KMan101

Gary was my favorite for Jackie as well. I prefer the Crystal years, the factory, Rodbells, the bike shop ... Seasons 1-5 were the best. Season 6 and 7 were the man hating, miserable bitch I'm probably snorting coke or doing pills Roseanne years (seriously, she looks stoned a lot of episodes). Season 8 wasn't too bad, but it was supposed to be the last season initially so I think it mellowed out and felt a bit more like the earlier years. Season 9 was trash even if some of the episodes have grown on me.

I'll be nice and say I do appreciate the diversity and different takes on certain characters, but I'm still not sold on it.

It wasn't Fisher but Fred @DRW50 Fisher was the young abusive one. I didn't like Jackie with Fred because of her attitude. And Laurie decided Jackie needed to become Barney Fife. Agreed @Khan Roseanne clearly hated men after her breakup with Arnold (not to mention she looked like she was on something during a few seasons). All Dan did was yell and be miserable, Mark became dumber than a box of rocks, David became even more pathetic ...

Yeah I agree. I liked her with David at times but overall I agree with that. Or have her be bi.

And I do think Seasons 6 and 7 had some great episodes but the tone is so different ...

LOL. I think you're the one who needs to chill out. We all have an opinion and we're all entitled to it. I'm glad you like it. Most of us don't. It's OK.

Lol yes! Excellent comparison

+1 I actually thought the Cristal actress came off better than the Fallon actress. And Fallon/Steven seem so vapid and void of any real charm. It just seemed like a bunch of one liners that are meant to be bitchy or witty. It was terrible. One or two moments maybe had some promise but overall ... ugh.

Exactly. But by Season 6 I think so many of them were honestly unlikable. As much as I love the show. Roseanne's bitterness came through loud. Seasons 1-5 were the best. Season 8 wasn't too bad. I wasn't a big fan of Darlene going gothic. It lasted a little too long. And then she just became nasty. I enjoyed the episode when the family turned on her for her smart mouth remarks (when she turned down the well paying job). Darlene's probably my favorite but it got a little tired.

I never put the same stock into the finale as everyone else seemed to ... like Dan would ever stay dead in any kind of revival. LOL. Come on. And there's no way they'd undo Becky/Mark (though making Mark dumber than a box of rocks made me have a hard time seeing Lecy's Becky with him anymore) or Darlene/David. Darlene would have never been with Mark. Sarah's Becky and David maybe but not Lecy's Becky. The writing for Sarah's Becky vs. Lecy's Becky was so obvious too. They made Sarah's Becky a flighty almost dumb blond who was often bested by Darlene compared to Lecy's Becky who suddenly wanted to do more than work at a Hooters knock off and go back to college and could hold her own with Darlene ...

Thats for sure. Awful all around. Seems incredibly basic.

Yeah I can't see Mark not be addressed.

LOL @Soapsuds John lost a lot of weight that's why. Lecy looks fine. I love you buddy but lol. People do age

I feel like Season 9 was just a big ole middle finger to Disney/ABC. Which is a shame. I hope Season 10 will do the show justice. They also have to address Glenn Quinn/Mark. He went way too young

From the Upfront today

Pretty sure it's been said in other articles Galecki will take part. Not sure if it would be better on Netflix, probably, but I'm cautious on how Roseanne will handle it.

Woo hoo!!! Though I'm slightly nervous about how outlandish Roseanne may make it and how political it could be. But I'm still thrilled it's coming back. I also love that they seem to have a role for Sarah Chalke too.

LOL I like The Goldbergs. I like a lot of their sitcoms actually. I think the Shondaland dramas are a bit overrated ...

Even if it gets half of the ratings it did in it's last season on FOX (which I fully expect it will get half of the ratings it did) it's still a step up for ABC, so it's definitely a win.

The ratings at their lowest were still better than all the shows on Fox and some on ABC ... not saying I love they're reviving it but it's still a viable franchise. If they reboot it properly. Bringing back any old judge isn't the right move. Kelly sort of turned her back on Idol which was surprising. I think she and Adam Lambert would have made great judges.

LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing Susan in the new Progressive commercial. She looks AMAZING. Agreed

LOL

I agree. Pay Whoopi what she wants (after ten years how is she NOT an EP?), she's a big draw for them. And the panel they have, minus Paula, is the best they've had in a very very long time. I wonder if Whoopi's here on a Friday because of Deion Sanders and Wanda Sykes ...

Of course the Friday a week after I'm gone Whoopi and Jed are there. Sigh. Figures. Unless it was taped. I missed the opening because of a local weather alert. It's a Friday and no Paula because Whoopi is there. Interesting. But Sunny is off.

I'd take anyone over Paula ... lol She's not THAT bad but she adds NOTHING. I like her on Weekend GMA for the most part. I know Whoopi's getting the Barbara treatment and off on Friday's now that they're live but I still think it's because she and Paula aren't fans of each other. JMO. Wow. I agree with you. I expect and hope all five return next season too. I can believe she tanked. She's not personable. She's fine on Weekend GMA. I wouldn't mind Diane Macedo replacing her on The View.
