Late night ramblin'

[fredericks]

Nothing beats old Roseanne episodes. No matter how many times I've seen a particular episode it always makes me laugh. Or smile. Or tear up just a little. I do stop watching once the New!Becky shows up (aka - the young woman on Scrubs who has learned how to act a little since leaving the show), and if I accidentally switch over to the shows after the "lottery win" happened I dry heave. But otherwise? the show's pure gold. I keep wishing the rapport between me and my husband is similar to the one between the fictional Dan and Roseanne (again, pre-"lottery").

Now, if you'll excuse me, it's back to studying the thymus gland. Whee!

I loved Roseanne! Truly a brilliantly written and acted sitcom!

I too did NOT like post-lottery, though. It just got ridiculous...and I think the real-life Roseanne was going through a little insanity stage.

Never really knew my feelings about the way they ended the show. On one hand I thought it interesting that it was all in her imagination...but on the other, I thought "Gah! That sucks!"

You actually watched it through to the end. I admire your perserverance. My interest died when Darlene went away to college (her unaffected dry wit was the only real foil to Roseanne's in the house) and Becky pulled a switch. Twas like my world shattered around me. Oh yes, that and Roseanne began to suck too much fat out of her face and pulled sleepovers in tanning booths. THAT, my friend, was freaky. She was so adorable in the beginning.

The show went from being a lower-middle class family dealing with everyday occurrances to "Roseanne preaches and tells it like it is". What happened to Dan's balls towards the end, eh? Roseanne chopped them off, that's what happened to them. He was such a non-existant character, I wasn't surprised that Goodman wanted out.

But ah! Nick at Nite reminds me of what used to be. I wish they'd come out with box sets. I'd buy the first couple.

I always liked the one where they all wore ninja costumes and did their lines through the sublime art of interpretive dance.

Also, I think I may be insane.

I'm not going argue against that one.

I write a lot of letters here at work, and 99% start out with "To whom it may concern", so of course I start saying that over and over in my head like little Darlene when she won that poem contest, or whatever.

My favorite episodes when I was a kid, though, were the Halloween ones.

Wasn't little... Ben (?) the fattest little ugly baby ever? Was that her real baby?

Funny enough, the only one of those I can recall is the one where she sets up this elaborate prank to freak out her uptight neighbor. And that was great. So they're my favorite too.

Now, I know I watched the show after the character had the baby...or, at least, I remember watching up until she had the kid. Everything else after that is sort of a blur. God, what was she thinking? I know people change over time, but she just morphed into some sort of harpy on the show. It made it real painful to watch.

I watch Roseanne religiously! :)
