"Roseanne" is the story of a working-class family struggling with life's essential problems - marriage, children, money, and parents-in-law. A now-classic sitcom, the story circles around the Connor family, a family of five that includes the parents, Roseanne (Roseanne Barr) and Dan (John Goodman), and the children, Becky (Alicia Goranson), Darlene (Sara Gilbert), and D.J. (Michael Fishman). Roseanne is helped in her challenge to keep the family moving along by her single sister, Jackie (Laurie Metcalf), and various friends. —Bossy Bessie

Realistic

I do like Roseanne because it seems more realistic than the junk that is on TV today - take Friends for example - a bunch of whiny New Yorkers who never to have to worry about real problems. Roseanne gives us something different. I think a lot of people can relate to this show because it caters to your typical American - not wealthy, lives in a small town, has a family, trying to make it. I do think the last couple of seasons were ridiculous (the lottery subplot) but I guess those were done for a reason due to the actress, Roseanne.

9/10 as for as sitcoms go.
