Roseanne (old sitcom, not the person)

[kdm31091]

I found a screencap picture I took awhile ago, this is a season 8 Becky, after she cut her hair.

This is the haircut that drove me NUTS.

Although in that shot it almost looks good.

Thoughts?

I don't think it looks bad at all. I think the haircut she had in season 4 was much, much worse!!! But I do prefer her with longer hair.

Another ETA: My aunt Bonnie met David (Johnny Galecki) when she was in NYC to see a concert. She was shy to go up to him and he noticed she was looking at him, so he approached her and talked to her, and thanked her for liking the show. He was very sweet to her and took a picture with her. I think he looks good!! It was so funny- she told him how her favorite episode with him in it was when he was having those 'racy' dreams about Roseanne and he agreed that was one of his favorites, too!!

(my Aunt is on the far right.)

That's so cool It's great that he was such a nice guy.

And Obi-Wan, I know what you mean about Hugh Laurie. Sometimes I even forget that he's British because he's so good at hiding it on the show. Like when I was watching the Golden Globes last night I was amazed once more because he really does have a very pronounced British accent so it's so cool that he can do the American accent so well. And if you've ever seen him in any of his old shows (Blackadder, A Bit of Fry and Laurie, etc) then it's even more amazing to see how well he made the transition in terms of his accent.

The haircut I think you're talking about was the end of season 3. Are you talking about "mushroom" one where it was half shaved and half not? Yeah that was hideous.

The "short bob" haircuts like my pic showed, weren't as bad, but she still looked best in long hair.

Yep- thats the one I was talking about. I couldn't remember if it was in season 3 or 4, but it was near the time that she eloped with Mark. (I think the first time I remember seeing it was the birth control episode!)

I love this show! I stopped watching around the time they won the lottery. I caught the final episode on Nick a couple of years ago and just cried when she said Dan had died. He's my favorite.

I watched it when it was on originally and I watched it on Nick@Nite when I was up in the middle of the night with DD1. I think I've seen every episode. Some of the funniest:

-When Becky "Cut the cheese" in class
-Dan or Rosanned found pot in the basement and smoked it with Jackie
-When DJ reached puberty and spent lots of time in the bathroom

The last season was so bad, I'd like to just forget it ever happened.

My favorite all time episode. DH and I couldn't breath we were laughing so hard watching that episode.

"(Roseanne, Dan and Jackie are in the bathroom after having smoked pot)
Roseanne: Do you feel anything?
Dan: Maybe this stuff is too old.
Roseanne: Are there anymore of those pudding pops?
Dan: No, this is the last one and it's mine.
Roseanne: Well Dan, I want it. And I swear to God I'll rip your entire arm off to get it.
Dan: That would suck. (gives roseanne pudding pop)
Dan: Roseanne? You are the most beautiful, wonderful, ya know thing in the world. I really really love you.
Roseanne: (sits novice for a second) What?
Dan: Man, I thought this stuff would make me feel younger, and all I feel is old, tired and hungry.
Roseanne: Man! Maybe this is how we got fat!
Jackie: Nobody loves me.
Roseanne: (freaked out, opens shower curtain to find Jackie laying in the tub) Jackie, I thought you went home.
Jackie: What do you mean? I've got nothing. No Boyfriend. No family. No life. It's just me. Just me and my ganja.
Roseanne and Dan: (laughing hysterically)
Dan: (jumps up) What was that!?
Roseanne: (still laughing) You're all paranoid, Dan! (pause) Oooh, BIRDS BIRDS BIRDS! (laughing) Don't ya hate that when your stoned?
Dan: I don't like it anytime (shakes)
(slam)
Dan: Now don't tell me you didn't hear that!
Jackie: (wide-eyed) Is this the sink am I shrinking?
DJ: (knocking on door) Mom?
Jackie: THE JIG IS UP! (closes shower curtain)
Dan: Deeeeeejay, Deeeejay. Did you ever notice how weird that sounds?
Roseanne: Now, remember Dan, maintain. (stumples over to door) (high shrill voice)WHAT YOU WANT DJ!? God, you're right!
DJ: I forgot my sleeping bag, do you know where it is?
Roseanne: Uh... its out in the back, past the yard, ya know in that building where your dad always is?
DJ: Thanks, Mom
Roseanne: I am like the worst mother on the face of the earth.
Dan: No you're not.
Roseanne: Yes Dan I am. I don't know where I sent my kid. Well say he falls down and he breaks one of his organs and he needs a transplant from me but I can't give him any of my organs cuz they're all full of pot.
Dan: That's not going to happen.
Roseanne: I cant- no. I just couldn't handle any kind of crisis.
Dan: Well maybe I could.
Roseanne: No.
Dan: I can't believe we used to enjoy this stuff.
Roseanne: Well, it was a long time ago, there was a war going on! Everything was just alot more fun!
Dan: Fine, we'll just flush the rest of this down the toilet. Now let's go lie down.
Roseanne: (looking around) What?
(Dan and Roseanne walk into bedroom)
Jackie: (still in shower) Guys, I don't think this stuff is working"

I love all the episodes ya'll have mentioned....the pot smoking, the one when Jackie was overdue, the "he's dead Auntie Barbara!" episode - all classics. The line I always use though is from the episode where DJ doesn't want to kiss a girl in the school play.

Roseanne: You're doing that play and that's all there is to it.
D.J.: Well dad said I didn't have to and dad outranks you.
Roseanne: Are you new?

I use that one on my husband all the time!

He really is super nice and talkitive! I met him when I was in middle school at a wedding reception for one of my dad's friends (cousin to Johnny). I just went over and said "hi" and he said it was ok to get a picture with him(my mom had a camera in her hand but wasn't sure if he would be annoyed) and then he stopped by later at our table and talked about what he was up to in films and more regular small talk things. But I remember it being weird because he came with a group of people all dressed in black and they stayed in the hall smoking while he mingled with his family and others.

Roseanne is probably my favorite sitcom, ever! I especially love when they act "white trash". I remember seeing a survey back in the 90's. What kind of couple are you...Paul and Jamie Buchman(Mad About You) or Dan and Roseanne Conner(Roseanne)? We are definitely Dan and Roseanne people here.

 

[XOoOoVEEoOoOX]

I love this show! I stopped watching around the time they won the lottery. I caught the final episode on Nick a couple of years ago and just cried when she said Dan had died. He's my favorite.

Dan and Darlene were my favorites on this show...Dan remindds me of my father...chubby and jolly and all. I am almost relieved to hear he died, It would break my heart if he had had an affair...(not break my heart but u know what I mean)

And Darlene was just a sarcastic little snot, and I loved that about her.

 

[Linnie The Pooh]

Count me in as another fan of Roseanne. There are sooo many funny episodes-too many to list. DH does not like the show so I watch it alone-it's nice to read through this thread and have the opportunity to share my fondness for the show.

Anyway, I really liked Jackie when she was a cop and trying to act all tough. That always made me laugh. I really wished she would've married Gary. I thought they were good together.

There's also another episode, where, at the end of the episode when Dan & Roseanne are sitting on the couch talking and you could tell it was ad-libbed. I forget how it goes, but they were talking about pyramid schemes and Dan says, "You mean the pyramids like the ones up to Egypt, Africa?" Roseanne cracked up. It was so funny.

I saw Lecy Goranson talking about this in an interview awhile back: Lecy's mushroom haircut was "done" by Roseanne. There was another show at the time where the star got her long hair cut and the show flopped so the execs were nervous to let other stars make major changes to their appearances. At that same time, Lecy wanted to cut her hair and they said no, so she was telling Roseanne about it and she said Roseanne grabbed a pair of scissors and whacked it off the back and said, "There." Lecy said this in this interview, I gathered from her reaction she wasn't that pleased about it and that it was too short for her. It didn't look that good...

I think I'll go buy the 2nd season tomorrow. I have the first. This thread has me in the mood for some Roseanne!

 

[luvmy2sams]

So happy to find this thread. I watch Roseanne on Nick at Nite all the time. I haven't read the entire thread, so sorry if this has already been mentioned.

My favorite episode of all time is the one where DJ...how do I put this...spends lots of time in the bathroom. The family is sitting around the table, and Darlene says "I heard DJ got in trouble for playing with his instrument at school." Hilarity ensues and culminates with Darlene saying "Don't worry. How much trouble can he get into with only one hand?" The episode is full of some of the best one-liners ever! I remember watching this with my mom when it originally aired and being a mortified teenager.

Now I'm off to relieve this show through this thread. Thanks for the laughs!

 

[Snoopygirl]

I watch the reruns everyday!!! I loved this show......up until they won the lottery. I couldn't stand it after that. The first couple of years were the best. I especially loved Laurie Metcalf.....she is brilliant.
One of my favorite episodes is when Becky and her friend are home alone and they get drunk......it was great! Darlene tells her in the morning to come down for breakfast and starts talking about eggs....and the runny stuff....hilarious!

 

[miss missy]

Its on all the time here... she is foul, but ya gotta laugh anyway

 

[MyGoofy26]

OMG, yes, that is a favorite for sure, his dead, he died, yes dead, his dead.............

He's fine! He's sends his love.

 

[kdm31091]

He's fine! He's sends his love.

That's SO FUNNY! I crack up even if I watch it 20 times...
