And people complain about the last season?!?! Bev and Jackie fighting over something stupid. The only thing different and slightly amusing is the fact that it's over some old guy.

We get it, Jackie and Bev don't get along. We get they fight and dig at each other constantly. We get Jackie is somewhat man crazy. Did they really need to write a story about Bev arguing with Jackie over some man? No. At least if it was another episode where they're fighting over Jackie's parenting skills, lack of make up, or inability to keep a man long term, it wouldn't seem they were digging they're pockets for an episode.moreless

- Roseanne: (to Leon as they sort through merchandise she's received from being on the morning talk show, "Wake Up Chicago") Look at all this free stuff! This TV scam is the greatest thing I ever thought of! (singing) Da, da, da, da, da-- The stores!
  
  The singing portion of this quote is an allusion to Lisa Douglas (actress Ava Gabor) singing, "The chores...The stores...Fresh air...Times Square!" from the theme song for the 1960's sit-com, Green Acres.
  EDIT SHARE
- Jackie: (waving a paper in the air) That's it! My divorce is final! It's signed, sealed, delivered-- I'm alone!
  
  Jackie is alluding to the Stevie Wonder song, "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours".
  EDIT SHARE
- The episode title is an Allusion to the song of the same name.
