Do a search on this board... there have been plenty of topics about this, I posted a description of the episode on at least one.

Well, Dan does not die. he has a heart attack at Darlene's wedding. He does leave Roseanne because he has an affair with a nurse in California. He does appear in this episodes, even though i've never seen it, i know this is true. I also heard it kinda sucks, but i'm still really mad, because Nick at Night isnt showing it. But, the plot is supposed to be really confusing. It involves Roseanne giving a monolouge about how the whole series (esp. the ninth season) was about what she thought a perfect life would be. All the characters were based on people in Roseanne's life. "Dan" doesnt survive his heart attack, "Darlene" marries "Mark" "Becky" marries "David" "Jackie" is gay, etc.

The finale is pretty boring and unfunny, werll, until the monologue.

The family prepares and cleans the house as Darlene is about to bring the baby home. There's some remeniscing, Roseanne and Darelen have a misunderstanding (Darlene thinks Roseanne wants her, David and the baby to leave, but Roseanne wants them to stay). Everybody visits the baby and does baby faces, ect, Leon and his Scott announce they're going to adopt a baby, Becky announces that she's pregnant.

Then they all go to the kitchen to eat and Roseanne, in a voice-over starts revealing the truth about the show to the viewers. As she reveals the truth about each character, they all change (ie- Darlene and Mark still together, Becky and David try to plan an evening, Bev goes on about how the women's right movement has ruined something or other).

then she gets to Dan and reveals that he really died, and says something about him, then everything fades to black and Roseanne is in the basement. This is where she delievers the monologue about raising her kids and how powerful women are. Then she announces she done with the book, and she walks back upstairs and the entire set is pre-lottery again, overplayed by a slow, bluesy version of the theme song. Roseanne sits down on the coach, there's a quote by TH Lawrence, and then there's the laugh.

The finale still does get me, even though the first 40 minutes are quite boring, the last 20 still hit me emotionally. The laugh was a very good way to end it, although it could have been more authentic. Did anybody else find that laugh really forced and fake?

I always thought it sounded pretty forced.

I always thought the pretentious literary quotation (Season 9 being of such bad quality especially) a bit much.

I can't remember any of the finale except the monologue.
