what are somethings that annoy you about the show-like the way a line was said or just something about a plot that annoyed you

Roseanne's voice when she was angry. I hated when she started yelling lol but it's funny at the same time! :). It's funny the way she yells Darlene's name.. DAR----LEEENE!!

Mrs. Bowman, but I guess that's a credit to the lady that played her.

Jackie after season 6. She was too loony. ohno:

Oh yeah! Sometimes some of the stuff she did made me wonder if she was on drugs or something.With those goofy expressions..

yea jackie got too crazy and those haircuts were awful, another thing was that i always wanted to see darlene at school like at college or in high school and maybe see darlene hang out with people other than david

In the very first episodes of season one Roseanne must have tried to use some kind of accent (midwestern) or something cuz the way she talked had a sort of "twang" to it. It annoyed the hell outta me. At first I thought it was a 'country' show, like HeeHaw or something...:crazy:

yea i kinda know what you mean, she seemed to talk in a baby voice sometimes too, its just like on friends when rachel would talk use a southern accent sometimes

another thing is that in the beginning of the show roseannes dad seemed like a typical grandpa/dad and she seemed to have no problem with him and then in the later years they made him out to be some kind of monster

I'll have to say that Roseanne looked so much different in the 1st and 2nd season than she looked in the finale seasons. She had a hard look about her in the finale season then the first.

Also Becky in her early and mid teen yrs, the way she would talk to Roseanne and Dan. I know teens go through things and have some conflict with their parents at one point in time. But she was just so disrespectful a lot of time.

Yeah there was an interview that I saw where she said she was asked to act a little bit more neortic (sp?) and silly and that she studdied alot of don knots tapes and sort of whirled his silliness into her character in mid 7th season all the way till the end...

Yeah all that bad plastic surgery...especially her cheekbone area, it always seemed to have a dark shading running along the cheekbone. As if she had that area of her facial area sucked out.

Another thing that annoyed me is it seemed the Becky and Darlene cared about their boyfriends more than their family.

Another thing that annoyed me is it seemed the Becky and Darlene cared about their boyfriends more than their family.
Having been a teen before (way back when) we girls tend to do that...we don't know what we have until it's too late. Roseanne was real, it was the closet thing to reality that alot of people could relate to. I knew alot of friends that treated their mom and dads like dirt. Talking back, skipping school, cussing, yelling, etc. I am guilty of having done all of those. Unfortunately it's reality of alot of teens. NOT ALL OF THEM MIND YOU.

i always hated that when roseanne ate she would make this disgusted face and chew with her mouth open

That always made me crack up, because I got the feeling that she was doing it just to piss people off. :lol:

lol maybe

D.J.'s voice in the final season was kind of irritating. Of course that wasn't his fault, all teenage boys sound like that at some point, but it was pretty annoying.

his awkwardness in the last season bugged me oh and after roseanne got pregnant and her hair was still black its like she never combed it

:lol: I noticed that about her hair too. It seemed like she didn't care much about her appearance at all after she got pregnant. LOL!!

The episodes D-I-V-O-R-C-E, Radio Days, and Saturday annoy me cause they're bad. The first episode of season three where Roseanne, Jackie, and Crystal are in the bathroom and Dan demands to know what they're doing in there. It's none of your business Dan, go away! And Of course the episode where Dan constantly reminds you that he wanted to be the one to hit Becky's boss like it was mandatory for him to be hit.

i know, i was annoyed when dan wanted to go in the bathroom

Jackie constantly putting down Fred & unhappy about the way he was. She annoyed me the whole time she was married with him, because it seemed like she found fault after fault with him.She especially annoyed me on the episode with Ellen gueststarring as their strink & Jackie kept talking! I actually thought Fred was good for Jackie & I got mad when they splitted..

What bothered me about the last couple of seasons were how bossy the women in the show were toward the men. Dan, David and Mark were constantly riduculed and browbeaten, and they had no say whatsoever about anything. A stark contrast from the early seasons when Rosanne and Dan were equals in the house.

Yeah & Roseanne really got on my nerves about Men being dumb as brick speeches.:mad: .

his awkwardness in the last season bugged me oh and after roseanne got pregnant and her hair was still black its like she never combed it

In the later seasons he was just such a bad freaking actor!!! I swear, he was great as a little boy but once he hit puberty - uGH - he could not act to save his life!!

Oh but I love that episode! Ellen made such a funny psychologist. Like saying how she likes to play the tapes for her friends, etc. LOL!

I did not care for the episodes where they were Gilligans Island and when they were on the subway fighting like ninjas.

What always annoyed me was Bev's rude comments. I don't know why Roseanne and Jackie never just told her to mind her own business.

I always hated they way Roseanne acted after she got pregnant like she was the only person that mattered.
The whole Prince falling for Jackie storyline.
One of the episodes in the beginning with Roseanne singing about killing her family in a fantasy setting, halloween episodes, birth of Jerry, Hans the Rabbit, and Disneyworld episode among the whole season 9 that irritated me less the last episode but it annoyed me she ended it like that.
The whole idea that everyone was gay. I have nothing against gay people but everyone in Roseannes life ended up gay unless you were her kid or husband. Mom gay, Jackie we find out was really gay instead, Nancy ended up being gay after Arnie, Leon and his boyfriend.
That chicken shirt they all took turns wearing.
Roseanne always getting her way.

I know teens go through things and have some conflict with their parents at one point in time. But she was just so disrespectful a lot of time.


Thats what makes Roseanne so real (at least the earlier seasons;))
I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I'd be ashamed to tell some of the things I said to my parents as a teenager.


I don't love the last seasons like I do the earlier ones. Its a different show. It has some funny lines, I don't hate it, but its not the same show. Kind of like Roseanne, and Roseanne 2.



I love all the characters on Roseanne because they remind me of my own family. None of them are perfect, the fact that they annoy us makes me love the writing on Roseanne more because its not one-dimensional.

What always annoyed me was Bev's rude comments. I don't know why Roseanne and Jackie never just told her to mind her own business.

Wait, they didn't?

Jackie's quirkiness in the later episodes (and the haircut didn't help either), they totally ruined her character

How the show took a complete 360 towards the end. I preferred the earlier episodes when things were more realistic and were actually funny.

I thought as the show progressed Roseanne treated Dan more and more like crap. It was always her way or the highway and Dan had no say. Like the other poster said, it was better early on when they were both equals.

I was annoyed when they wrote Gary off. I really think he was the best guy for Jackie. Booker was a sleazebag, Fisher obviously was an abusive jerk, and Fred was nice but he was a total nooze. I always thought that Jackie threw him away for nothing. He wanted her to quit but she quit anyway because she didn't want to be stuck behind a desk. I wish they would have written it that they worked things out and later got married.

Roseanne and Darlene really annoyed me in the two-parter when Dan had to commit his mother. The comments made were so inappropriate. The episode was still really sad but I really wish they would have written the characters to be a bit more serious in that episode.

another thing is that in the beginning of the show roseannes dad seemed like a typical grandpa/dad and she seemed to have no problem with him and then in the later years they made him out to be some kind of monster

yeah I thought it was strange that in the early years she loved her father so much then in the later or mid years they make him this horrible child abuser.

I really hated how David was so wimpy and allowed himself to be Darlene's doormat.

Yeah, and Roseanne's caterwauling got on my nerves.

Jackie went:crazy: later on down the line. She was too goofy for my taste.

Hated the character David, he had no backbone... Darlene wouldn't have stayed with him, she would have gotten bored with him.

How everybody in a small town of Lanford was gay(nothing wrong with it but come on, a town where a man's man ruled now ran over by queens?) Roseanne's mother had a taste for the ladies? Yeah right!

How Mark became some dumbass, I liked him better as a badass.

The second Becky was too valley girl.

How Dan and Roseanne let their daughter's boyfriend, who is clearly having sex with her move in. No sane parent would do that.

Last but not least, the whole lottery season...visiting a stuck up family in the Hamptons, a prince in love with Jackie, the whole train episode etc.

The show really started to annoy me when the family won the lottery and then Dan cheated on Roseanne. Roseanne and Jackie then went out and made a lot of richy rich type friends that they would normally never be friends with. :mad: Another thing that annoys me is the last episode where Roseanne tells how Dan died after his first heart attack and Darlene was really with Mark and Becky was with David. That whole ep. was too confusing in my opinion.

Jackie constantly putting down Fred & unhappy about the way he was. She annoyed me the whole time she was married with him, because it seemed like she found fault after fault with him.She especially annoyed me on the episode with Ellen gueststarring as their strink & Jackie kept talking! I actually thought Fred was good for Jackie & I got mad when they splitted..


Jackie was definitely the one who blew that marriage to pieces! Fred was a good guy and I didn't blame him for not wanting to do silly things like have sex on counters in public places at night. :eek: Nothing Fred tried to do was good enough for her and she pushed him away. I even think she ignored his needs and focused too much on their son, Andy. There was ONE person in that marriage, and she was a neurotic, self-absorbed flake. I read another post about how Metcalf was asked to act zanier and sillier. I hope she's stopped taking such bad advice.

There has already been enough anti-Becky posts on this board, so I'll keep it short in saying that Becky annoyed me to no end through most of the series and there was no need to bring her back. I thaought it was a joke to see Mr. and Mrs. Healy return only to be trailer trash and working low income jobs.

Beverly was annoying, but at the same time I felt I understood who she was supposed to be.

DJ annoyed me in later seasons.

After Roseanne started to realize her real life wealth on the show, her Roseanne character began dressing way too affluently-- while Dan remained in his plaid shirts, and the kids and other characters, in their regular, everyday clothes. (I'm not referring to after they won the lottery.)

I don't like how the focus drifted away from the immediate family starting near the end of Season 5. It started to focus more on The Lunch Box and other outside things, which usually just weren't as funny or interesting, at least I thought so.

Most of my favorite episodes are the ones involving Roseanne, Dan, and the kids..

But most episodes are still great, the only ones I don't care for are the ones that seem really out of place, like the one in Season 8 where Jackie goes to Bev's dancing class. In that episode, had it not been for the side story involving David and Mark, the episode would have been pointless and a huge bump in the road considering the usual continuity the series had.

Jackie after season 6. She was too loony. ohno:

Absolutely!

LOL! I find those quirky, out-of-place episodes to be refreshing from time to time, especially this one. Ii was wonderful that a great such as Tony Curtis agreed to do the show-- and the character they came up for him was perfect! I liked watching Estelle Parsons and Laurie Metcalf work off each other, too, with little or no crowding from other actors. We got to see another unusual interaction between Bev and Jackie, too. I liked the storyline.

Something that did annoy me was Debbie Reynolds as Dan's mother and the storyline they created when she was on. Hokey.

I think I would have liked it better if the episode had been placed somewhere else in the series, it was right in the middle of the wedding planning and just seemed a little like filler, but.. it could have been worse. Tony Curtis was funny in that one.

The inconsistency of rewriting of history in the Season 9 ep when Dan's mother returns from the mental hospital. She wanted to kill her son because he had her committed into a mental hospital??? Ok, one... why kill your son over that when apparently you're already off your rocker? Second, Dan never committed his mother to the hospital, I thought Dan's father did or someone else!Then Dan's mother and Roseanne fighting over a shovel because Dan's mother was trying to bury Dan in the backyard, then the next scene.. the family is sitting by a camp fire eating marshmallows! wtf??.That ep annoyed me for the various plot holes and the stupidity.

yea i kinda know what you mean, she seemed to talk in a baby voice sometimes too, its just like on friends when rachel would talk use a southern accent sometimes
I know what you mean. She did seem to have some sort of baby talk going on there. God, that was annoying.

How Jackie's character changed. It wasn't subtle, it was obvious. Her clothes, her looks, etc.

I didnt like how david was always made fun of and walked over! It was funny when darlene would do it to him but they were a couple and she loved him, i just didnt like it when the rest would do it, especially dj. ;)

Roseanne's attitude when she worked at Rodbelle's, the shopping mall diner, got on me nerves. It was funny the first couple of times when she slacked off and whined about having to serve coffee and mouthed off at customers, but soon after that, she just seemed lazy.

Not only that, her boss there, Leon, later went on to work with her at her diner, The Lunch Box! Talk about having to suspend my disbelief!

I was never a Tom Arnold fan and hated both Arnie and Nancy. The one where Arnie gets abducted by aliens is one of my favorites.

Sandra Bernhardt is different in real life, though, thank God. Far more intelligent.

Crystal was annoying. Was that stuttering thing she did supposed to be funny? :confused:

The only thing that bothered me about the show was when they hit the jackpot and that is where it went downhill until the finale in my opinion.

ClassicTv4Ever, I just wanted you to know that you want to say 180 not 360, if they did a 360 they would be right back to the way they started!!!

The only things I didn't like were:

1. The pointless episodes in the last 3 seasons, mainly the entire 9th season.

2. Roseanne working at the Lunch Box for so long. I felt she should have lost it or at least moved on to something else after 2 or so seasons.

3. The new Becky.

Everything else I loved. I loved the old and new Jackie. I loved the nicer Roseanne and the bitchier Roseanne. I loved most everything except those three things.

I firmly believe that if the old Becky had stayed, all 8 seasons of Roseanne would have been in the Top 10 of the Nielsen ratings. I remember watching the whole storyline of David and Becky starting to care for each other. And I HATED Becky during that. But if it had been the old Becky I would have been so giddy and glued to the screen during that.

It is a shame Becky left. And it is a shame they got a new Becky. And it wasn't even a good Becky. :(

And it s also a shame they went past 8 Seasons. IF Roseanne had only done 8 seasons, like she was supposed to do, all of the seasons would have been in the Top 20. I guess we can't go back now, but Roseanne would have been remembered far better if she had only done 8 seasons.

Not only that, her boss there, Leon, later went on to work with her at her diner, The Lunch Box! Talk about having to suspend my disbelief!
Well, it was Roseanne's mom who sold her share of the diner to Leon. Roseanne didn't ask him to work with her. Normally, I would think someone would tell her other partners abt selling their part of the business, but this was Bev's way of kinda getting revenge. :lol: I loved it.

I hated the second Becky.

The way Jackie was all excited abt her divorce being final. She was just too damn happy. I can see if Fred was terrible to her or treated her shabby. Far from it. It just was too unreal not to mention cruel.

I have yet to find anyone that liked NuBecky better. I should note that most seem to enjoy her (Sarah Chalke) on Scrubs, but not here.

Most of the lotto season bothered me, except for the finale and a couple of eps that dealt with Dan's cheating in Cali.

Oh, and I think they missed an opportunity to deal with mental illness in a more serious way on the show, something I know Roseanne wanted to address. There were a couple of great Dan moments during that storyline, but when they had Debby Reynolds come on, they seemed to drop the ball with the storyline, going almost for slapstick comedy of sorts. I was disappointed in that.

I was looking forward to a more complete story arc on family members dealing with mental illness, health care concerns, etc.

The way Jackie was all excited abt her divorce being final. She was just too damn happy. I can see if Fred was terrible to her or treated her shabby. Far from it. It just was too unreal not to mention cruel.It wasn't that unreal. It doesn't matter how nice someone is to you, if you're not in love with them, marriage might seem like a death sentence to you. Plus, in the end, we find out that Jackie is really gay. Showing us how uncomfortable she was married to a man might have been a subtle way for the writers to prepare us for Jackie's real story. Sort of a foreshadowing, if you will.

That's true. I guess that was an "inkling" or a hint as to what was to come.

That explains it, then. Don't get me wrong, there were some funny scenes between Leon and Roseanne.

Leon: "Oh, excuse, that was MY fault. . . . I expressed an INTEREST in your life!" :clap

Leon: "Oh, excuse, that was MY fault. . . . I expressed an INTEREST in your life!" :clap

I love that line no matter how many times ive seen that episode (stressed to kill) it cracks me up as if it was the first time i watched it. :lol:

I also wanted to say that Darlene's depression thing was cute for a couple of episodes. But watching her wearing black all the time and just being sometimes b*tchy,moody,sarcastic & just plain mean got annoying at times.

That explains it, then. Don't get me wrong, there were some funny scenes between Leon and Roseanne.

Leon: "Oh, excuse, that was MY fault. . . . I expressed an INTEREST in your life!" :clap
No, I didn't get you wrong. I was just wanting to clarify how it came abt how Leon became partners with Roseanne.

Leon was one of my fave characters on Roseanne. Each character was great, I didn't have any distaste for any character. I may hate the way a certain character portrayed a scene or how they changed, etc. but overall, Roseanne is one of the few shows where I love all the characters. King of Queens is another show. And of course, I Love Lucy.

After Roseanne started to realize her real life wealth on the show, her Roseanne character began dressing way too affluently-- while Dan remained in his plaid shirts, and the kids and other characters, in their regular, everyday clothes. (I'm not referring to after they won the lottery.)

Yes! Good point to bring up Sparkle.

I don't like how Dan's mom set fire to his boat. Arsenic and Old Mom is my least favorite episode of Roseanne. I didn't like how this character that came on as Dan's mom at the end of the last season of the show, that didn't have anything to do with the show, did that to something so important.

One thing that I didn't like was how Dan cheating on Roseanne was ever explained or even talked about with the kids. In the scene in Roseanne and Dan's bedroom where D.J. gets mad with Dan, he's just speculating on what's going on. Later it's shown that Darlene knows what's going on, and D.J. seems to know more than he knew initially. I think that was important and would have been interesting to see their reactions.

I hated all of season 9 and for all the same reasons the rest of you mentioned. I think the one thing that annoyed me the most, or that I can think of at this moment was how Jackie treated Fred. First off, I don't think for a minute that she ever loved him....at least not enough to marry him. They had zero chemistry and while he was too boring and whimpy, she was way too completely the opposite. When Jackie got pregnant and told Fred he couldn't be apart of the kid's life and she would raise HER baby alone is when I really thought she crossed the line! because of her personal B.S she was willing to take a willing father from her kid! UGH! That made me want to jump through the screen and choke her! So then not long after that, they wanted us to believe that she wanted to marry the guy? Yeah right! I never bought into them as a couple...they were barely acceptable as individuals and I can't respect a man who won't defend himself anymore then I would a woman who would take that crap.

I LOVE this show, didnt start watching till a few years ago. i know own it on dvd and watch it every night before bed.

1. Rosannes dad, at first he seemed great, then he was a awful man.
2. Dans dad-he hated him, then found out that he was just saving him from pain all those years about his mom, but then at the wedding he said he hadnt spoken to his dad in 2 years. dosnt make since? they never explained it.
3.anything after season 6 really. I hardly ever watch any of the above seasons. it all changes.
4. Dans mom- why did she never come around only that one thanksgiving, if he liked her so much, then why not have her there??
5. even though i love how roseanne treats customers becasue its so funny, how would she ever get tips or make money with her rudeness??
6. why she acted like working in the beauty salon was sooooo awful and degrading, but she thought waitress was fine, and she even worked fast food which is way more degrading than sweeping up hair.
7. how obessed roseanne was with jackie. great your sister is your best friend but she was way too much.

alright i watch it every night so of course little things would annoy me. I think its a great show. I just never understood some of that stuff.

oh and just stating for the record, i loved the new becky. :)

oh and just stating for the record, i loved the new becky. :)

So did I. I thought Lecy Goranson was such a brat! :rolleyes:

Same thing here, i purchased the dvds about a year ago and I watch them before sleeping :)
I'm finishing season 6 now... so i'm a bit worried about point 3) :p

Some of those things you wrote don't annoy me... for example Roseanne's dad: I think that in sitcoms, unless drama, some changes during the serie are allowed, if the authors thinks they're better for the storyline.

About Roseanne working at the beauty salon, I think that they didn't want to give us the idea that the job was degrading itself, but it was beacuse of the 'snob' customers... instead in a coffeehouse at the mall customers are normal people who don't treat workers without respect, thinking they are from a lower class.

There are the things that I didn't like so far:

*Becky getting married (I was very disappointed at first, but now i'm fine with it)
*The 'disappearing' of Crystal, she was a pretty good character... imho better than Nancy, I don't like her very much.
*The two episodes with the 'fake house-seller' who deceive Dan, steal his money and disappear... Dan was too stupid that time...



But the thing that I hate much is that there are no subtitles since season 4... for me is difficult to watch the episodes without them, especially when Sara Gilbert speaks (now I'm used to, but at first it was pretty hard)!



ps. I apologize for my English :crazy:

Watched episode 2 of season 7 yesterday... I absolutely have to add Darlene dating Jimmy...

why? :(

I don't think you can top these 2 annoyances:

Roseanne's "freaking-vile" personality (as another poster so elequently put it!) in the latter seasons

and

The Entire Season Nine!

-Fred in season 7: he was such a tight-wad and totally changed from season 6. Out of nowhere he becomes so boring and annoying when he seemed like a pretty cool guys after he and Jackie went on their first date.

-Roseanne after Thanksgiving 1994, when she finds out there might be something wrong with her unborn baby. I understand she was upset, but there was one episode where she was just yelling and screaming and shutting everyone out, including Dan, Jackie, and DJ, and didn't admit she was being ridiculous until after they get the test results back.

-Season Nine: OH MY GOODNESS I just absolutely couldn't stand it. The Connors running off to mingle with the rich people? It was boring and felt like a series in itself aside from being a part of Roseanne.

-Sarah Chalke: to me she made Becky seem like more of a spoiled brat than Lecy did by always running out of the room and walking away from confrontations.

Jackie after season 4. She became a total loon - especially in the sense that she often yelled and bickered with those younger and older than her ... if you ask me, she was a total bitch.

I did not like the new Becky one bit. I dislike the episode in season 9 in which Roseanne saves the train the terrorists... I always skip that one. I also wish Crystal had stayed longer. Other than that, there's not much I didn't like.

When Roseanne Kept changing Her hair Styles in seasons 2-9 bah

Things that annoyed me? One thing that annoys me is how none of Jackie's relationship ever worked out. Personally, it would have been great to see her and Fred were able to fix the problems they had in their marriage and prove their love for each other was stronger than anything else.
Secondly, it really annoyed me they had Crystal get married to Ed Conner on the show. To me she was already practically a member of the family so what was the point in doing this? It just seemed silly not to mention unrealistic to have this happen.
Third, David Healy. In the beginning you felt kinda of sorry for him because of how his home life was etc. but after that he just became more whiny, annoying and more of a jerk in my opinion. Like he was better than everyone else because he was smarter.
Finally the fourth, The lottery storyline. It just defeated the whole purpose of what the show had been about. The idea of them being rich and wealthy was just ridiculous and did not make any sense at all.

I didn't mind Crystal marrying Dan's father. That was Crystal. She had a few husbands and was known for going from guy to guy, so I don't think it was too unrealistic that she would fall in love with another fella, especially one who was as lonely as Ed.

What I didn't like is how they wrote Crystal out of the series. She was one of my favorite side characters and it didn't make much sense to just drop her, considering she was not only Roseanne's best friend (behind Jackie), but now technically her mother-in-law.

She was largely absent from season five onward and, outside the first episode of season eight, didn't make one appearance in the final two seasons.

Even before then, though, here character was slowly phased out.

What I didn't like is how they wrote Crystal out of the series. She was one of my favorite side characters and it didn't make much sense to just drop her, considering she was not only Roseanne's best friend (behind Jackie), but now technically her mother-in-law.

She was largely absent from season five onward and, outside the first episode of season eight, didn't make one appearance in the final two seasons.

I heard a lot of the reason that this happened was because Crystal's character was based largely on Roseanne's real-life sister and when she stopped speaking to her that was when she wrote her out of the show. This is just what I have read, I don't know if this is really true or not. Personally, I like Crystal and I think it was a shame that she went from being a regular on the show to barely being in it at all. Oh, well what is done is done, though I missed Crystal a lot in later seasons. She was a great character.

Let me preface by saying I LOVE LOVE LOVE the show. But since you asked... :)

New becky. If I had to watch her deliver a line and storm out of a room one more time, I'd scream. "Who'd want to go to bed with a fat lady? I gotta go talk to Mark." Storms out. "Leave it alone, I'll handle it!" Storms out.


Roseanne's voice in season one.

Jackie in later seasons. She went from one of my all time favorite tv characters to just a caricature of her former character. what a waste.

Any episode where a woman was pregnant, therefore the man had no rights. I cheered Fred on when he threatened to sue Jackie. And Roseanne screaming at Dan that it was her body, her choice, ugh!

Lecy when she returned to the show. That dopey voice she used irked me to no end!

Season 9. Actually season 8 and 9.

The episodes when Roseanne worked at the hair salon.

The verbal abuse in later seasons.

It really is minor but when DJ is asking about religion. Dan says so and so is Methodist, Baptist, and pentecostal. Those are denominations. On the other hand maybe it was to show that Dan does not know much about religion.

Not really. DJ asked what religion they were and I think Dan's answer was entirely appropriate. A great deal of religion doesn't boil down to 'Christian' and 'non-Christian' and even within Protestant religions, using the blanket term 'We're Protestants' is just a vague answer that it leaves a lot on the table.

If you're Methodist and someone asks you what your religion is, saying Methodist is perfectly acceptable because, unlike, say, Catholicism, there is no one universal Protestant governing authority. Even within Protestantism, there are branches completely unique of one another and therefore someone identifying with that branch, as opposed to 'Protestant' or just 'Christian' is very common.

When someone asks me what my religion is, I tell them I'm Catholic. If someone asks a Baptist what their religion is, I wouldn't be shocked to hear 'Baptist' same for Mormons or any other Christian denomination.

Pentecostalism is pretty different, in a lot of ways, than your traditional Baptist churches. So, I think Dan's answer works perfect because DJ's question was 'What religion are we' and religion is more than just 'Christian and non-Christian' or 'Catholic and Protestant' - it's too diverse to just narrow it down to those choices.

Oh yeah! Sometimes some of the stuff she did made me wonder if she was on drugs or something.With those goofy expressions..
I used to think the SAME thing!!! I thought maybe she was addicted to hallucingenic drugs or PCP or perhaps that she had suffered a nervous breakdown.

David's Hairstyle LOL


what the hell was those two curls hanging down?

For me, the show really was horrible after Dan lost the cycle shop and Roseanne lost her job at the restaurant. After that, Roseanne was very mean and rude to her family and friends. Before that, she was caring and loved them, even though she cracked a lot of jokes about them. After they lost their jobs, she just became down right rude.

I also hated Jackie when she got looney in the later episodes. I always thought that Roseanne had the writers make Jackie like that because Lauire Metcalf won an emmy and Roseanne never did. I always thought it was her jealousy over the award that made the writers turn the Jackie character into an idiot.

It was almost as if she became a Ralph Furley type, LOL.

That's a good comparison! :lol:

Having been a teen before (way back when) we girls tend to do that...we don't know what we have until it's too late. Roseanne was real, it was the closet thing to reality that alot of people could relate to. I knew alot of friends that treated their mom and dads like dirt. Talking back, skipping school, cussing, yelling, etc. I am guilty of having done all of those. Unfortunately it's reality of alot of teens. NOT ALL OF THEM MIND YOU.
If you had a family like the Conners wouldn't you care more about your boyfriend?

LOL, I was giving yoiu the troll test and you appear to be legit.


Welcome to the Boards:wave:

I'd love to be with the Conners!

When Roseanne and Jackie broke into the rival restaurant and Roseanne got stuck in the ventilation. That was more like slapstick I Love Lucy material, which wasn't what the show was about.
