I love the show Roseanne because I can relate. They were poor working-class people trying to survive and I know that feeling. There was some really great episodes! I will always be a fan of Roseanne.

[@atlanticmermaid2739]

I haven't watched the Conners show once. Shame on them. It's your time now.

[@rongenung]

Roseanne made the actors playing her TV family stars, millionaires and celebrities. How did they repay her? She was kicked off her own show, her co-stars publicly trashed her and continue to live off her characters, her TV show and her generosity. Roseanne is still the star. I hope she is still earning money from that now pathetic program.

[@ptrpan61]

Agree! Her TV family turned on her after she made them millionaires and even today with the Connors show, still making money!

[@josierosie100]

I agree … have never watched an episode of ‘The Conners” …. Disgusting what they did to Rosie

[@rongenung]

Watched Roseanne religiously. Horrible the way they stabbed her in the back. So good to see Roseanne again, sad theyll never make a show like this again.

[@cowboys4life956]

Roseann has aged like fine wine. She's a beautiful looking elder woman.

[@monaonassis6346]

We never watched again after they fired her. It pained us because I can’t tell you how many of my friends had watch parties when she came back. It’s was so needed and so exciting to have her back in our homes, on TV, playing this character we all loved. They did her dirty. Everyone needs to listen to what Roseanne says about MK Ultra in Hollywood - it’s all true.

[@patsk8872]

The cancer revealed in the disgusting behavior of the people who fired Roseanne and her friends who threw her under the bus, is permeating our society and is terminal.

Roseanne was the only show where no matter how down in the dumps I felt, it would guarantee make me laugh out loud and put a smile on my face (especially seasons 1-6).

[@rongold7719]

I think she got a raw deal. When her show was remade. It’s her show and they owe her their fame.

I admit I was disappointed that Rosie was so left in the past , but always loved her comedy and HER show. It spoke to everyone in middle America . It was so good we could agree to disagree , no big deal , you made everyone smile and laugh. What they did to her is disgusting! Without her none of her "co stars" would have had a career. Still love ya Rosie ...always will. God Bless.

[@emiliaescobar7652]

She is a Unique/Awesome actress! Only thing I didn't like about her, was when she sang the National Anthem, but other than that, she is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Sarah-uc9vc]

I was surprised to find The Conners was still on air. I stopped watching after Rosanne left. There would be no show without her.

[@kjm1529]

I think the ratings tanked after she was fired, but they had to keep it going out of pride.

[@JoaniesJourney]

I haven't watched ONE episode of that show since. All of their faces make me SICK!!! Roseanne is right about being rescued out of that cesspool. She will always have the last laugh! 👍❤👏

[@jga59]

Roseanne's show was one of the greatest in television history.

[@Realparisgirl]

Love you Roseanne! Loved your show. Never watched it again. You are awesome and you will do even better. Forget those jerks

[@veron6984]

Here in the UK it used to air on a Friday We just looked forward to Fridays watching the show with the family. I feel so sorry for Rseanne for the way her co-stars especially Sara Gilbert, has treated her. Love Roseanne.❤

[@lauriecederstrommatson1043]

Pisses me off that the show turned into The Conners! I had hoped it would fail after what they did to Roseanne.

[@KarenWard-rh7fg]

The ratings are horrible, but I think they keep it on to prove a point to people. I did not watch not one episode once Roseanne was fired. So happy to see her happy now.

I have loved Roseanne Barr from the beginning of her stand-up comedy and I have stood by her still. She’s a brilliant comedian.

[@bernadettesandoval3990]

My fave episode was when they couldn't cover the utility bills one month so Roseanne wrote a check for the gas company and sent it to the electric company and vice versa to give them an extra pay period to cover everything! Genious!!

[@karenvandersluis4809]

I remember how all the tabloids, back then, would always write about, "How difficult Roseanne Barr" was on the set..... Now we know how it really was for her.... So sorry Roseanne that I believed "Them" and bought and read those rag mags....

[@helenpeterson315]

In either 88 or 89 Roseanne came here to Davenport Iowa in he start of her "domestic goddess" stage routine tour, the day after ppl at work talked about how fabulous her work was, funny funny funny stuff...shameful how the suits treated her and those actors who without Roseanne would be completely unknown, it's her character, her genius, her work, thrilled Roseanne has come back with a passion, God bless her

[@KatrinaT]

I loved watching Roseanne, my mom hated it, but I think it hit too close to home! Re-watching it takes me back to my childhood in so many ways. Blue collar parents, crochet afghan on the couch, brusque but loving mom who's working her butt off... If they would have had goats and prioritized horses over a nice house and vehicles, it would be even closer. I had a great childhood.

[@chaseme9860]

The show hit home for working women. Remember when she missed out on a great job because she didn't know anything about computers? "I worked on my feet at Wellman".

[@flavadave3943]

Incredible that the world has shifted so far to the left, that we’re admiring a woman who was always and is still very socially liberal. And a show which was about as woke as things got back then is somehow remembered as a show about normal middle America.
