Thank you for this. Such a wonderful show, with amazing moments, multi-episode story arcs, multi-season character developments, etc. I watched the show on its original run getting what I could out of it. Upon a second or third run through I still under appreciated the early seasons because they're slower and smaller (no musical chairs with David, Darlene, new Becky, etc.). Then when I became a man I learned to value episodes like the one where the audience APPLAUDS because Roseanne gets a job. She then finds out she's unqualified, yet still comes home to find a surprise congratulations party that her and Dan subsequently vacate by yelling at each other, capped by her throwing himself into his arms at the frustration of being unemployed. I cannot think of another show that could so wonderfully capture (and build an episode around) that kind of story.
