Trivia

In the fall of 2008 Barr said, on what the Conners would be up to now, "I've always said now that if they were on TV, DJ would have been killed in Iraq and [the Conners] would have lost their house." When asked for more details on where the rest of the Conners - Jackie, Becky, Darlene, David, and Mark - would be, Barr said "Your question is intellectual property that may be developed later, so I don't want to get into that."

Goofs

In the episode "Brain Dead Poet Society" Roseanne only serves a plate of food to Dan and Darlene, but DJ and Becky have plates of food in front of them at the end of the scene.

User Reviews

Refreshing and relateable

It's strange that a revived television show is a breath of fresh air from most of the crap out there. This show felt nestolgic and new at the same time. Highly enjoyable and a show most working class families can relate to.
