Members Eric83 Posted April 26, 2010 Members Share Posted April 26, 2010 LOL at all the sitcom threads. I loved this show. Darlene was my fave character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 26, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 26, 2010 I loved how damn real, bitter, and sarcastic the humour on this show could be at times. It was such a departure from the sugary sweet sitcoms of that era. Finally, a family that looked like real people that had issues that weren't always resolved in 30 minutes. Darlene, Roseanne, and Jackie were my favourite characters. The women really dominated this show, though John Goodman was hilarious and deserved an Emmy for his work, IMO. I love the first 6 seasons or so, and I though the show should have ended during season 8. Season 9 was unnecessary, but I know Roseanne wanted it to reflect her real life and how she came from nothing to suddenly being rich and famous later in life.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 26, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 26, 2010 One of my favourite sitcom moments EVER. Laurie Metcalfe deserved all those Emmy's she won for playing Jackie.

Members Eric83 Posted April 26, 2010 Members Share Posted April 26, 2010 Season 9 was horrible. Was it just outright cancelled or did Roseanne want to end it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 26, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 26, 2010 Roseanne always said season 9 was going to be the last season, so she ended it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted April 26, 2010 Members Share Posted April 26, 2010 I can watch the first five or so seasons over and over and over and over again. So easy to relate to those characters and their stories and what-not. Some of my favorites...the bowling alley episode, the one with Dan's birthday at the Lobo Lounge, almost all of the Halloween episodes. Remember when Roseanne dressed up as Prince?

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 26, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 26, 2010 One of my favourite episodes ever, the pot smoking episode. Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted April 26, 2010 Members Share Posted April 26, 2010 Roseanne is and always will be my all-time favorite sitcom; I can never get enough of the reruns! I have seasons 1-6, and agree with the person who said seasons 1-6 were the best. Season 7 was when it started going downhill in quality and overall funniness. Season 8 definitely should've been a perfect way to end it with David & Darlene's wedding. It's funny though, no matter how much I love Roseanne and love being able to see reruns of it late at night, I simply cannot sit through half the episodes from Season 9, they were *that* terrible. One episode was entirely about Leon and his boyfriend and Bev and her new girlfriend, while another had Jackie and Mark at a white-trash WWF-like wrestling match. Oy... the last episode is so good though. Especially that bittersweet ending... seeing Roseanne explain what really happened during the past year and then we see her walk through the kitchen and living room which are back to their original furnishings instead of the post-lottery decorations... you just get a lump in your throat seeing the end.

Members Soapsuds Posted April 26, 2010 Members Share Posted April 26, 2010 I floved Jackie's bf. I am drawing a blank on his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted April 26, 2010 Members Share Posted April 26, 2010 I read/heard somewhere that Roseanne at one point had a change of heart and proposed to ABC that they do a tenth season where Roseanne (and perhaps Jackie?) moved to Vegas and had a show... I'm guessing this would've continued their lottery money success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 26, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 26, 2010 The one who beat her? Fisher? I know the actor is Laurie Metcalfe's real life husband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted April 26, 2010 Members Share Posted April 26, 2010 Which one? Booker... Gary... Fisher... Fred... those were the main ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted April 26, 2010 Members Share Posted April 26, 2010 Which one? She had a million of them. Fred was her baby daddy, and yes, he was lovely in all his blue-collar glory. The guy was also in Caddyshack and guest starred on a ton of 70s/80s shows, including an episode of THE WALTONS that I'll never ever ever forget.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 26, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 26, 2010 I always thought winning the lottery would have been a great series finale for the show. After years of financial struggle, to see Roseanne and her family hit the jackpot and end on that note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
