Love this show!

I love this show, and also the show The Middle, because they are more realistic pictures of my family. The fighting, the bad decor, the lower middle class with aspirations. They both love and hate each other. Usually you just see one or the other.

Anonymous wrote:I hate that final episode, especially where Roseanne made Jackie a lesbian. It ran contrary to her character considering so many of her issues had to do with men and her relationships with them.

I thought that what Roseanne did was show what her real family looked like. How she used her real family as a basis for the characters in the show, but switched it up (and then in the last episode showed how they actually were). In other words, Jackie was her sister but in real life her sister is gay (and in the show, she just made her having lots of man-problems) in real life, her daughter that is like Darlene married the character that was Becky's husband and her daughter that was like Becky married the John Galeki character.

She was just telling the audience what her real family looked like.

Good news, "Roseanne" fans! The show's coming back!

+1. Couldn't watch that show.

+2. Disgusting. John Goodman and George Clooney were the only bright spots in that horrid show.

What? Hahahahaa GC was so not a bright spot; his character was so out of place, I thought.

Also, didn't George Clooney's character hit Jackie? Not exactly a "bright spot."

No, that was Fisher, a different boyfriend. My favorite scene ever with Dan: https://youtu.be/hvj48pfUo3U?t=2m10s

Jackie and Fisher were married for 20 years IRL.

And I know Tom Arnold caught a lot of flack, but I love him in the episode where Dan's in the porta potty, which got knocked over by a wrecking ball. He crawled out with his pants down.
Arnie: It was a really awkward moment. Fortunately I had the presence of mind to start the applause.
Roseanne: Don't you owe us money?
Arnie: I gotta go.
It was the timing...kinda hard to recreate here!

I loved that show growing up. I was Becky's age--high school class of '93...except she didn't graduate because she eloped with Mark...

Anyhow, I'm Roseanne (not fat though) and my sister is Jackie; in real life.

Love. love, love this show.

Growing up, I always felt like Darlene and my sister was Becky. My sister's name is actually Becky, too.

My fav show too! I'm AA if that matters.

Anyhow, I'm Roseanne (not fat though) and my sister is Jackie; in real life.

Love. love, love this show.

The Crime and Punishment episodes where Jackie's boyfriend beats her is one of my absolute favorites. I don't know how they managed to tackle a serious topic yet keep the comedy rolling but it was flawless (and another reason i to love Dan). When DJ's principal drives up and sees Dan in the back of a police car I lose it with laughter.
