No, it's not. Michelle Thomas didn't become a regular cast member until Season 6. When that season makes its way to DVD, you'll probably see her on the cover then- assuming they have a picture of her with the main cast available to use, but I feel fairly confident they probably do.
As I've said elsewhere, what I think is rude is to have Steve Urkel crowding the rest of the cast out on the box. But again- I understand why they're doing it. It's all about marketing- they know Steve Urkel is the major selling point for "Family Matters" and that's why WB does that. But it's still annoying not to have bigger pictures of the Winslow family on the DVD covers, seeing as how the show is centered on the Winslows and was originally just supposed to be about them- not their next door neighbor.

What does that have to do with her not being on the cover?

Anyways, I agree with MacLeaper.

No. It was rude having Valerie Jones on the season 1 DVD cover when she played Judy for one episode while Jaimee Foxworth played her for 21 episodes. Michelle Thomas wasn't a regular. Waldo wasn't on season 3's DVD cover even though he appeared alot, but he wasn't a main cast member yet.

That's a good point too- it's pretty weird that they used Valerie Jones' picture on the Season 1 DVD cover instead of Jaimee Foxworth. Surely they must have had a cast photo from that time with her in it for use?

It seems like they use the most common pictures for the covers. Do a google search and the cast photos used on the dvd are likely the first to come up from that season. None of the other pictures that come up have either Judy in it. But they must have one. Warner should look harder. I found a pic of Jaimee with Kellie and Darius from season one. They could have used that.

Well, too late to worry about it now. Maybe they could rectify that on a DVD rerelease of Season 1 if they ever do that in the future though.

AMEN, AMEN and AMEN! I agree with everything in this commentary. Nothing further from the truth.

Totally agree with this comment as well. You would have thought that the researchers would have put forth a little more effort in finding an accurate cast picture with Jaimee Foxworth in the fold. I did not like that that research was not done.

Yeah, and hopefully they can restore the What A Wonderful World intros for episodes 1-5 and the original cold open for episode four as well.

They should have put a huge picture of the entire winslow family and put that nerd steve urkel in the back of the picture, as a matter of fact why is steve urkels picture on the season 1 DVD anyway he was barely in that season thank goodness lol, the show felt like the cosby show when it first started.
