Roseanne	comment	A popular sitcom that ran from 1988 to 1997 and in 2018 on ABC, focusing on the trials of the working-class Conner family of Lanford, Illinois. It was beloved for its realistic portrayal of the average American family.There was mother Roseanne (Roseanne Barr); father Dan (John Goodman in the role that made him famous); preppy daughter Becky (originally played by Lecy Goranson, and taken over — repeatedly — by Sarah Chalke, in one of the most famous instances of The Other Darrin outside of Darrin himself); sarcastic daughter Darlene (Sara Gilbert); son D.J. (Michael Fishman); and Roseanne's younger sister Jackie (Laurie Metcalf).Probably the Trope Codifier for the Dysfunctional Family on American TV, sharing the title with Married... with Children. The Conners were generally stable but were still prone to dealing with domestic arguments, problematic neighbors, daughters who seemed to like bad boys and taking in a kid whose home life was far worse than theirs. The Healy brothers, Mark (Glenn Quinn) and David (Johnny Galecki) were added to the show as long-time boyfriends to Becky and Darlene, eventually marrying them. The show was also noted for a welcome subversion to the Ugly Guy, Hot Wife rule.Famously—or perhaps infamously—the final season of the show's original run dramatically changed things by seeing the Conners escape their wage-slave working class existence when they won the lottery. At the same time, John Goodman (Dan) had reduced availability, leading to his character awkwardly Commuting on a Bus. These drastic changes to the flavor of the show led to a sharp decline in ratings and the program's eventual cancellation, culminating in a series finale that for decades was rated one of the most shocking endings in television history.In 2017 it was announced that most of the cast (including Goodman, returning to full-time duty) was reuniting for a revival, consisting of an eight-episode season that later increased to nine, and then ten. It premiered on ABC on March 27, 2018. This revival chose to disregard the original ninth season entirely and return to the original household structure, taking a Broad Strokes approach to previous continuity.The ratings for the revival's premiere were so highnote it got more viewers than the original series finale over two decades earlier — which is remarkable considering the exodus of viewers from network television in the interim that it was renewed for a second season two days later. However, the revival was cancelled on May 29th, 2018, after Barr made racist tweets comparing Valerie Jarrett, a black Obama Administration official, to an ape, on top of multiple previous controversial remarks.Eventually, ABC announced their intention to build an aftershow spinoff without Roseanne, titled The Conners. It was greenlit on June 21, 2018, and premiered on October 16 of that year. Roseanne's absence was accounted for by having her killed off-screen following the revival season's storyline where the Roseanne character had been struggling with knee pain, an upcoming surgery, and opiate addiction.

Roseanne / int_1ae27a74	comment	In "It's No Place Like Home for the Holidays" (season 5, episode 12), we meet Mark and David's little sisters: Lisa Healy (played by Clara Bryant) and Nicki Healy (played by Sarah Freeman). We never see or hear of them ever again, not even when David's subsequently "adopted" by the Conners in "It's a Boy" (season 5, episode 19). Considering the reason David's taken in is because of their mother's physical and psychological abuse... Poor Lisa and Nicki's disappearance probably qualifies as What Happened to the Mouse?, but not even fans seem to remember them! They do get mentioned when David tells Darlene his parents are getting divorced; his father takes them with him. Since their scene in the holiday episode is removed in syndication, for many fans this one sentence is the only acknowledgement they even existed.

She becomes more of The Ghost up until the end of the series, where she actually has one last appearance during Roseanne's baby shower. Why neither she nor Dan's father appear at later notable events like their granddaughter/honorary niece Darlene's wedding or following the Conners' lottery win is a mystery. At one point during Darlene's wedding, Dan mentions that he hasn't spoken to his father in two years.

Andy himself rarely did anything but be carried around and wasn't given a lot of "aww, cute" focus like toddlers in some sitcoms, and Jerry was even more out of focus. Had the show continued longer one or both might have aged into more cutesy characters.

Roseanne / int_20989d05	type	Parents as People
Roseanne / int_20989d05	comment	Parents as People: Roseanne is likely one of the greatest examples of this trope in television history, or at the very least a Trope Codifier. The show pulled no punches about the difficulties and drudgery of parenthood, with Dan and Roseanne openly expressing their frustrations about raising three children on an extremely limited income. The writers also made it clear that while the two did love their kids, their parenting style left a lot to be desired and caused a good deal of problems, too. Even Jackie got to explore this trope after she had a child of her own—in one episode, she discovers that Fred (the baby's father) is doing all kinds of exciting things, and she remarks that she feels trapped: she wants to live her life, too, but she also feels obligated to spend all of her time with the baby. Dan and Roseanne's own parents were also shown as flawed individuals. Roseanne and Jackie's father Al was physically and emotionally abusive, while their mother Bev was an Extreme Doormat who never stood up for them and later became a meddlesome, shrill nuisance (although it was shown that she did genuinely love them). Dan's own father, Ed, was a traveling salesman who was never there for him—something Dan resents well into his adult years—but we later learn there was a reason for that: Audrey, Dan's mother and Ed's wife, was severely mentally ill, and Ed had to do his best to keep the family afloat while keeping her condition a secret from his son.

Roseanne / int_2af6bbeb	type	Break the Haughty
Roseanne / int_2af6bbeb	comment	Break the Haughty: Darlene gets hit with this hard in Season 7. For years she was the ultimate deadpan snarker, constantly belittling everyone from her family members to her boyfriends. It was mostly treated for laughs, but the repercussions of her actions really hit her hard after she breaks up with David. First the guy she left him for leaves her due to her poor treatment of him, her family gets angry at her for turning down a lucrative job that would have set her up for life, and David tells her (with prompting from Becky) that he believes that they never really connected, which devastates Darlene. It all culminates in the episode where she does get back together with David, and she tearfully tells him how she feels, in probably what could be her most vulnerable moment in the entire series. This was also directly addressed by Roseanne when Darlene wonders why her siblings and father are so upset by her usual snarking. When she was living in the house, her snarking came across like they were all in it together and were merely dealing with humor. However, after she left for college and had job opportunities (including one specific opportunity for a $30,000 salary job, which she turned down), and then also continued asking for financial help from her family, Roseanne pointed out that she seemed like 'one of them', with a superior attitude and her snarking came across as mean-spirited and condescending instead of affectionate. Becky gets this to a point, too. Early in the series, she gets good grades and, when she's not being the Bratty Teenage Daughter, does most of the chores and takes care of her younger siblings. She believes she's on track to go to college and get out of Lanford, until the bike shop runs into trouble. Through a series of bad choices (based as much on her attitude and rebellion against her family as circumstances), she ends up living in a trailer park and working at Buns, a Hooters-style restaurant. Becky gets a more immediate example of it in the season two opener, "Inherit the Wind," in which she hides out at home after accidentally breaking wind during her speech to the student council. Darlene in particular rubs salt into Becky's wounds, crowing, "I've been waiting for something like this to happen since I was two!" Becky kind of deserves it after having been such a Jerkass to Darlene at the beginning of the episode for no reason (and without provocation).

Roseanne / int_2dc0d2bf	comment	A particularly bad example happened with Mark. Originally a leather-jacket-clad greaser bad boy who wasn't booksmart, but always seemed sharp and was shown to be even better than Dan at fixing motorcycles. After marrying Becky and returning to the show he became an idiotic dope/manchild who routinely shocked the rest of the characters with his lack of sense. Only when teaching David how to tie a bowtie before the latter's wedding at the end of Season 8 did Mark's original stoic, streetsmart bad-boy persona get one last moment in the spotlight. There was one other moment, though, which showed some Hidden Depths as well. Becky becomes frustrated at living in a trailer and begins to look at going back to school. Mark is against it since they were planning to start a family and tells Roseanne to butt out. However, as the episode wears on, Mark tells Roseanne about how Becky is making all these decisions without him and he's afraid she's going to outgrow him, ending the episode by asking Roseanne how many doctors are married to mechanics, and sarcastically congratulating her on getting a doctor in the family and getting rid of him at the same time. It shows him as a vulnerable man scared he's losing the woman he loves instead of the chauvinistic pig he'd been before.

Roseanne and the girls quickly get tired of caring for him because he complains about everything (the blanket Roseanne brings him is too itchy, the scrambled eggs are too soft, the next scrambled eggs are too hard, his soup doesn't have enough noodles, the next bowl has too many noodles...). Though the business with the eggs turned out to be Dan annoying the girls for kicks despite feeling better.

In the first seasons, Darlene was a sports-obsessed tomboy who always had her hair tied back into a tight braid to give a boyish appearance. But the moment she started going through puberty she let her hair down, started avoiding sports all together, and abandoned all of her friends to become a Deadpan Snarker. This was discussed and pointed out frequently, as her family members tried to understand the change in her.

Roseanne / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: Roseanne's father, Al Harris, played by John Randolph, appeared in a couple of episodes in the first two seasons, and seemed to be just a jovial old man with whom Roseanne and Jackie had a fairly warm relationship, especially in comparison to their neurotic mother. It was later revealed in season four that Al Harris was physically abusive toward his daughters and cheated on his wife for 20 years. Once this revelation dropped he never appeared in the show again and died off-screen in the fifth season. Every subsequent mention of him depicts him as a terrible father. David was called "Kevin" during his first appearance in season four. Lampshaded in season six when Roseanne says that "David's not even his real name, Darlene made it up". In the first Thanksgiving episode in season 2, Dan's mother Audrey appears, played by Ann Wedgeworth, and is shown to be a relatively "normal" person with her and Dan's father Ed being more or less amicably divorced. Later seasons would have her played by Debbie Reynolds and completely change her character and her relationship with her son and ex-husband, turning her into a mentally unstable woman who was constantly in and out of mental hospitals. Dan's father did what he could to shield his son from his mother's problems but was often gone for long periods of time for his job as a salesman and this put a strain on his relationship with his son. Dan would eventually put his mother up on a pedestal and blame his father for every problem he and his mother had when he was a child. The earliest appearances of Arnie (Tom Arnold's character) portrayed him as just another one of Dan's friends, with Roseanne and Jackie not really knowing much about him. Later episodes would portray him as someone they went to high school with and thought was incredibly stupid, to the point they made a vow to never sleep with him, so he wouldn't procreate.

Roseanne / int_54bb502b	comment	Nobody Poops: Completely averted. Roseanne probably had one of the most visible bathrooms on television. Characters were shown in the tub, dyeing their hair, getting high, brushing teeth, and even taking a pregnancy test. An entire episode focused around D.J.'s new-found love of the bathroom. In fact, the show had three bathrooms. Becky and Darlene's bathroom upstairs, where Darlene dyed her hair and Becky had her first hangover, D.J.'s bathroom, where Darlene saw Jackie with her bruises after Fisher beat her, and the downstairs bathroom, where most of the show's insanity occured (it was used frequently as a safe haven to gossip and hide from everyone else, such as when Roseanne and Jackie were gossiping about their parents.) These people were supposed to be poor, right? And yet, it took about six seasons before Roseanne finally got the dishwasher she'd been asking him to install since the beginning of the series. The Cobbler's Children Have No Shoes: Roseanne frequently asked Dan to build or install various things for her (the dishwasher, built-in shelves, an ironing board in the wall, etc.) He constantly put them off; however, when he was renovating the house he hoped to flip for profit, he added them all in. Roseanne said it felt like he was cheating on their house with another one.

Roseanne / int_562abd51	comment	Let's Get Dangerous!: The fallout of Jackie's relationship with Fisher is mostly centered on her and Roseanne (and, to a lesser extent, Darlene) as they discover the bruises and have to deal with both the domestic abuse and the idiosyncrasies of their own sisterhood. Roseanne convinces Jackie to see a doctor and tells Dan they're going to the hospital. They go, and Dan is left to his own devices. And then he silently gets his coat and leaves through the back door. It may well be the most intense and subtle pre-asskicking declaration in sitcom history. Followed by some of the funniest dialogue in the series. Darlene has to bail Dan out of jail, their friends all show up ("What is this, Mayberry?"), and Jackie confronts Dan.

The closest we ever get to Nancy addressing this was her telling Roseanne not to label her, and at no point is the word "bisexual" ever even suggested as a possibility (it was more implied Nancy was choosing to be strictly straight or strictly lesbian, and never both at the same time).

By the time she has bought into her own media hype, it all but beats you over the head with its self-indulgence. The final episode proves it's also an in-universe example, as Roseanne reveals that the entire series was the book she's been writing in her office in the basement, and the self-indulgence the show descended into is her way of escaping from and fixing the things she felt were out of place in her life, but out of her control.

Any use of copyrighted music was removed or dubbed over with generic music, and any credits sequences featuring music or celebrity cameos were replaced with generic credits. Most infamously, this meant the removal of a parody of the theme from The Patty Duke Show lampshading the fact that two actresses alternated between the role of Becky. This sequence can still be seen on TV airings. When all the seasons were re-released, the only music that was restored was the various uses of "When You Wish Upon a Star" (both the actual song and characters singing or chanting it) in the two Disney World episodes.

Roseanne / int_6ae4dedd	type	The Unfair Sex
Roseanne / int_6ae4dedd	comment	The Unfair Sex: Roseanne is often verbally and emotionally abusive to Dan. She belittles him and often denies him the chance to father the kids (which those kids need). Not that Dan is much better, given the chance; their whole family is situated at Dysfunction Junction, after all. In the first season episode "Radio Days", George Clooney's character is ogled and wolf-whistled by a factory full of women when he bends over and shortly thereafter has his ass slapped by Jackie. Needless to say, if it were a room full of men doing that to a woman, it would've been decried as sexual harassment. Unlike most sitcoms, there was an episode that dealt with this. When D.J. started dating, the first girl he went out with bossed him around and treated him like dirt, and he did nothing to stop it. Roseanne saw it and was forced to accept that it was because he thought this was perfectly acceptable, since he grew up watching Roseanne and Darlene step all over Dan and David respectively. After the girl basically bosses D.J. into going to Chicago with her without permission, Dan and Roseanne actually sit him down and explain that it is not okay for him to let someone control his life like that, and he needs to break it off with a girl if she tries it. Naturally, after the talk is over, Roseanne refuses to practice what she preaches and keeps treating Dan the same way she always does. However, David later reveals the real reason D.J. is dating her is because she slips him the tongue. Of course, he's not gonna tell his parents that. Another episode talked about this. Jackie went on a date (although nothing sexual happened) with another man while she was married to Fred. When they separated for a few days, Roseanne made it her priority to get Fred to move back into the house and pull Jackie out of her depression (by telling her it wasn't her fault). When Dan saw how hurt Fred was at this betrayal of trust, he confronted Roseanne for blaming everyone except Jackie for what she did. Darlene is also no slouch in this department. Ironically, it's often Roseanne who ends up reminding her to tell David she does really love him every now and then.

In the final episode, it's revealed that the entire series has been based on a semi-autobiographical story she's been writing in the office. In the story, she's changed a number of details about her life that she didn't like, while in reality, Dan actually died from his heart attack during Darlene's wedding; Darlene actually married Mark, while Becky married David; her sister, rather than her mother, was a lesbian; and Roseanne didn't win the lottery. This is seen by some fans as brilliant, but by others as a desperate attempt at a Retcon to justify some of the series' poorly-received plot lines (particularly in latter seasons). So it's not entirely played straight, but Not a Subversion either.

That's where winning the lottery came from. "Real life wrote the gag" in "The Test," the opening episode of Season 3 (1990-91), with this line that referenced Roseanne Barr's controversial U.S. National Anthem performance at a baseball game in July 1990: Later lampshaded in "Home Ec" when Darlene and her classmates point out a woman who's on the cover of all the gossip magazines. Season 4's breast reduction episode, after Roseanne had her breasts reduced. Originally Laurie Metcalf was scheduled to give birth to her real-life child between seasons. However, her baby bump became impossible to disguise (despite some truly heroic efforts to do so), so Jackie's "surprise" pregnancy had to be hastily written into the plot.

After Darlene tells Dan and Roseanne, they're trying to sort out how to talk to Becky about it. Dan cracks up, hard, and Roseanne is also trying hard not to laugh, while berating Dan. The second incident happens in Season 5's "Crime and Punishment." Dan has been called to DJ's school to discuss some "obscene reading material" DJ brought. It's a comic Darlene wrote. When Dan shows Roseanne, he's appalled. Roseanne laughs unexpectedly and says "That was a funny part." Season 4, "The Back Story": Becky mentions that she's been moved up to the express lane in her job as a grocery checkout clerk, and Jackie's impressed, saying this must mean her bosses have confidence in her abilities. When DJ is watching Gilligan's Island on TV and gives Gilligan the finger, Dan goes to look, barely containing his laughter. When admonished off camera by Roseanne, Dan protests "well he's the reason they're still stuck on that island". Leon is horrified when he sees that Roseanne put together his wedding with "every gay stereotype known to man," while Scott comes in and thinks it's hilarious.

Roseanne / int_808cbaeb	comment	Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: One episode features an inversion. Jackie is upset that she's done something she regrets, but won't spill the beans. To try to get her to open up and tell them, everybody else starts talking about bad things they've done. They're all very forgiving when Roseanne mentions pledging (but never donating) a huge amount of money to a telethon just to hear Jerry Lewis say her name on TV and when Bonnie reveals she and her husband once robbed a liquor store. However, when Jackie announces that she slept with Arnie, everybody else is disgusted and outraged (apparently in high school, they all took a blood oath and promised he would never be allowed to breed). In fact, when Roseanne realizes, "She will forever be known as the woman whose sister slept with Arnie," everybody ignores Jackie and starts to comfort Roseanne. Sleeping with Arnie was just that unforgivable. The list of complaints lobbied against her former husband by Bev goes from jaywalking back to arson: "He was rude to my children, cheated on me, had horrible table manners and made me drive an old car with bald tires!" Subverted when one considers that bald tires are much more likely to blow out, so that last one was a legitimate danger to Bev's life. In "A Stash from the Past," Jackie is horrified to discover Dan and Roseanne preparing to get high:

In a later episode, Roseanne remarks facetiously that "David" is just a name Darlene gave him and not his real one. The name change is especially odd because although rarely used, "David Jacob" was already DJ's full name. In one episode one of his sisters actually just called him "David!" while yelling at him.

Considering Roseanne's attitude towards the human race in general, it's not hard to believe that the other neighbours just broke off contact.

Roseanne / int_88933ad4	type	Parental Favoritism
Roseanne / int_88933ad4	comment	Parental Favoritism: Played straight and inverted. One episode directly dealt with the fact that each parent had a "favorite" daughter. Roseanne favored the more girly Becky while Dan favored athletic, sporty Darlene. Deliberate attempts to reverse this ended badly. Roseanne, though, mentions in season four's "The Back Story" that her favorite child is D.J. On the other side of this, Roseanne and Jackie each developed a favorite parent. While in their parents' first appearance, the girls seem equally irritated by both of them, later on, Roseanne began to favor their mother slightly since their father was physically abusive and unfaithful; whereas Jackie defended their father, saying he was doing the best he could in a bad situation, while absolutely despising their shrill, controlling, judgmental mother, one time genuinely hoping that dropping the news she was unmarried and pregnant would kill her, and telling Fred that he could only refer to her either as "Bev" or "Sea Hag." Bev seems to favor Roseanne over Jackie, but one episode deals with this in depth. When she saw the way the two acted as children, she saw much more potential in Jackie, and believed she would be a highly successful professional instead of floating from one mediocre job to another. However, she always saw Roseanne as being a wife and mother, and is happy for her for achieving that. She had high hopes for Jackie and sees her as a disappointment, but is proud of Roseanne for exceeding her (lower) expectations. When this is revealed, both Roseanne and Jackie feel like they got a raw deal out of it (especially Roseanne). David Healy actually became this to Roseanne even though he isn't her son. She actually admits she might actually like him more then Darlene.

Dan, though, thinks his "nice guy" act is a facade, saying that Ed was constantly away from home when he was a child and that his gift-giving is just an attempt to buy his family's affections to make up for his absences. It's ultimately revealed that Dan is in the wrong, and that Ed's kindnesses are genuine, but Dan refuses to see things that way, creating tension between the two that is never truly resolved. Furthermore, many of Ed's long stints away from home were attempts to cover up his wife's severe mental illnesses, which Dan never knew about.

Roseanne / int_9952b10b	comment	Re-Release Soundtrack: When Roseanne was first released on DVD by Anchor Bay Entertainment, the final two season sets suffered from this. Any use of copyrighted music was removed or dubbed over with generic music, and any credits sequences featuring music or celebrity cameos were replaced with generic white-on-black credits. Most infamously, this included replacing the credits of the Season 8 premiere, which was a parody of the opening from The Patty Duke Show lampshading the fact that two actresses alternated between the role of Becky. This sequence can still be seen in syndicated airings. Another memorable credits sequence that was replaced included a black-and-white scene of Roseanne's mother Beverly covering Billie Holiday's "Lover Man (Oh, Where Can You Be?)" from the Season 9 episode "Someday My Prince Will Come". In the two-part Disney World episode, the various uses of "When You Wish Upon a Star" were all replaced. When David sadly sings it to himself when he thinks he's not invited on the trip, he is dubbed over with a canned audience "aww". When Roseanne leads the family in a military cadence-style chant of the lyrics on their way to the park, they're dubbed over with the show's typical scene change music. The various uses of the original song played over the family enjoying the park were replaced with the 1812 Overture. When all seasons were re-released by Mill Creek Entertainment, this episode was the only one to have its original music restored; the rest of the replacements from the Anchor Bay release carried over to the Mill Creek sets.

Roseanne / int_9d12bbc1	type	Foreshadowing
Roseanne / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: The episode "Ladies Choice" becomes funnier after Bev comes out in the final season. Granted, it was all part of Roseanne's book, but still. Outside of Roseanne's stories, Jackie did come out as a lesbian, and looking back, there are quite a few (probably unintentional) references. Aside from picking traditionally masculine jobs as a police officer and trucker (and remembering that Roseanne did make use of gay stereotypes quite frequently), there were frequent jokes about it. When Nancy came out to Roseanne and Jackie, they mentioned that she didn't act it, since she wasn't a flannel-wearing trucker (Jackie was wearing flannel at the time, and had been a trucker), and during her wedding Jackie said to Dan that if she didn't know there were nice guys like Dan in the world, she'd have given up on men a long time ago. In a couple of episodes before the Reveal that Fisher is abusing Jackie, he gives off some minor hints of his behavior by telling Jackie that she should stop seeing her therapist and she should spend less time with her family: commonplace signs of what is really going on in their relationship. Also, in one episode of the final season, Roseanne is talking to Jerry as she's feeding him. She talks about the more bizarre things happening, and then says, "It's almost like some crazy lady made it all up." In season 2's "House of Grown Ups" episode, Roseanne says "Darlene's practically dating, and at this rate, Becky's gonna be married." The always boy-crazy Becky was barely 17 when she got married. Seasons one and two are full of subtle nods to Dan and his health, particularly his heart, and most of them are casual throwaway jokes. After a discussion of Crystal's late husband Roseanne jokingly wonders aloud what would have happened if Dan had lived, Bev nags him about not sleeping on his side because it's bad for his heart, and so on. Of course it's not out of place, Dan's a big guy and he and his wife are both overweight. And then we find out that Dan didn't actually survive his heart attack. "Brain Dead Poet's Society" has Roseanne talking about how Darlene could be a really good writer, and Darlene's supposed "joke" of a poem being really moving and well-written. Flash forward to her high school years, where Darlene would write many short stories as well as co-create a comic with David. She even tested out of high school to go to college early on a writing scholarship. In the Disney World two-parter, Roseanne jokingly suggests that she and Dan cash out his life insurance policy to go on a cruise. Dan smiles and says "I don't think that's such a good idea." It turns out he's right... In the series finale, Becky snatches a pizza away from DJ and starts wolfing it down. At everyone's astonished look, she defensively mutters that she's hungry. A few scenes later, we learn she's pregnant. When Roseanne and Jackie visits Darlene while she was dating Jimmy, Roseanne takes every opportunity to insult him. In the end, he has enough of it and demands some respect, to which Darlene and her mother simply laugh. It's not surprising that he would eventually dump Darlene for being a jerk to him.

Roseanne / int_9dab0a6e	comment	Continuity Nod : In Season one, Roseanne describes her method of bill-paying, which includes not signing the check and putting the wrong check in the wrong envelope and telling the utility company the bill never came. In Season 4, she forgets to sign the check for the mortgage payment (and claims to have a flat tire on the way to the bank), and makes a similar excuse to the electric company in Season 5. In Season 4's "Why Jackie Becomes a Trucker" episode, Roseanne goes out with Jackie and her other girlfriends. They suggest making girls' night out a weekly thing. Someone says "We could go bowling, or go to bingo." In Episodes 1 and 14 of Season 4, the girls do these two things. Around the middle of S4, Arnie says he was visited by aliens. At the end of Season 4 he's abducted by aliens (although no one believes it). And then much later, he returns to try and take Nancy on the space ship. One of DJ's excuses for not doing his homework is he's got extra responsibility since Dan "died." Later, when Dan is called to talk to DJ's principal, they're surprised to see him because they all think he died. See Harsher in Hindsight for the later implications.

Becky and Darlene's bathroom upstairs, where Darlene dyed her hair and Becky had her first hangover, D.J.'s bathroom, where Darlene saw Jackie with her bruises after Fisher beat her, and the downstairs bathroom, where most of the show's insanity occured (it was used frequently as a safe haven to gossip and hide from everyone else, such as when Roseanne and Jackie were gossiping about their parents.) These people were supposed to be poor, right? And yet, it took about six seasons before Roseanne finally got the dishwasher she'd been asking him to install since the beginning of the series. The Cobbler's Children Have No Shoes: Roseanne frequently asked Dan to build or install various things for her (the dishwasher, built-in shelves, an ironing board in the wall, etc.) He constantly put them off; however, when he was renovating the house he hoped to flip for profit, he added them all in. Roseanne said it felt like he was cheating on their house with another one.

The ridiculous costume for starters, and her boss Leon seemed to enjoy making them suffer; when the restaurant finally went under, he told them that management had phased out those horrible uniforms years before. Leon himself said he hated the place as well. When the diner was shut down, on their last day, they had a toast in which he said, "We're not standing in the parking lot watching the place burn, but this is nice, too." Becky, though, was initially distressed not that her mother would be working as a waitress, but that she'd be working in one of her favorite hangouts.

Every time he's shown, though, he is wonderful and kind to the entire cast, and never once, not even to his new wife, does he seem bad. This was on purpose, and not played for laughs. His onscreen behavior was the biggest part of Dan's loathing. His complaint was that his father was always gone and put his work before his family. His doting father "routine" when he was around was, in Dan's mind, one big cover for the fact that he didn't give a crap about his family and would buy them off with gifts in the minimal time he spent with them. Then again, a lot of the behavior that Dan interpreted as neglectful turned out to be a result of his father's attempts to shield his family from his wife's chronic mental illness.

It's implied in the first episode that she wrote a story about Dan dying, though. One thing that was apparently not retconned from the original finale, however, was Roseanne's mother Bev actually being straight rather then a lesbian: in one episode, she introduces Roseanne and Jackie to her boyfriend Lou (played by Christopher Lloyd). Eventually, everything from early season 6 on was basically declared non-canon.

However, there were certain topics that were never the subject of jokes, and lines that even Roseanne wouldn't cross. Jackie's abuse at the hands of her boyfriend Fisher drove Roseanne into a genuinely fearful panic, and set the typically calm Dan on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge that ended with him in jail. When DJ refuses to kiss a girl a school play because she's Black, Roseanne tells him in no uncertain terms that she won't tolerate him being racist, and furthermore says that anyone who disrespects Black people is an embarrassment to "respectable" white trash like them. Played for Laughs with one episode where Roseanne and Bonnie confess dark secrets like falsely promising a donation to a telethon and robbing a liquor store. Jackie then reveals something so horrible that even the hardest of the group thinks it's hideous—she slept with Arnie.

At least one of those surgeries was explicitly worked into the show's plot, namely her breast reduction. Others, such as Roseanne Barr's weight-loss surgeries were also addressed (specificially in a throwaway line where Roseanne said she has lost quite a bit of weight working in the diner and being around food so much, it now makes her queasy.) Like pregnancy, it was convenient to do so, being a necessary surgery in real life as well as on the show. The others weren't. Slightly reversed and played with in-series with Dan, who's Gentle Giant Nice Guy nature draws in a lot of women, including Jackie and Crystal. Being played by John Goodman certainly helps as well.

To punish D.J. for skipping school, she walked him to school wearing patched overalls and plaid shirt with a straw hat sporting a sunflower.

In the end, they get their weekend to themselves... by shipping Becky and Darlene off to Bev's for the weekend. The very end of the episode lets us hear Dan suggesting vacation slides, and making Darlene sing show tunes. After D.J. pulls a prank on Darlene, Roseanne asks Darlene how he should be punished. Darlene suggets that D.J. wear a suit and tie to school the next day. They actually go through with the punishment, but Roseanne says she would have made him wear a dress (it was too late for Darlene since she only got one wish).

Roseanne / int_c0e3994b	comment	Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male : One running gag is Roseanne hitting Dan in the back of the head with a frying pan. Darlene's frequent bullying (while offscreen) of DJ is sometimes physical. And at the end of "Looking for Loans in All the Wrong Places," Darlene (again offscreen) hurts David for peeping at Molly. Discussed in "Crime and Punishment." Although Dan retaliates against Fisher for beating up Jackie, DJ hasn't learned of this yet, and brings it up without provocation. It's later deconstructed in another episode when D.J. gets his first girlfriend, who proves to be a mean-spirited bully who pushes him around all the time. When Dan and Roseanne find out, he innocently explains that the way the girl treats him is what he's seen all his life, so he thinks it's natural, prompting some soul-searching.

After David and Darlene divorced and David abandoned his ex-wife and children for a couple years, Dan had effectively lost all respect for his former son-in-law. Even when David tries to join his kids' lives again, Dan refuses to allow David to even see his children until he's actually moved back into town, and even then, he makes it obvious he's not happy even allowing that.

When David tries to come back and make amends, Dan refuses to allow David to even see his children until he's actually moved back into Lanford. This is very likely due to David's behavior striking a major nerve with Dan, as Dan's father also estranged himself from his wife and son, and then proceeded to show up sporadically, pretend he was a great dad for a few days, before leaving again. As a result, Dan refuses to allow David to even try pulling the same stunt, even unintentionally.

Roseanne / int_c9e20e01	comment	Unexpected Kindness: In "Wait 'Til Your Father Gets Home," Roseanne and Jackie's father Al dies, and the family prepares for the funeral. Part of the preparations involve Al's wife Bev meeting Joan, his mistress of twenty years, for the first time. After delivering a scathing "The Reason You Suck" Speech, Bev surprisingly offers to sell Joan the burial plot that she purchased next to Al's years ago: "You love him so much, you spend eternity next to him." There's no trickery on Bev's part, either—she's genuinely offering Joan the plot as a kindness. The trope is deconstructed with Dan's father Ed. He brings the family expensive presents whenever he visits and is generally a warm, caring man. Dan, though, thinks his "nice guy" act is a facade, saying that Ed was constantly away from home when he was a child and that his gift-giving is just an attempt to buy his family's affections to make up for his absences. It's ultimately revealed that Dan is in the wrong, and that Ed's kindnesses are genuine, but Dan refuses to see things that way, creating tension between the two that is never truly resolved. Furthermore, many of Ed's long stints away from home were attempts to cover up his wife's severe mental illnesses, which Dan never knew about.

Roseanne / int_d52d28b6	comment	Hypocrite: Multiple times during the show Roseanne claims she has no problem with homosexuality, and even says outright if any of her children were gay she would still love and accept them without question ... fast-forward to the final episode where Roseanne reveals her sister, Jackie, is gay and admits she's never been able to truly accept it, preferring to think Jackie would be happier with a man. In the episode "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", Roseanne agrees to go to a gay bar with Nancy and Nancy's new girlfriend Marla. Roseanne drags Jackie along too and mocks Jackie for her unease at being at the bar, and not wanting anyone to hit on her. Later on, Marla hits on and kisses Roseanne. It becomes immediately apparent that, despite her attitude earlier, Roseanne is uncomfortable with this (she wipes her mouth on her sleeve the second she is out of Marla's view) and lashes out at Jackie - particularly shrieking "I am not gay!" - after the latter teases Roseanne. This discussion is overheard by Nancy, who calls Roseanne out for wanting to look cool by going to the gay bar but not being ok with something as innocuous as a kiss from a woman who made no further advances on Roseanne. Not that her supposed acceptance stopped her from making jokes about Leon and Nancy's sexual orientations. In the revival, Roseanne gets called out on her viewpoint that "a woman's body is her own and she can do with it whatever she wants" when she protests to Becky allowing her uterus and eggs to be sold to a married couple who cannot have children herself. It becomes obvious what Roseanne actually meant is a man shouldn't force a woman to do something she does not want to ... but otherwise, Roseanne's viewpoints are still the most valid and she should be able to control her 40 year old daughter's body and personal choices.

Roseanne / int_e34400ab	comment	Ambiguously Gay: Darlene's son Mark. His clothes and mannerisms are very flamboyant, but it's mentioned that he's too young to know what his sexual orientation is yet, and as it stands, his choice of attire simply is what it is. It becomes a little clearer in the first episode of The Conners, when Mark asks his grandpa Dan for help in picking one of two boys to be his seatmate on the school bus; it's all but stated that Mark has a crush on the two boys.

Plus, she lost the only man she ever did love in a strange and bizarre accident and was left to raise her young son all by herself! Thankfully, her life seems to turn around some after she marries Ed.

Roseanne / int_e5e6640b	type	Flanderization
Roseanne / int_e5e6640b	comment	Flanderization: A few examples, particularly toward the end of the show. Roseanne slowly got more bossy and controlling toward her family and Jackie became more neurotic and quirky. More troubling, after he met Scott, Leon went from Straight Gay to encompassing a few gay stereotypes and his sexuality became the subject of many more jokes. Bev, Roseanne and Jackie's mom, who starts out as a slightly annoying, overly-critical conservative woman, but later in the series becomes an insane, ultra-fundamentalist closeted lesbian who nags everyone around her in a shrill, high-pitched shriek of a voice. A one-time gag at the end of a later episode had her only faking that personality; her "real self" in the gag was a Ladette with a deeper voice who drank beer with Fred. When asked why she didn't act this way all the time, she said, "Well that wouldn't be much fun now, would it?" A particularly bad example happened with Mark. Originally a leather-jacket-clad greaser bad boy who wasn't booksmart, but always seemed sharp and was shown to be even better than Dan at fixing motorcycles. After marrying Becky and returning to the show he became an idiotic dope/manchild who routinely shocked the rest of the characters with his lack of sense. Only when teaching David how to tie a bowtie before the latter's wedding at the end of Season 8 did Mark's original stoic, streetsmart bad-boy persona get one last moment in the spotlight. There was one other moment, though, which showed some Hidden Depths as well. Becky becomes frustrated at living in a trailer and begins to look at going back to school. Mark is against it since they were planning to start a family and tells Roseanne to butt out. However, as the episode wears on, Mark tells Roseanne about how Becky is making all these decisions without him and he's afraid she's going to outgrow him, ending the episode by asking Roseanne how many doctors are married to mechanics, and sarcastically congratulating her on getting a doctor in the family and getting rid of him at the same time. It shows him as a vulnerable man scared he's losing the woman he loves instead of the chauvinistic pig he'd been before. And David. He went from a mildly sensitive artist from the wrong side of the tracks to an uber-sensitive, in-touch-with-his-fem-side, snobbish doormat. Jackie is one of the worst sufferers of this. In the earliest seasons, she's a confident, clever woman with bad luck in love. She's slightly neurotic, but it just added to her charm. Later on, the neuroticism completely engulfed her character to the point where any little thing would reduce her to a babbling twitching mess. It was amazing to think that she wasn't in a mental hospital with her kid taken away. Possibly justified when one considers it really started around the time she was involved with Fisher, who later turned out to be abusive.

Doesn't help that Roseanne teases her about them, and a woman at the health spa in season 9 says they're "much too small for her body". A comment from Nana Mary implies that she may have inherited her shape from Bev. Also, D-Cup Distress in the episode "Less Is More" (Season Four), in which Roseanne, after throwing her back out, decides to have a breast reduction. This episode also features a hilarious dream sequence in which Roseanne's doctor (Doogie Howser, M.D.) botches the operation and instead ENLARGES her breasts to an exaggerated extreme.

Roseanne, who doesn't trust Dan to do this right, decides to try and tell DJ that awkward moments happen to everybody, and tells the story of her first period. This sends DJ screaming from the room. When Dan stops him and tells him that he shouldn't run from the room, DJ says it's about her period, and Dan simply says "As you were."

Heel Realization: Darlene went through this over the course of a few episodes after her break-up with David. She realized she felt closer to David than anyone and how much she hurt him by dumping him, as well as how badly she treated him. It didn't help that her new boyfriend dumped her for treating him the way she treated David. Mark to David through their childhood and into adulthood, culminating in a fight after Mark goes out of his way to block David from going on a date a waitress at the diner by offering to look at her car on the same night. When Becky arrives and suggests a night out, David covers for Mark after the latter struggles to come up with an excuse. Mark is still unrepentant until David points out how close he was to destroying his marriage to the only person around who actually cares about him, prompting Mark to tell the waitress to go out with David instead.

Darlene in particular rubs salt into Becky's wounds, crowing, "I've been waiting for something like this to happen since I was two!" Becky kind of deserves it after having been such a Jerkass to Darlene at the beginning of the episode for no reason (and without provocation).

When Dan calls from California he says he's most looking forward to coming back home to all the familiar things he's missed. Roseanne is horrified because after winning the lottery, she redecorated the whole house, threw all the old stuff out, and it wasn't the same familiar "home" Dan was looking forward to. She then changes into an eye-popping negligee, under the theory that "Men prefer boobs to end tables any day." Jackie rather abruptly says, "Well, it's working. I'm your sister and even I can't take my eyes off your rack."

Roseanne / int_f197c220	type	Burger Fool
Roseanne / int_f197c220	comment	Burger Fool: Roseanne does a stint at a chicken joint as one of her many odd jobs over the series to keep her family afloat. It's not too bad, but her barely legal boss has a superiority complex and can't understand how her family comes before her responsibility to him. The family actually makes more fun of her when she gets a job sweeping hair at a salon. Her waitress job at the restaurant in Rodbell's had some tones of this as well. The ridiculous costume for starters, and her boss Leon seemed to enjoy making them suffer; when the restaurant finally went under, he told them that management had phased out those horrible uniforms years before. Leon himself said he hated the place as well. When the diner was shut down, on their last day, they had a toast in which he said, "We're not standing in the parking lot watching the place burn, but this is nice, too." Becky, though, was initially distressed not that her mother would be working as a waitress, but that she'd be working in one of her favorite hangouts. The salon job was something of a subversion. Roseanne's coworkers all understood the job was crappy but they never made Roseanne feel bad about it and were pretty nice, if a little ditzy; at the end of her first day, when her boss asks her about the job, Roseanne says point-blank, "I hate it," the boss, realizing that the job sucks, says, "Of course you hate it, but are you staying?" Roseanne was not very pleased when the only ones who were making her feel bad about it were Dan and the kids.

Roseanne / int_fe0330fb	comment	Brick Joke: The lottery ticket that would make the Conner family one hundred and eight million dollars richer shows up briefly in the episode before, when Bev almost uses it as a coaster. Season 4 episode 2, Roseanne is speaking to a sales guy on the phone. She puts him "on hold" by putting the receiver on top of the radio. Later, when Bev calls Jackie at the shop, she does the same thing. Season 4 episode 25. A politician comes to the door and talks to Roseanne about his plan to offer tax cuts to out of state businesses, to entice them to set up in his jurisdiction. Roseanne delivers a great speech cutting through all of his sound bytes and he leaves. A few scenes later, the same politician shows up at Dan's bike shop. Roseanne comes out of the back and says "Oh, hey!" And he goes running. In "Pretty in Black," When Roseanne is approached about using the money she and Dan inherited from Beverly to join Jackie and Nancy in a business venture, Roseanne and Dan discuss the prospect in bed: Later, in "Crime and Punishment," when Darlene has to bail Dan out of jail: In "Don't Make Me Over," DJ stops turning in his math homework and makes up an excuse about Dan having died. In "Truth or Consequences," Dan responds to a request for a parent conference at DJ's school, and the bewildered principal brings up DJ's claim. Season 5, Episode 13. Dan is called into DJ's principal's office after DJ is caught with a violent pornographic comic book. The principal (who previously assumed Roseanne was a widow since Dan never turned up for school conferences) casts aspersions on Dan's parenting, especially after DJ reveals that the comic's author is Darlene. In the final scene of the episode, Dan is in the back of a police car, in handcuffs, after assaulting Jackie's abusive boyfriend, when they pull up to a red light beside another car being driven by the principal. Dan offers him a cheerful if embarrassed wave. It's subtle, but the orange off-the shoulder dress that Darlene tries on ("Looked better on the hanger") in the Season 3 episode "Dances with Darlene" turns up on one of the background prom attendees in Season 5's "Promises Promises." Probably the most notoriously meta Brick in the series: in his initial appearance, David Healy was originally called Kevin.note (Roseanne wanted to name the character David, but Johnny Galecki was already playing a character named David in another sitcom) When the character was reintroduced as a regular, his name became David, a change that goes unremarked upon until two seasons later, when Roseanne shouts, "David's not even his real name!
