Roseanne

About

Roseanne is a classic American sitcom that originally aired from 1988 to 1997 and was revived in 2018. The show revolves around the Conner family, a working-class household in the fictional town of Lanford, Illinois. It stars Roseanne Barr as the matriarch, Roseanne Conner, alongside John Goodman as her husband Dan, and their children Becky, Darlene, and D.J. The series is known for its realistic portrayal of everyday family struggles, tackling issues like marriage, parenting, financial difficulties, and social topics with humor and candor. The show's success was largely due to its relatable characters and Roseanne Barr's comedic genius. It broke new ground by addressing taboo subjects in a way that was both humorous and thought-provoking. Despite controversy surrounding its finale and the 2018 revival, Roseanne remains a significant part of television history. The revival was eventually canceled after a single season due to controversy, leading to the spin-off The Conners, which continues the story without Roseanne Barr.
