Members KMan101 Posted May 20, 2017 Members Share Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) 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 ...

Members BetterForgotten Posted May 20, 2017 Members Share Posted May 20, 2017 If CBS doesn't allow Johnny Galecki to make appearances on the show, I wonder if they'll have Darlene and David divorced/separated. Or maybe he'll be mentioned and not seen... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted May 20, 2017 Members Share Posted May 20, 2017 Lecy's Becky was kind of a brat...so Darlene bursting her bubble was always entertaining season 1 through 3 before Darlene went gothic. With Sarah's Becky...yoi felt kind of sorry for her because she seemed cheerful and Darlene looked bitter and mean spirited bursting her bubble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted May 20, 2017 Members Share Posted May 20, 2017 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted May 21, 2017 Members Share Posted May 21, 2017 And I do think Seasons 6 and 7 had some great episodes but the tone is so different ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 21, 2017 Members Share Posted May 21, 2017 IA. Also -- and I admit this is just me -- I had a hard time believing her as half of a relationship with ANY man, let alone with David. IMO, they should have had Darlene come out of the closet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted May 21, 2017 Members Share Posted May 21, 2017 Yeah I agree. I liked her with David at times but overall I agree with that. Or have her be bi. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 21, 2017 Members Share Posted May 21, 2017 (edited) For one thing, the show had become so anti-male that it was sickening. Roseanne, IMO, has a very warped opinion of how men think and behave. And then there's what happened the day someone decided Laurie Metcalf needed to camp it up more as Jackie. That might've been interesting. Although, IMO, Sara Gilbert had way more chemistry with women, especially with Danielle Harris (Molly) and even with Sarah Chalke, than she had with Galecki.

Members dragonflies Posted May 21, 2017 Author Members Share Posted May 21, 2017 I thought Jackie got unlikeable as well. I rooted for her (ex)husband over her 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 21, 2017 Members Share Posted May 21, 2017 The whole story where they were so adamant about Jackie and Fisher breaking up and Fisher not being involved in his child's life was one of the main reasons I quit watching. The character became completely vile. Most of them did. The sad truth is that I think I really enjoyed the version of the show that Roseanne likely looks back on with contempt - the years with Crystal, when she was working at the factory, the food court, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 21, 2017 Members Share Posted May 21, 2017 IA. God knows Roseanne is no fan of Matt Williams or Jeff Harris', but I think they kept "Roseanne" from going off the deep end. That's why I'm not AS enamored with the show after S2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted May 21, 2017 Members Share Posted May 21, 2017 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 ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted May 21, 2017 Author Members Share Posted May 21, 2017 Yep and the later seasons I always felt like Roseanne didn't give a crap for her kids or Dan, unlike the Roseanne of the early seasons who you could tell loved her kids more than life 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted May 21, 2017 Members Share Posted May 21, 2017 Brian Kerwin as Jackie's bf was my favorite... Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted May 21, 2017 Members Share Posted May 21, 2017 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
