    This by far the best in episode in the entire series. When Roseanne asks Dan \"Do you think I\'m pretty?\" I just fall out. Then later when she gives it in her speech at the party that she never told anyone how he cried and cried during Old Yeller. It is absolutely the funniest moment in TV history. Watch this episode every time you can.

    Probably the funniest episode in the entire series of Roseanne. I always love the moment when the show comes on with the silent opening of the fan, I realize it is the PMS episode and I stop whatever I am doing to watch.
    I love the scenes where the family have to watch Dan confront Roseanne. I especially love the scene with Jackie at the party when Dan thinks his party is almost over, and she turns to him and says, \"there\'s cake...\"
    John Goodman and Roseanne are so amazingly funny. John Goodman must have had a great time playing of the PMS stricken Roseanne. And Roseanne must have had a blast switching from one mood to another. This episode is my favorite in the series, and I hope everyone else enjoyed it as well.moreless

    • Dan: (thinking) Hair. Hair's different, do I like it? What if she doesn't like it? Better do something quick before...
      Roseanne: Dan? Don't you like my hair?
      Dan: (thinking) Too late. (out loud) It's great!
      Roseanne: I don't believe you, Dan. I go out and get my hair done to make myself a little more attractive and you don't even notice? It's not like I did this for myself, its on top of my head! I can't even see it. Edit
    • Jackie: Oh, come on, Dan you don't know that Roseanne's got PMS.

    • When Dan says, "The horror . . . the horror...," he was quoting the movie "Apocalypse Now" (inspired by the novel Heart Of Darkness). These were the dying words of Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando). Edit
