Roseanne

I liked the ABC sitcom Roseanne during its original run. I am not a fan today of Roseanne Barr for many reasons, but I decided that it would not be fair to leave off this show that I did enjoy because my opinions of Barr changed.

This show was very funny. It had some great sitcom performances from Roseanne, John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, and Sara Gilbert.

This show gave a perspective of a low income family during the 1980s, something that we did not see at the time. How they faced all kinds of troubles and they battled through them all, even if they were fighting with each other along the way.

The last couple of seasons of Roseanne was considerably down from the first five or six years. The final season with the Connors winning the lottery was just so opposite what this show was supposed to be.
