Roseanne was one of the most popular US TV shows of the 80s and 90s. It got revived a few years ago which went famously pear shaped, but it’s still running without Roseanne Barr.

That one Jo Brand did when she was a nurse then a care worker was excellent. Also caught a few of one called Mum when I was back on a visit (to my Mum) and they seemed good.

I Love Lucy with Lucille Ball was the biggest US TV series of the 50s

also The Honeymooners, in which Alice was the sensible one who spat right back at Ralph every time. a fair depiction of nyc working class life at that time (i speak from experience).

and from the 90s, Grace Under Fire.

Grace Under Fire was not bad but a bit of Roseanne rip-off with an equally troubled lead actress, who unlike Roseanne Barr at least seems to have put her life back together. Last saw her on The Walking Dead.

brett butler's alright. i like this quote, "I spent the first twenty years of my life waiting for two men I was reasonably certain would never come back — my daddy and Jesus Christ. I don’t wait for them anymore. My dad, anyway. And at least with Jesus I didn’t spend all that time thinking he was gone because of something I did."

barr was always a shit.
