Roseanne (TV series)

For other uses see Roseanne.

Roseanne was an American sitcom which aired on ABC from 1988 to 1997, starring the stand-up comedian Roseanne Barr. The show's working title, and the title of its pilot episode, was Life and Stuff.

The show portrayed a working-class family living in fictional Lanford, Illinois, and struggling to get by on a limited income. For many years, Roseanne was, in contrast to many of the most popular shows at the time, honest in its depiction of family life, tackling subjects of poverty, alcoholism, sex, first periods, masturbation, obesity, spousal abuse, and homosexuality in ways unlike other shows. Another theme of the show was Roseanne's dominance in raising the children, with her husband Dan feeling that he doesn't have a voice in what happens in the family, and is not well informed of what happens in his household. The show was hugely successful from its beginning, spending its first six seasons in the top five of the Nielsen Ratings and inspiring a rash of stand-ups getting their own sitcom deals (a practice that continued for years afterwards). By the mid-'90s, however, the series began to be known more for the public and backstage scandals of Barr. There was constant turnover of writers and producers through the course of the series, including her second husband, Tom Arnold. During its final season, the show drifted away from its original storyline. During the seventh season, the show dropped sharply in the ratings, and by the final season (1996-1997), it had fallen out of the top thirty.

Characters

Conner Family

Roseanne (Harris) Conner (played by Roseanne Barr) - Roseanne, in a take off of her stand up comedic persona and presumed real-life persona, is a bossy, loud, bitingly sarcastic and dominant woman. She frequently meddles and tries to control the lives of her husband, daughters, son, sister and friends. Despite her bossy nature, Roseanne is a loving mother who works hard and makes as much time for her kids as possible. She, like her family, deals with the many hardships of poverty and domestic troubles with humor. She worked at the Wellman Plastics Factory at the beginning of the show's run and quit that job after conflict with the new egotistical domineering boss, Mr. Faber; she led a walkout that included most of her friends. She had many periods of unemployment and held jobs as a fast food employee, a waitress at the local bar (the Lobo Lounge), a telemarketer and a shampoo woman/hair sweeper at a beauty salon. Later, she worked for several years as a waitress in the lunchonette at Rodbell's Department Store (much to the embarrassment of daughters Becky and Darlene, who regularly hung out there). She eventually ran a successful restaurant called the Lanford Lunch Box with Jackie and Nancy (as well as nemesis Leon, her boss from the lunchonette, who assumed partial ownership of the restaurant after mother Bev sold her share to him). In the (fictional) ninth season, Roseanne (along with her sister, Jackie) gave up her control of the restaurant to Leon and her friend Nancy after winning the lottery.

Dan Conner (played by John Goodman) - Dan is a genial, easygoing man who often finds himself pushed around by his wife Roseanne. He is frequently unemployed, but a very hard worker when he is on the job. Throughout the run of the show, he does drywall, construction, owns a failing bike shop, works as a bus inspector for the city government, then retires upon hitting the lottery. In the (fictional) final season, he briefly moved to California to take care of his mentally ill mother. While there he becomes involved in an affair with one of his mother's nurses, which he soon ended. In the last episode it is discovered that Dan died of a heart attack at the end of the eighth season.

Jackie Harris (played by Laurie Metcalf) - Jackie is Roseanne's sister. Roseanne seems to be in charge of Jackie's life, the frequent cause of conflict between the two. Jackie has held numerous jobs; she started off working in the Wellman Plastics factory for several years until the walkout, then became a police officer until she was injured on the job, and later was a truck driver, and then opened the Lanford Lunch Box with Roseanne and Nancy. Her romantic relationships were frequently unstable, including one where she dated a man named Fisher and became the victim of Domestic violence. However, she did eventually marry Dan's co-worker Fred, who impregnated her after a one-night stand and who only got the idea to propose to her in the "perfect way" by taking notes from Jackie's favorite soap opera, One Life to Live. Jackie later gave birth to their son, Andrew. The marriage would prove to be short lived due to Fred's jealousy and Jackie's independence. She was partly the beneficiary of the winning lottery ticket in the (fictional) final season. Jackie's full name is revealed to be Marjorie by Beverly (her and Roseanne's mother), however, older sister Roseanne supposedly pronounced Marjorie as "My Jackie", and the nickname Jackie stuck. In the last episode it is discovered that Jackie was gay.

Rebecca 'Becky' (Conner) Healy (played by Lecy Goranson and Sarah Chalke) - Becky is quite bright and an overachiever, but also a brat and very rude to her parents. She secretly dates her boyfriend Mark against her parents' wishes and then leaves home to marry him at 17. Becky ends up in a life of semi-poverty against her wishes until the family wins the lottery. Her birthday is given as March 15, 1975.

Darlene (Conner) Healy (played by Sara Gilbert) - Darlene in the early years was a tomboy who loved sports, but at puberty became moody, artistic, an animal rights activist and a vegetarian to more closely match the real-life views and personality of Sara Gilbert. However, despite being an animal rights activist, Darlene asked for a leather jacket for both her 15th and 16th birthdays. During her freshman year of high school, she begins dating David, the brother of Becky's husband. She possesses the same domineering attitude as her mother, often causing conflict between the two. Her bossy nature is best seen with David, who often gives in to her will, and rarely (if ever) stands up to her. Darlene is a talented writer; David, a talented artist. Together, they began working seriously on a comic book/graphic novel, and Darlene eventually applies for and earns early admission and scholarship into an exclusive art school in Chicago before she finishes high school, which Roseanne reluctantly allows her to attend. She later became pregnant by David and soon married him. It is uncertain if she eventually finished art school. Her exact birthday is not disclosed, however it is very likely in the fall of 1976 judging from her sweet sixteenth birthday party in late 1992.

David Jacob "DJ" Conner (played by Sal Barone in the pilot, and Michael Fishman for the remainder of the series) - DJ was a lonely, bizarre and unpopular child who was frequently taunted by his sisters. He is portrayed as being something of a simpleton in school and abnormally weird, as in the time he peeked at both Darlene and Becky naked at different times, as well as the time Becky found dismembered Barbie dolls in his closet. As a teenager he showed interest in film making and eventually found a girlfriend sharing his interests. One episode dealt with DJ's relationship in a mature way, showing their decision not to have premarital sex, and promoted safe sex in the same instance. His full name of David Jacob is rarely mentioned (only two instances). He is said to be born in 1981.

Jerry Garcia Conner (played by Cole Roberts) - Jerry was the family's baby, born to Roseanne and Dan in their 40s. His name is a tribute to Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead. Roseanne's pregnancy in the seventh season was to coincide with her real-life pregnancy, made possible via fertility drugs and methods in a clinic (which Roseanne even explained in great detail at the end of a bizarre episode she did not appear in, because of her pregnancy). In addition, Roseanne's labor was to occur during a Grateful Dead concert, however, because of Jerry Garcia's death in 1995, that was changed.

Extended Family

Mark Healy (played by Glenn Quinn) - Mark is a dimwitted, "rebel without a cause"-type, who dated and later eloped with Becky, much to the Conners' consternation. Despite Mark's image, he is rarely seen to engage in criminal activity, except one incident where Mark was intoxicated at the Lobo, a local bar, and punched through the glass of the bar's jukebox, and another when he punched out Becky's emotionally violent boss at the Buy and Bag. Mark is strongly disliked by Roseanne for his condescending attitude toward her but ends up being befriended by Dan later in the series. Dan respects Mark's work ethic and hires him as a mechanic both at his bike shop and his truck-inspection business. Mark later proves himself to be a responsible husband and earns Roseanne's and the family's grudging respect.

David Healy (played by Johnny Galecki) - David is Mark's brother, but very much his opposite. David is timid, artistic, and intelligent, and was in a relationship with Darlene during much of the series. He is a talented artist and drew comic books that Darlene wrote, and his well-behaved manner endears him to the Conner family, who think of him as part of the family. He moved in with the Conners after Roseanne saw how verbally and physically abusive his mother was. Despite his constant off and on relationship with Darlene, he eventually fathers her child. David often finds himself dominated by Darlene's powerful personality. David was meant to be his name on the series for the entire series. However, at the time of his introduction, Johnny was already playing a character named David on another show, so the producers changed his name to Kevin so that there would be no confusion. By the time of his second appearance on Roseanne, his other show was canceled so he was given the name David again. The line said by Roseanne in season 6 about David not being his real name was a joke, and only a joke.

Beverly Harris (played by Estelle Parsons) - Bev is the mother of Roseanne and Jackie and the wife of Al. She is overbearing and shrill and is avoided by all members of her family. She nags them with her shockingly whiny voice, often with good intentions but coming off the wrong way (in a discussion with Fred at the end of an episode, she revealed her attitude to be an act). The family (especially Jackie) is always taking measures to avoid having to spend any extended time with Beverly as she is quick to inadvertently overly-criticize how people live their lives (after going back and forth playing tricks on each other in one Halloween episode, Roseanne ultimately got the upper hand by having a fake conversation with her mom in front of Dan where she agreed to let her mother stay for 2 months). She has proven herself generous with the wealth she received from her husband's alimony, constantly giving financial gifts to the family to bail them out. She even provided the seed money for the Lanford Lunch Box, and insisted to stay on as a partner, but was later forced out because Roseanne and Jackie did not want to work with her. As revenge, she sold her share of the restaurant to Roseanne's ex-boss and rival, Leon Carp, effectively making him their new partner. During the show's final season, she came out as a lesbian (according to one of Roseanne's fictional twists on her family, along with winning the lottery). Beverly is a Lutheran, and is an avid pro-lifer.

Al Harris (played by John Randolph) - Al is Roseanne and Jackie's abusive father, and had a mistress. Upon his death, Roseanne met with his mistress. It was also revealed that Al is Jewish.

Crystal (Anderson) Conner (played by Natalie West) - Crystal is a neurotic, uptight friend of Roseanne's and Jackie's from childhood and later became Dan's stepmother. She talks with a southern accent despite having grown up in Lanford (because her father was from Arkansas as she once explained). Crystal lost her first husband, Sonny, in a construction accident, but had a son, Lonnie, with him. Crystal worked at the Wellman Plastics factory with Roseanne and Jackie, and quit in order to start a successful cosmetics sales career. She married Dan's father, Ed (against Dan's strong disapproval), and bore his children. Their marriage was perceived to be happy, with Ed's absences creating most of their conflict. After part-way through Season 5, Crystal mysteriously disappears from the show except for brief appearances in a season 6 episode and the season 8 premiere, plus a few mentions.

Fred (played by Michael O'Keefe) - Fred is a mechanic who worked at the truck inspection with Dan and was introduced to Jackie, leading to a one-night stand, accidental impregnation, and marriage. Despite Fred's devotion to the family he wanted to have with Jackie and their son, Andy, it took a lot of encouragement for Jackie to eventually warm up and face the fact that Fred is the father of her child (in the beginning, Jackie wanted nothing to do with Fred and wanted Fred out of Andy's life). Fred is a hardworking, kind man who was responsible, but the two break up when they discover how incompatible they are.

Andy Harris (played by Garrett Hazen and Kent Hazen) - Andy is Jackie and Fred's son, born slightly before Jerry. In a segment set in the future, Andy is seen resembling an attractive female cheerleader. This is due to the fact that Jackie has been dressing baby Andy up in frilly outfits. Andy is completely overprotected by his mother. In most episodes that revolve around Andy, Jackie is typically acting completely obsessive about the wellbeing of her child. Examples include her obsession to have the baby sleep in the same bed with her and Fred, her becoming uptight when allowing Becky to use Andy to learn the proper way to hold a baby, and becoming irate at Roseanne for feeding him Oreo cookies.

Nana Mary (played by Shelley Winters) - Nana Mary is Beverly's mother. She is a brash, outspoken, and lovable woman who gambles with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Unlike Bev, she is popular with the family. She can (and does) outsmart and drive Bev crazy, much to the amusement of Roseanne and Jackie. Her character is used often as a comic relief to the family, as well as offering a balance between Roseanne and Jackie's relationship with their mother, and Bev's relationship with Nana Mary. She was promiscuous in her younger days and claimed to have dated Pablo Picasso and Louis Armstrong. She is a big fan of a local radio call-in show that revolves around sex, as she stated in one episode that "If I don't call, they worry." It was hinted in one episode that every time Nana Mary comes to town, it is tradition for her to reject the offer from Roseanne and Dan to make room for her to move to Lanford. However, this reoccurring theme was never repeated.

Audrey Conner (played by Ann Wedgeworth and Debbie Reynolds) - Audrey is Dan's mother. She is described to have been friendly and a great mother, but had serious mental problems. She was later institutionalized, which Dan blamed on his father's neglect, but turned out to be just a preexisting mental illness. She was released from the mental hospital once and attempted to kill Dan. Audrey is Pentecostal.

Ed Conner (played by Ned Beatty) - Ed is Dan's father, a charming struggling traveling novelty salesman who always brings presents for the grandchildren. Dan dislikes his father, but he is well-liked by everyone else. Ed never makes any blatant attempt on the show to anger Dan on purpose, but it usually doesn't take long for Dan to become annoyed at his father's presence. He is portrayed as irresponsible and neglectful of his family. He marries and has two children with Crystal, even though she is much younger than he is. Ed is a Baptist.

Other recurring characters

Leon Carp (played by Martin Mull) - Leon plays the sarcastic urbane foil to Roseanne as her put-upon boss at the Rodbell's luncheonette. Leon is gay and is seen dating many men and having romantic troubles. He later married his boyfriend Scott (played by Fred Willard) in a very public ceremony. He and Roseanne had a contentious relationship as her boss. He later purchased Beverly's share in the Lanford Lunch Box, much to Roseanne's chagrin. He was especially upset when Roseanne won the lottery.
Arnie Thomas (played by Tom Arnold) - Arnie is the overweight, boorish constantly jovial friend of Dan. He frequently cheats on the women he dates and is very ill-mannered. However, Arnie always tries to be a good friend to Dan. He married Nancy, but left her claiming to be abducted by aliens (later played upon in one of the show's end-credit sketches, where he was seen conversing with aliens on a spaceship).
Nancy Bartlett (played by Sandra Bernhard) - Nancy is the part owner of the Lanford Lunch Box. She was married to Arnie, but later came out as a lesbian after he left her. She frequently was seen dating very attractive women; her first girlfriend is played by Morgan Fairchild. Unlike Jackie, Nancy is never ashamed of her promiscuity, nor does she ever show any self-consciousness of her bizarre behavior.
Booker Brooks (played by George Clooney) - Booker is the handsome foreman at Wellman Plastics who is the object of affection for many of the factory's predominately female workforce. He briefly dated Jackie.
Marsha, Iris and Debbi (Elizabeth Franz, Lori Tan Chinn, Melora Walters) - Marsha is the owner of Art's Beauty Shop, where Roseanne worked in the second half of the second season. She was extremely fond of her late husband Arthur; her references to him as if he were still living became somewhat of a running gag in the episodes in which she appeared. Iris was a hairstylist who made off-the-wall statements about her early years in a war-torn Asian nation whenever customers would complain about mundane things (when the ladies talked about exercise, Iris stated in a near-monotone, "You know what's good exercise? Dodging machine gun fire on a beach!"). It is never fully explained if Iris actually endured some of the events she talked about, or if she just says them for shock value. Debbi is a young blonde manicurist who is portrayed as spacey and dim-witted; once she asks Iris if she has always had black-colored hair.
Bonnie Watkins (played by Bonnie Bramlett) - Bonnie is a waitress at Rodbell's Diner. She is considerably more polite and hard-working than Roseanne at the diner and frequently covers for her. Bonnie also has a beautiful singing voice and often performs country music at social gatherings. At one point in the series Bonnie admitted that she and her husband (played by David Crosby) once knocked over a liquor store in desperation for money. That point was soon viewed as insignificant when Jackie admitted that she had a one-night stand with Arnie.
Fisher (played by Matt Roth) - Fisher dated Jackie, and was DJ's hockey tutor at one point. Dan beat him up after it was found out that he abused Jackie while they were dating. In real life, Matt Roth is married to Laurie Metcalf (who played Jackie) and is the father of the child she was pregnant with when her character was pregnant on the show.

Two actresses, same role

One of the most documented moments of the series occurred in the fifth season when Lecy Goranson (Becky) left the series to attend Vassar College. The character was absent for the second part of the season five and the first part of season six with the explanation that she was living with her husband, Mark Healy. Instead of writing Becky out, the character was recast with actress Sarah Chalke (now of Scrubs fame). Wary of the potential backlash to reshaping a longtime role, producers sought to defuse the criticism. At the end of Chalke's first episode, the Conner family watched a Bewitched episode and several characters complained about the recast of Darrin Stephens. Chalke smiled and said she'd always liked the second Darrin best. Goranson returned to the role two seasons later only to leave again and to be replaced by Chalke in season nine. The eighth season opening credits (a morph of cast photos over the years) alternated shots of both women for Becky. The ninth season had just Sarah Chalke's face being shown. Both appeared in some episodes during the eighth season (including alternating playing the role of Becky during the episode with Darlene and David's wedding), and the changes became a running gag.

When Lecy first returns as Becky in the eighth season premiere, Roseanne and Darlene say things like "Where the hell have you been? It feels like you've been gone for three years." Becky responds, "Why does everyone keep saying that?" The episode concludes with Goranson and Chalke dancing as if they were each other's reflection in a black-and-white parody of the closing credits of The Patty Duke Show, where Patty Duke played two identical cousins. The song, "Nearly Identical Beckys," is set to the tune of The Patty Duke Show, featuring altered lyrics. William Schallert, who played Patty's father on the series, appears with Dan in a cameo at the end of the parody.

In one episode after ABC was acquired by The Walt Disney Company, the show, like many others on the channel, created a plot about the characters visiting Disney World. Chalke played Becky during the episode and tells Roseanne how excited she is to be going to Disney World when the announcement is made in the family living room, leaving Roseanne to comment, "Aren't you glad you were here this week?"

Final Season (1996-1997)

The final season marked a complete departure from the rest of the series - the formerly working-class Conner family wins the lottery and begins living an extravagant lifestyle. Additionally, the series became quite surreal, with an abundance of fantasy sequences and celebrity guests. This change in tone fared poorly with critics and viewers, but has been staunchly defended by Barr. She felt that Roseanne Conner winning the lottery was similar to her landing a sitcom deal, and thus helped the series to parallel her life. ^* Also, the season's detachment from reality was somewhat explained in the last moments of the series finale.

For the first time in the history of the series, the introductory music for the final season featured lyrics, sung by John Popper of Blues Traveler.

Series finale

The final episode ended on an unusual note, with a 15-minute closing monologue by Roseanne revealing that after she was given a writing room (referencing a story thread from a few seasons beforehand), the entire series was merely a fictional story written by the character of Roseanne Conner and based on her family life and experiences. She also revealed that whatever she hadn't liked about her real life, she'd changed in the story; for instance, it was her sister Jackie - not her mother - that had come out as a lesbian.

Becky and Darlene actually ended up with the opposite Healy brother (Becky with David and Darlene with Mark). And following his massive heart-attack at the end of season eight, Dan had actually died.

Also, it was revealed that Arnie was not abducted by aliens, but just disappeared.

The surrealism of season nine was explained as the "real" Roseanne Conner's way of dealing with the tragedy of Dan dying, which she snapped out of as a result of Darlene giving birth. The Conners' living room then returns to the way it was for the first eight seasons of the show (because they never won any lottery), and Roseanne embarks on a career as a writer. The episode ends with a wide aerial shot of Roseanne sitting on the living room sofa, and text is displayed on the screen:

Roseanne's trademark laugh is then heard, in a manner similar to the opening of nearly every episode, and the scene fades to black.

It is actually said by Roseanne in the finale that the entire series was just part of her book. What's meant is that many parts of the series from seasons three through nine were just fantasy and a part of her book that she had started to write in the end of season two. You can tell this because Mark makes his first appearance in season three. The last season and the final episode of season eight was entirely fantasy-based and none of it happened in the life of the Conner characters.

Dan's heart attack was supposed to be the series finale (the second to last season eight episode) but after the show was picked up for one last season, writers introduced a plot revolving around Dan not taking the hospital's orders after the heart attack. This led to Roseanne and Dan having their worst fight in the show's history, with the second part to the episode being the first episode of the ninth season.

In fact, the last season stayed around #35 in the ratings the entire year. The series finale came in around #9, helping the season stay in the #30's and not the #40's.

In the end credits of the series finale Roseanne says "Thank You" to Eric Gilliland who had left the show at the end of season eight. Eric Gilliland was set to remain as executive producer through season nine however, like so many, he was under the impression that the show's eighth season would be the last. He inked a deal with Fox without discussing it with Roseanne and she took this as a betrayal and fired him. He had remained on the show for a total of four years, longer than any executive producer on the show.

Roseanne is currently being released on DVD by Anchor Bay. The first four seasons are now available, with the fifth season due on September 12th, 2006. The DVD release of the series has so far proved to be somewhat controversial as the first season was issued with cut, syndicated versions of the episodes. From the second season onwards, the DVDs contain the original, unedited episodes. The first season did not contain the original episodes because Anchor Bay was unable to attain the rights to them and apparantly did not succeed in their second attempt to do so after fans complained of the episodes on the season one DVD. Although the first season DVD includes syndicated episodes, it is the only DVD set to include bloopers from the season. With the fourth season Roseanne provides video commentaries on two episodes (Trick Me Up, Trick Me Down and Thanksgiving 1991). A special Halloween edition DVD will be released in August 2006, featuring uncut Halloween themed episodes, and commentary by Roseanne.
