Which "Roseanne" character would've been great in their own spin-off? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Tyler77 · 06-14-2003, 09:39 PM

With so many characters introduced throughout Roseanne's run, some had potential to be spun off into their own shows. Some that come to mind:

Crystal--because Dan's father deserted her after she gave birth to their baby, her show would've revolved her being a single mom. Plus he had that "Southern type of comedy (like Thelma Harper).

Nancy--after Arnie left her, she was was free to date whomever (!) she wanted!!!

Nana Mary--Whenever she'd enter the room, the audience went wild with all the cheering!! Maybe her show would've had her moving in with her daughter (Roseanne and Jackie's mom) in the retirement village.

Of course Darlene and David, with them going away to art school, there's no telling what kinds of trouble they'd get into!!

Fee free to add your own!!

That's a hard question. But Bev would've been kind of interesting to see in her own series.

When did Dan's father abandon Crystal? Also, Crystal isnt even southern, she just talks that way. I remember in one episode Roseanne or Jackie say something like "Whats up with that accent anyway, youre from Lanford!"

I think a good spin off would have been with Roseanne and Dan's friends Rhonda and her husband...what's his name?...Jack, Henry...something. Anyway, they were funny and I really enjoy shows centering around black families (even though I'm not black).

i dont think i could have standed a darlene spinn-off show, i would go mad, shes funny when she is in the conner family context but on her own there would have been a sarcasm overload.

stephy · 11-15-2003, 12:31 PM

becky and mark wouldda been cool

bubblegum · 11-15-2003, 05:18 PM

D&D would have been cool even though Darlene was really with Mark and Becky married David. I wouldnt have liked Bev because she was annoying when she was on Roseanne I couldn't watch her every week. Nancy would have been cool

iloveTV · 11-16-2003, 08:39 PM

Here's another one:
Bonnie and her husband...Duke? It would have been kinda like Grace Under Fire.

I wouldn't have been able to watch any spin-offs. Why? I loved the cast as they were too much to see them canabilized for the sake of more series.

But if i had to pick, I would probably say David/Darlene or Mark/Becky would make the best spin-offs. Or some of the side characters, like Bonnie or Anne-Marie. They probably would have ended up like Harriet from Family Matters, who was on Perfect Strangers before FM was spun off. They probably would have drifted off and became background characters.

Brieannas21 · 05-13-2005, 01:08 AM
