Direct to Video was the 10th episode of Season 8 of Roseanne, also the 183rd overall series episode. It was written by Bob Nickman and was directed by Gail Mancuso. It originally aired on ABC-TV on December 5, 1995, but took place prior to the birth of Jerry Garcia Connor. Something to be noted is that this episode has several anachronisms: Roseanne says at the end that she can't wait to meet the baby, and Becky refers to the baby as "sis"... when the baby had actually been born in the previous Halloween episode... clearly this one was written and/or filmed before the baby was born, and the gender plot change was applied to the show.
