My favourite variation of the opening credits and theme:

LOL at all the sitcom threads. I loved this show. Darlene was my fave character.

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.

One of my favourite sitcom moments EVER. Laurie Metcalfe deserved all those Emmy's she won for playing Jackie. LOL!

Season 9 was horrible. Was it just outright cancelled or did Roseanne want to end it?

Roseanne always said season 9 was going to be the last season, so she ended it.

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?

One of my favourite episodes ever, the pot smoking episode.

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.

I floved Jackie's bf. I am drawing a blank on his name.

Roseanne always said season 9 was going to be the last season, so she ended it.

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.

The one who beat her? Fisher? I know the actor is Laurie Metcalfe's real life husband.

I floved Jackie's bf. I am drawing a blank on his name.

Which one? Booker... Gary... Fisher... Fred... those were the main ones

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.

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.
