Roseanne
Anyone in the forum also a fan of this show? I got most of them on VHS, and I truly would love to see these on DVD...I thought that was a major impossibility until I saw recetly that Columbia House has a deal where they are releasing 4 epidodes at a time of the Cosby show on DVD...considering the same people who made the Cosby Show made Roseanne, I'm thinking down the line we might get this classic n DVD. Any thoughts?

This used to be one of those "must see" shows every week for me. I stopped watching however, the second to last season. At about that point was when just about everyone in Lanford either turned out to be gay or a lesbian. Great show up to that point though. I did catch the series finale about a year ago and it was surprisingly good considering the shows quality at that time.

I would pay inordinant amounts of cash to get Roseanne on DVD. That show - more than any other, before or since - captured what it was like growing up for me. That family dynamic - minus the cutesy putdowns - literally was my childhood. My mother still has one of those macrame quilts on the back of the couch.
If I come across the show while flipping through the channels, I immediately stop and finish out the episode. I've been surprised on numerous occasions with episodes I'd missed (e.g. just saw Darlene's prom the other day).
It's a shame most networks have replaced re-runs of Roseanne with the truly unfunny and unreal re-runs of Friends.

I've said this a million times before. The first seven seasons
of "Roseanne" are classic. Hilarious! And I'm talking
almost every single episode. Well, maybe one or two
were mediocre
But the last two years? Absolutely
horrible! Clearly the original writing team were no longer
on board. At least the 8th season was tolerable at best.
That last year is unwatchable. It was like a bad parody
of the show.

Oooh, I have to disagree. Because they didn't start with
that storyline in the last two years. There were some
great episodes surrounding that place. I think the show
jumped the shark when Roseanne got pregnant again.
It was funny when Jackie did though. And that whole
lottery trainwreck? Don't even get me started.

I've never seen any other lottery episodes -- are they currently on syndication anywhere? Does syndication show Roseanne chronologically?

Speaking of Roseanne. Would anyone happen to have a copy of the final episode? I've had a hankering to see that particular episode now for awhile. I know I taped it at the time - but can't for the life of me remember where that tape is now.
Anybody?

I have another question about the final episode. Maybe somebody with a better memory than mine can help me out...
What was the deal with Darlene/David and Becky/Mark? At the very end, Roseanne made some comment about how she thought Darlene should be with Mark and Becky should be with David, or something like that? Was it supposed to be that they were paired up differently in real life, and she had paired them up a certain way in her imagination? Or am I way off here? I just remember that at the end of the final episode, they were all sitting around the kitchen table, and Roseanne's voiceover mentioned something really quickly about this that left me really confused.

I watched the final episode on tv a couple weeks ago. The people just sort of leave and it's Roseanne left talking to the camera about how she constructed the winning the lottery thing in her writing and how difficult things have been without Dan. It was a really good finale to be honest.
I love this show and would buy it on dvds.
