What does everyone else think?

I feel the tribute was very nice, and the clips they showed were great! "Roseanne" really was an innovative show for several reasons:

1. It showed a woman ruling the house, which was never before seen on TV! (ie: feminism)
2. It showed a family that had two overweight parents
3. It was one of the first shows to have re-occurring homosexual characters, who were shown in a positive light
4. It showed the working class family having a liberal perspective
5. It showed children and teenagers dealing with issues most sitcoms never addressed (birth control, sex, masturbation, drugs)

However, I felt the acceptance speech could have been better planned out. Everyone seemed a bit awkward. But overall, I'm glad critics realize the impact "Roseanne" had on television! Aside from a few OK last seasons, and a bad final season, "Roseanne" had just as many great seasons as "I Love Lucy" had in total. And I can't help but feel people need to realize this. If "Roseanne" had ended after season 6, would it be better remembered? Yes. And I think that's unfair, because "Roseanne" had just as many great seasons as other shows did, it just ran on too long. And it's not fair that these other shows are ranked higher than "Roseanne" on best TV show lists because they stopped while they were ahead, even though they have the same amount of great seasons in total as "Roseanne" has. (Sorry for the rant!)
