This show perfectly captures the essence of everyday life. The way you have to work tirelessly and relentlessly for the most marginal little thing to go anywhere at all in your favor only for life to undo all your progress on a whim. I like how this series even makes a point of showing that problems don't even have to abide by any sort of logic or natural law; things go wrong simply because they do, just like in real life.
I don't know how this show can be called a comedy. It's far too realistic to be funny. -

Well, I'm feeling better now since I am the proud author of a book. Dying is Easy is now available on Lulu.com and it is proof that even I am capable of winning once in a while and were there's for me, there's hope for anyone.

You probably had to turn off the explicit content filter. This book ain't for sissys! -

I wouldn't call MwC realistic. You just described Roseanne.
MwC had over-the-top humour like Al getting struck by lightning and tossed like a dummy, Peg's mum being so overweight she makes the house rattle like an Earthquake, Peg not knowing how to use an oven to forgetting her kids names…it wasn't realistic in the least.

Roseanne was a good show. The Conners sucks, and I don't think the first season of the re-boot of Roseanne was very good, just like the final season, but I guess it was because they lost their working-class ways after hitting the lottery.

Wasn't winning the lottery all in Roseanne's mind like coping with Dan's death? I watched the first season when the show came back in 2018 and they retconned it changing the girl's boyfriends who did die (Mark was his name?). I never came back for season 2 after they killed off Rosie. Laurie Metcalf is insufferable.

Yeah, his name was Mark.
I think that was retrospective revisionism for the audience to accept the re-boot. They won the lottery, and then in the last episode, Dan dies, which isn't sentimental, it's just cheap. Same thing happened in "The Wonder Years". An online friend of mine actually said he cried, which was the first time he expressed any emotion, but it was so cheap, and this guy is a very intelligent fella.
Metcalf bugs the hell out of me, but Darlene is twice as bad in this new re-boot ****. I just saw two episodes yesterday, and it's bad, but it goes down easier because there is a history. Roseanne is too strong of a personality to just kill off. I wonder if there's any chance she could come back. I didn't care for her rolling all over the place with the "celeb rabbi" schmooley to placate criticism, or her sudden interest in judaism, but she WAS the show.. I do like John Goodman a lot, but with Sarah Gilbert "producing" (money man), she tries to take over as the supposed new queen, but her acting is so awful, which is odd, because her acting/character in the first 9 seasons of Roseanne is pretty good.. I'm sure it's all politically corrected. DJ (the worst actor) marrying "Gina", the black girl he didn't wanna kiss, which was actually a good episode. Neither of them have been in the new re-boot for longer than 2 minutes, but now the daughter has been given away by DJ to be a Conner.
I don't know if you remember Molly, the girl who was flirting with David. She came back on yesterday. They keep doing this out of desperation. I can't believe the show hasn't been canceled.

Could be I gave Darlene a pass for being a couple years older than me or if I continued to watch I would have the same sentiment. I've seen the clip where Jackie slaps her at Thanksgiving and a clip of Dan scolding a neighbor for supplying pills to Rosie. Becky then comes out and says she found the same bottle of pills in her closet. Tells you how bad the writing is now.

Maybe this is an experiment. "Let's hire high school kids to write this, and see how it does with the illusion it's good"

At least the show made us laugh and cry. It was a brilliant series. Completely underrated for a very long time and ahead of it's time. Before Married With Children, tv families were portrayed like they were perfect family unit, and every problem got saved in at least 2 episodes.

Well Roseanne was never realistic. You guys keep trying to revive that show. It didn't work. Just like it didn't work me getting rid of all those people that sit around in their cars parked out in driveways waiting around to bother me.
