• When did Jackie outrank Dan in HIS house??

  I haven't posted a topic on here in a while....believe me i can post some really thought provoking ones. lol j/k. I'm watching 'Say It Ain't So' after Dan was caught by Jackie on the phone with his mom's nurse. I just don't get how Jackie just started running over him and he bowed down to her after that episode. When did she just move in. I don't recall her ever going back to her own home. When they were in the kitchen she told him 'given the situation between you and my sister, i feel it's best that we don't talk'. why would she tell him that and still be allowed to stay in the house?? why? because Dan cheated?? i don't know if that was on the writers to make it seem that way, but normally Dan wouldn't have just given in and even to the point apologizing to HER for cheating. I think Jackie should have left and let them work it out...but then again Roseanne always butted into her life, so I guess Jackie wasn't gonna miss out on this part. She meddled sometimes but not like this... Just odd to me...your thoughts. less «

• Laurie Metcalf on TV commercial

  Yesterday I saw Laurie Metcalf (Jackie) on a new TV commercial for sponsoring a child in Africa. It called planUSA or something like that. It reminded me of when Sally Struthers used to do the commercials for Christian Children's Fund back in the 70s or 80s. Anybody see it yet?

  Roseanne was a show that hit close to home for many a family and still does in repeats. hide « show »

  Dan and Roseanne Conner were middle class people who had kids, weren't "cute" but instead seemed more like the kids most parents have.
  
  The Conners had plenty of problems to no job or too many jobs that either way didn't help pay the bills.
  
  Absent, flaky, abusive parents or annoying friends/family members or neighbours, they had it all and managed to survive.
  
  Even when Becky ran off with Mark, or Dan finding out the truth about his mother's mental health, Roseanne was the rock in that family.
  
  She gave good advice whether you wanted it or not and at the same time was very protective of her family. Roseanne had an answer for everyone and everything. If she didn't she made it up as she went along.

  Bring the Show back! It was awesome watcing the family grow up! hide « show »

  This was a staple of my childhood. I think alot of girls out there can relate to the characters Darlene and Becky. As an adult watching this show, i finally get it. I finally get all the storylines with paying bills, borowing money, finding a job, ans raising children. The fact that i can relate to that and watch a show and laugh about it is awesome! I just wish there was another show like it on today! I get my fix from watching nick at night and we! They should bring the show back and we can see baby Jerry all grown up!

  A classic show that changed the way the world thinks. hide « show »

  'Roseanne' is without a doubt one of the most ground breaking shows of all time. It covered subjects that other sitcoms of its time would just swerve away from. What makes it even better is that many of the things in the show are issues that can and do happen in real life. It was a funny and great show and it was a shame it got cancelled. It had a great cast and great storylines, I have absolutely no complaints about any of the episodes, or show all together. It set the bar for some of today's great shows.

  Roseanne has a good balance of comedy and seriousness. The show has a good set of characters that are easy to relate to. I would highly recommend watching this show. hide « show »

  While I still do like many shows that always end episodes on a happy note, I love Roseanne because there is a closer resemblance to real life. The show successfully keeps the humor in it's episodes, while keeping things serious and realistic. I think it is a bolder move to end episodes realistically, because happy endings are the easier way to please viewers. Roseanne was written well enough to pull off the realistic endings.
  
  One of my favorite things about Roseanne is the acknowledgment that families have arguments and problems. Most shows keep everything sugar coated and barely ever show an argument. Most other shows that do show arguments or problems in the family make it only for comedic purposes, with no seriousness to it. The show always found a way to keep humor in episodes even during the most serious matters. It has a good balance, rather than making it too serious or just making jokes over the entire topic.
  
  The characters are easy to relate to. Each character made a mistake or bad decision at some point in the show, showing that children and adults can both make wrong decisions. I felt that all of the characters are likable and it is easy to see things from anyone's point of view.
  
  This is one of my favorite shows of all time and I would recommend to anyone that hasn't watched it before to give it a try.

  This is one of the best shows that TV has ever shown. hide « show »

  I love Roseanne! It is funny pretty much all the time, of course, there is some drama in the show which makes it even better! For me, personally, this show is alot better than most of the shows that were going on at that time because this show was willing to show life's hardships and ups and downs of it - which is what makes it so freakin awesome! I didnt ever see anything that make me mad or disappoint me throughout the whole nine years that this show was airing. This show along with a few others are my most favorite shows over all the rest!
