yes, season 6 was really the last "great" season (season 7 was pretty bad IMO but for reasons Roseanne couldn't control [she missed a large number of episodes because she got very sick during her pregnancy, and frankly focusing the show on Dan and David/Mark/Fred didn't help keep the quality up while she was getting better], but seasons 8 and 9 both had their share of great episodes alongside not-so-great episodes), ironically it starts going downhill in the last fourth of the season, which was when Roseanne and Tom Arnold split up. You could tell just how important he was to the process of the show even if he couldn't act his way out of a paper bag, IMO, the show started really taking off in the second of season 2 which was, bingo, when Roseanne and Tom married.
