Roseanne: Abc Family
built 627 days ago
Born in Salt Lake City, Utah, Roseanne knew by age three that she was going to be a comic and have her own show. She would entertain family members on Friday evenings when they gathered in her grandmother's apartment for Sabbath dinner. The reaction she received convinced her she was indeed the Center of the Universe, which she still believes to this day. Roseanne produced, wrote, directed and starred in the annual neighborhood plays and shows at the junior high school. When she was 18, she moved to the mountains of Colorado and lived in an artists' colony. There she met a man who had one of the few bathtubs in the county.

Wise-cracking butt-insky Roseanne personifies "tough love." She domineers her kids and Dan, and she manipulates situations to get her way. Dan often finds himself left out of decisions that involve the household, which leads to heated arguments. But even though she'll never win parent of the year, it's clear that Roseanne's love for her family is her strongest motivation.

Throughout the process, Roseanne struggles to keep a lid on her frustrations and makes an effort to be more clear and more kind to those around her. She aims to deal professionally in a family business -- which just happens to be show business.

Dan's surprise birthday party coincides with Roseanne's "time of the month," inspiring fear and horror in the family, who have come to expect the worst from her PMS. Like most of the episodes that require Roseanne to become a terrifyingly extreme version of herself, this one gets real annoying real fast, as does the stereotypical exaggerated depiction of PMS.

Today, you can formally bid ''Roseanne'' farewell (7 p.m. on ABC, rated TV-PG, Channel 28, Cox Cable Channel 8). But the hour-long finale - three-fourths of it, at least - is a listless, sentimental exercise.
