Members Roman Posted April 4, 2018 Members Share Posted April 4, 2018 I haven't watched the show, really because of one thing.....the picture Roseanne took. can't get past it. but, I have read just a bit about how she and Dan have changed from 20 years ago, due to circumstances and choices. are they really blaming others for their decisions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted April 4, 2018 Members Share Posted April 4, 2018 Over 15 million viewers second week! That's still an amazing feat. Isn't that just a smidgen higher than a regular new episode of Big Bang Theory? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted April 4, 2018 Members Share Posted April 4, 2018 Really? I don't recall. It has been over 20 years since it last aired and I haven't kept up with the reruns. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted April 4, 2018 Members Share Posted April 4, 2018 Yeah, it was season 7 episode 'Sisters'. Roseanne: [Becky and Darlene are sniping at one another] Okay, so that's enough. Now, we have a wonderful, loving family, and you two little bitches are not going to ruin it. You're gonna be loving, caring sisters, just like me and Jackie. Darlene: Fine. Darlene: [to Becky] I'll sleep with every guy in town and you can gain 400 pounds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted April 4, 2018 Members Share Posted April 4, 2018 One of my favorite exchanges, I have to admit. LOL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted April 4, 2018 Members Share Posted April 4, 2018 ^ OK, well, that's pretty funny at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted April 4, 2018 Members Share Posted April 4, 2018 Yeah, in the context, it worked better than Roseanne calling Harris a bitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted April 4, 2018 Members Share Posted April 4, 2018 That exchange sounds familiar...but it's funnier than last night's exchange. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted April 5, 2018 Members Share Posted April 5, 2018 Sara Gibert on her TV son "He's too young to be gay and he doesn't identify as transgender," Gilbert told Entertainment Weekly." Not the best choice of words from Gilbert. Does anyone say a child is too young to be straight? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted April 5, 2018 Members Share Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) I am gay and I get what she's saying. She's gay herself. Edited April 5, 2018 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted April 5, 2018 Members Share Posted April 5, 2018 I knew I was gay at 10 and fully realized I was gay at 13 when I had a massive crush on one of my male classmates. Damn....he became a doctor too and is even hotter now....LOL Agreed unless she realized later in life that she was gay. It's not the same for all but her statement isn't necessarily factual. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted April 5, 2018 Members Share Posted April 5, 2018 How old is the kid? I'm just curious. I don't think I had any sense of "liking" boys until I was 10 or so. Could be different for others obviously. With my children I figure they are blank slates until they tell me/show me who they are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 5, 2018 Members Share Posted April 5, 2018 I knew I was different from a very young age. I didn't fully process what until I was in my teens. Sometimes it is an awareness from early on but it's much more complicated than that. I find people who say things like "I knew so and so was gay from kindergarten" to be incredibly patronizing and I think people who push and push for litmus tests at very young ages will create changes in society that they will regret (I feel the same way about "born this way" but that's a whole other can of worms). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted April 5, 2018 Members Share Posted April 5, 2018 I think what she was meaning is that he hasn't developed his emotional/sexual attraction... But the too young to be gay comment just sat wrong with me. All children have a sexuality but this seems to be ignored except by assuming kids are straight. As a teacher, in a former life, I had colleagues saying things to kids like 'when you have a boyfriend/girlfriend, get married,have children' etc which I found annoying and toxic. A boy like Mark,who dresses in clothes identified with the opposite gender, may be gay/straight or whatever but to label him by that behaviour is not necessary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted April 5, 2018 Members Share Posted April 5, 2018 I finally watched the first two episodes and really, really enjoyed them. The whole group, especially Roseanne and John Goodman, just fell right back into the characters, and the writing for Dan and Roseanne is as close to the original show's heyday as you could possibly get. Speaking only from my own experience and what I see with the kids I teach on a daily basis (high school, basically all grade levels, so 14-18 years old), it's silly as hell to say that Mark is "too young" to know to what he is emotionally or sexually attracted. If anything, he's too young to know which of the prefab labels he'll feel most comfortable claiming for himself in adolescence and adulthood. I knew I liked boys before I knew what "gay" meant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
