The best part about this show was they were lower-middle class and they had real middle-class problems.

I never liked Roseanne as a kid and I just realized it's because they were kinda poor and I didn't want to admit we were poor too...

When this show was new I immediately fell in love with Darleen. I'm 40 now and still sad that she likes girls.

It took me until I saw the show again as a teen to realize I was looking for my Darlene. Always wound up with Becky though...

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

that seems a bit silly IMO. I mean, even if she were heterosexual she'd probably be married and unavailable anyway.

LOL at the downvotes. Yes, be sad that she's a lesbian, that makes sense *eyeroll*

He wears his weight well, has an awesome presence about him, he's confident, and has a great voice.

He's overweight, with a typical amount of facial hair. If you grew up with this show I think it's more of a sentimental feeling.

Falso- he's overweight, granted. But look at the last pic! he's stunning. The smolder!

If you hadn't watched this show growing up and he wasn't famous you'd probably just see him as another fat guy on the street.
