The show about the "typical average family"..and how many families do you know like them?

Show Rating
****

The hit sitcom Roseanne lasted nine years before finally ending its run last year.

The show is about the lives of Roseanne Conner, her husband Dan, and their three children - the intelligent Becky, the humourless and always downcast Darlene and DJ and Roseanee's sister Jacky.

The relationship between Roseanne and Dan is at the heart of the show but Darlene, with her dark sarcastic wit is probably my favourite character fom the regulars.

The show also benefited from a great supporting cast, in particular Darlene's boyfriend David who played the submissive sensitive other half to Darlene extremely well.

The appeal of the show probably comes from its everyday typical American family background. The characters are very real and easy to associate with while the humour is often very crude.
