Show Summary
Roseanne was the biggest new hit on TV during the
late 1980s. A blue-collar family in Landford, Illinois,
mom, not dad was the center of the household; both were
hefty people (and always in the kitchen), not TV-handsome;
both worked; and when mom got home, she never failed to
have a foul word for her kids. Chronically short on money,
with employment precarious, the Connors needed to keep
laughing. Dan was an intermittently employed small-time
contractor, who eventually opened a motorcycle shop.
Roseanne and her sister, Jackie, at first worked at a
plastics plant. Later they had various other jobs,
eventually opening their own business, the Landford
Lunch Box. Becky was the boy-crazed oldest child,
Darlene, the tomboy, and D.J., the six-year-old
who idolized his dad.
