Stephen J. Cannell library

On January 24, 2006, Carsey-Werner acquired the distribution rights to Stephen J. Cannell's library. It was originally owned by 20th Century Fox Television when News Corporation acquired New World Communications in 1997. Cannell then reacquired his library back from Fox on May 4, 1998. The library includes 21 Jump Street, The Greatest American Hero and Silk Stalkings. Shout! Factory acquired the Cannell library in March 2020.

DVD distribution

In 2004, the company announced licensing deals with 20th Century Fox, Anchor Bay Entertainment and Urban Works to distribute several of its television series to DVD. These were the first releases for the home entertainment market since a limited edition of The Cosby Show was permitted to be distributed by Columbia House.

In 2005/2006, Carsey-Werner was flooded with angry letters from fans of The Cosby Show and Roseanne, complaining about edited episodes. Carsey-Werner Distribution eventually decided that seasons 2 of The Cosby Show and Roseanne would be released with uncut shows. Roseanne was decided after John Goodman and Roseanne Barr appeared on Larry King Live and a fan called in, asking why Season 1's DVDs contained edited episodes. Barr and Goodman did not know about the editing, but Barr said she would talk to the producers. It has apparently worked, as there has been no evidence of editing on the Season 2, 3, and 4 sets.

In 2006, the company signed a deal with Magna Entertainment to release The Cosby Show and Roseanne on DVD in Australia.

On May 4, 2011, Mill Creek Entertainment announced that they had signed a deal with Carsey-Werner Productions to re-release 3rd Rock from the Sun, Grounded for Life, Roseanne and That '70s Show on DVD in Region 1.

As of 2011, the following Carsey-Werner series have been released on DVD:

3rd Rock from the Sun: Anchor Bay Entertainment (Region 1), Mill Creek Entertainment (Region 1), Network (Region 2), Beyond Home Entertainment (Region 4)

A Different World: Urban Works (Season 1 only) (Region 1)

Cybill: First Look Studios (Best-of) (Region 1), Anchor Bay Entertainment (Region 2), Beyond Home Entertainment (Region 4)

The Cosby Show: Urban Works/First Look Studios (Region 1), Universal Playback (Region 2), Magna Entertainment (Region 4)

God, the Devil and Bob: 20th Century Fox (Region 1)

Grounded for Life: Anchor Bay Entertainment (Region 1), Brightspark (Season 1 only) (Region 2), Visual Entertainment (Region 4)

Roseanne: Anchor Bay Entertainment (Region 1), Mill Creek Entertainment (Region 1), Magna Entertainment (Region 4)

That '70s Show: 20th Century Fox (Regions 1, 2 & 4), Mill Creek Entertainment (Region 1)

Internet

Several Carsey-Werner shows were made available on Netflix's Watch Instantly beginning in February 2011, including Roseanne, That '70s Show, The Cosby Show, & 3rd Rock from the Sun. However, in February 2012, Roseanne, The Cosby Show and 3rd Rock from the Sun were taken off instant streaming. Since then, selections of Roseanne and all of 3rd Rock from the Sun have been added back. That '70s Show was taken off Netflix on September 7, 2020, due to ending of the distribution contract.

Controversy

In 2017, Carsey-Werner sued the BBC over possible copyright infringement for using audiovisual clips from The Cosby Show in a documentary called Bill Cosby – Fall of an American Icon that aired on June 5, 2017, on the BBC.

Remasters

In March 2013, Carsey-Werner announced it was remastering That '70s Show, 3rd Rock from the Sun, Roseanne, Grounded for Life, A Different World and The Cosby Show into 16:9 high-definition.
