The Ten Best ROSEANNE Episodes of Season Eight

[TMC]

Season Eight is the final year that wasn’t, for negotiations about the series’ return came down to the wire, turning several episodes into a narrative mess, as mounting closure suddenly gave way to an unpleasant open-ended cliffhanger designed to spark last-minute story, and in this case, allow one of the leads to have his future presence reduced… But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s start at the top: as before, Roseanne is mediocre now because it’s no longer writing to its blue-collar identity and has lost a lot of its trademark believability amidst episodic tricks that also indicate a poor use of character. While Eight largely sidesteps the tired romantic angst that plagued Seven, it’s saddled with many more gimmicks, including fantasy sequences (which invade its Halloween and Thanksgiving outings, totally destroying their previously relatable character-revealing ethos), stunt castings (like Martin Mull’s Fernwood 2-Night pal Fred Willard as his hubby), and unmotivated hooks, such as an on-location Disney World trip.

Season eight IMO is one of the best ones.

1. “The Thrilla Vanilla Extract” (Food fight at the grocery with Roseanne & Jackie)
2. “The Fifties Show”
3. “The Last Date” (When Roseanne and Dan sneak into the Bar Mitzvah)

I will have to rewatch the other eps of s 8… tbh I think they should have stopped after this one …s 9 was just awful! !
