She's just so nagging, but the complete opposite of Roseanne. She seems passive-aggressive and it's mind-boggling to see her in a relationship with that guy, lol! He seems like the kind of person who would take all his sh*t and leave.

Maybe Darlene will have a coming out story which might explain her nag, nag, nag behavior. Maybe once she comes out of the closet, she'll be back to being a cool character.

I felt the writing was stronger in the final stretch and would be happy to see it back for another season.

In light of all the budget issues, they could do some cast cutting. Send Mark off to college with some guest appearances and I'd seriously consider making John Goodman recurring.

He seems to be referencing the teleprompter with every line reading, so he must be struggling.

Move the action to Darlene's house and the Lunchbox. Dan could make limited appearances.

PD Why was DJ's daughter maintained in the credits? She was never on.

Suggestion that'll never happen: 

Do one more season. On the series finale of The Conners, after a round-the-table shot of everyone having a big family dinner, we fade back to Roseanne Conner in the basement, once again doing her writing. It turns out Dan is still dead and everything we saw on The Conners was just Roseanne's writing for a novel that'll never be published.

The end.

Oh, that was the actual finale? I watched it, but I didn't really think anything about it, lol! I need to rewatch again. 

^^Good ending thought/post.

    • But how is it "apparent" that she signed a new 3-year contract? Your wording had a voice of authority -- as if you knew it was true. A better way to post about it? Say you read online that she signed a new contract, but have no idea if that's true.
    • This interview actually reminds me a bit of Kim Zimmer’s press during the infamous clone storyline on Guiding Light, or Deidre Hall during the possession story on Days. All three were seasoned daytime veterans who made it clear they valued airtime for their characters, not just being part of a romantic pairing. It seems that idea was part of the pitch behind these bigger-than-life plots. They all took big swings in their performances. When I read Kim Zimmer’s memoir, I thought she captured it best — she wanted to be respected for being willing to take those risks. To paraphrase her, she knew it was ridiculous for Reva to think she was pregnant after menopause, but she still threw herself into those scenes and made them real. That’s what really struck me about Victoria Wyndham’s interview too. She responded like a real person. It felt like she was telling Michael Logan that she knew Justine — and a geriatric pregnancy with twins — was totally preposterous, but that she still deserved credit for trying to keep the show alive and entertain the audience. And honestly, I think that's more than fair. Logan is looking for a reductive answer for who is to blame.  And, she's telling him to accept that they were all well-meaning.  Which is not a defense of bad storytelling.  But, I understand that she's frustrated because she interpreted Logan's critique as a lack of commitment, and she wants him to know that she was committed! (maybe not for the best, but committed).
    • Fine, you only had to say so. It's not a problem to me NOT to post this. I have no idea what this means. 
    • Oh, really? I think we're really getting close.  What does "apparently" mean to you? To me, it means that this is something I think has happened but not something I absolutely positively know to have happened. When I use a word like "apparently" as I have here, I am doing so by intent. Can you think of a better way to communicate that?
    • Wow...I was not expecting a montage.   I know SilkPress did not!!! Poor Eva.  Lol. Funnily enough I missed that.     
    • For the record, VW thought having the twins at their ages was absurd & who wanted that story, was some group of fans, who wanted her & Carl to have a chance at having children together. Not any fans that I knew of, but supposedly they existed. 
    • Brandon Tartikoff saved NBC primetime. Brandon Stoddard got ABC Tuesday to rebound and put an end to the Aaron Spelling hit factory.
    • Awwwww Brad. I know I shouldn't, but I feel bad for him

      And yeah, agreed that Dante having animosity towards Gio is very forced and contrived. And it also has me concerned that it means the reveal won't be happening anytime soon.
    • God, I love that woman. Another amazing interview!!
    • We can only guestimate based on other characters. Chelsea was said to be 23 in the first episodee and based on Marttin wanting to run for President in the next election, he's about 30/31. Eva and and Kat are somewhere between that  so Id say closer to 25 or 26
