Members Gray Bunny Posted October 29, 2020 Members Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) I love that this show continues! HOWEVER... That said, this "sitcom" is really more of a drama nowadays. It's downright sad at some points. "Roseanne" was a show about life and laughs through the ups and downs. The Conners focuses too heavily on the economics of their situation and makes way too many jabs at their own poor existence. They've got to find a better balance. Sara Gilbert shouldn't have to shed tears EVERY episode. Edited October 29, 2020 by Gray Bunny 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted November 7, 2020 Members Share Posted November 7, 2020 Agreed. The dialogue is often so clunky and preachy. The acting is fine, but maybe they should hire a couple of new writers to snap up the dialogue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted December 9, 2020 Members Share Posted December 9, 2020 I find even during Roseanne's season 10 and it's still true... the show lost a degree of spontaneity, the lines are "performed" and don't appear as natural. Poor Roseanne, she seems to be descending into madness on her recent podcasts. I just ran across this again, and damn... I know your'e not supposed to laugh at the mentally ill, but this is comedy gold that just never gets old. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paul Raven Posted April 13, 2021 Members Share Posted April 13, 2021 Anyone else finding the recent episodes a little lacklustre? I was trying to figure out why and then realized that they are not taping before an audience? There has been no voiceover announcement indicating that recently. If that's the case it may explain why the timing off jokes seems a little off as they are probably so used to responding to audience reaction. Is it the case that they would do the show twice and edit the best scenes together? Also the storylines are getting a little bleak with Becky back on the booze, Darlene's friend and Ben's dad dying, COVID and them constantly facing financial ruin. Maybe just some fun light stuff to balance it out? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted April 22, 2021 Members Share Posted April 22, 2021 Lecy has killed it on this show. I really need to catch up, I just got lost amidst COVID. I'll have to do that next, I'm glad it's going strong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
