Season 1 of "Family Matters". Poor Jaimee Foxworth got the shaft again.

I liked the final season cover.

It's meh I guess. Greg looks like he has eye makeup on, Cindy looks like she's too old for pigtails, Carol looks like she has dyed hair, Jan's face looks kind of off, Marcia's cheeks look like they are puffed, and Peter looks like he's leaning off to the right.

Was she on any of the DVD covers at all?

She's on the Seasons 2, 3 and 4 DVD covers. Weirdly, Urkel is on the Sixth Season cover twice.

Okay, it's not actually a DVD cover, but it's definitely a bad cover for a TV product:

Dorothy, Blanche, and Rose look okay, but... is that actually supposed to be Sophia?

They don’t look bad to me. I like them.

This one does look strange.

That it does. It looks like they tried to CGI Sophia's face using the model of a much younger woman.

From the looks of it, they based that Clue GG art on the very 1st episode of the series. Sophia did look older and a bit off in that episode.

What's up with Steve Urkel though?

I get that he was the prominent star of the show, but I hate that Urkel's mug takes up so much space. I think it's like that for every season's DVD set.

It's even more annoying here because he was still mostly a guest star in season one.

It only took until the third DVD release for them to find a cast photo with Jm. J. Bullock! :lol:

But there are many ugly dvd covers for sitcom, probably one of the reasons they poorly sell.
It would be more difficult to find some nice boxset.

And unfortunately that third season was never released and the first two seasons are long out of print. I wish someone would release the complete series of Too Close for Comfort. It was a good show.

That’s actually the UK version of Cheers and the Dutch version of Married with Children.

Cheers maybe I was a little harsh. But for me is too minimal.
The Roseanne cover is really poor, I don't like the polaroid pictures and the text on bottom is way too big.
I would have loved something similar to the FFamily Matters boxset; instead of the sweater blanket use the same of the blanket on the sofa and make something related to the series:

As for Married with Children the pattern is too evident, but the main problem is in the logo and its colors.

Clearly, all of this imho.

I know, I live in Europe and buy from amazon UK, where you can get each european version (region 2 of dvd).
Those are the ones I know.

I was about to say that I didn't even know that the third season came out. You just saved me from going to Amazon and wondering why it's not there.

They had plans to release it in the summer of 2005 but unfortunately it was cancelled and Rhino went out of business a long time ago.

Well, I think you are being a bit overly critical. After all, these are great in comparison to some, ahem, other DVD covers:

Season 3 of MASH, bad photo cropping on Radar, there's no way he's the same height as Col. Blake.
