Roseanne was one of the most successful series of the late '80s and early '90s. It always received great ratings and was awarded with 4 Emmys, 3 Golden Globes and 4 American Comedy Awards. The show ran from 1988 to 1997 and ended with one of the most original (and confusing for some) endings in TV history.

When it comes down to it, Roseanne: Season Nine is strictly for the fans. There is too much of a deviation from the series previous to it that it makes it almost unbelievable. By the same token it is fun, but too many outrageous things make the show implausible and not as funny. With the show ending on a surprise that is still bothersome, one can either deny its existence or find some peace with it. Season Nine is a must for hardcore fans, but proceed with caution, because once you’ve watched it all, you can’t take it back.

By far the most unfortunate of these extras is the preview for "Rockin' with Roseanne," the latest in a new series of children's videos the Domestic Goddess has been cranking out. If anything could mar the memory of what a great series Roseanne was and how wonderful Roseanne herself was on it, it is this image of her in pigtails with fake freckles painted onto her face singing an insipid song about being afraid of monsters. Sigh. Roseanne used to "tell it like it is" about neglected topics like working-class families, managing kids and jobs, talking to daughters about sex and birth control, and gay family members. Now she claims to "tell it like it is" to kids, then proceeds to sing a boring song about cowboys with none of her trademark wit.
