commetnaries, and not those cut up, 10-minute ones like we got on season 5.

Yeah me to, also i hope on season 9 they get john goodman or one of the others to do a commentary or even better all of them together! Also Some more deleted scenes! :)

They probably will include a lot of bonus feaztures for season 9, since it is the final season. I'm hoping for more bloopers, especially from the later seasons, and maybe some more interviews from the toehr cast members, like John Goodman or Sara Gilbert.

Fingers crossed hey!;)

I got season 8 today yay!
Video commentaries on-
The fifties show,
Disney world part 2
Springtime for david

Oh, so there's 3 commentaries? And those are the best episodes we could have gotten commentary on! Was there an interview with Roseanne? And, are the commentaries full?

Lecy Goranson returned as Becky in the first episode of season 8 ("Shower the People You Love with Stuff," 174-8) where she and Sarah Chalke played opposite each other in the infamous Patty Duke Show opening scene in the tag.

Sorry 2 b the bearer of bad news but the infamous end tag homage to "Patty Duke Show" is missing from this set, guess they couldn't get music rights!!! That wuz one of my fave parts of this episode too!! Boohoo!:mad:

It's one of the best tag scenes Roseanne had! I'm guessing music costs must have been pretty high for it, though, and Anchor Bay would have probably needed more time to get the rights to it.

SC was in Season 08 during the latter half. I wouldn't have had the kids on the cover at all becuase they didn't appear regularly (well, maybe MF did). Only Roseanne, Dan, and Jackie did.
