Roseanne (1988–2018)
10/10
One of if not the best sitcom of the 1990's!
18 June 2003
I have been watching Roseanne since the early 90's and I still cannot get enough of it. The humour of Roseanne and all the characters always gets me. It seemed that every episode had it's hilarious parts. One of the reasons I enjoy Roseanne so much is it's reality it's got. It's probably the most real sitcom ever created which is why it was so popular. A couple with 3 kids in a small Illinois town always trying to make ends meet no matter what challenges they are faced with. They have one daughter that drops out of high school and marries and another who ends up getting pregnant before she hits 20 and marries also. Those things happen to real families and Roseanne made it happen to the t.v family for the first time. Roseanne tackled all the issues other tv shows wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole such as homosexuality, abuse, and of course sex and birth control. These were all recurring topics. I love Roseanne and still watch the re-runs whenever I can. I always thought it was a shame the series had to go off. Seasons 1-6 were the best but after that it got weird. It stopped being about the family and more about other stuff. The lottery is what killed the show however I found the ending weird but yet interesting. Roseanne is and will always be one of the most crowning achievements in Prime time T.V. Hats off to the team ar Carsey and Werner that created the show. You truly have a masterpiece.
