Roseanne: Season 6, Episode 25: Altar egos

Jackie thought she heard a creeper so she called Dan. Fred is jealous. Fred and Jackie do not have a good time at things. They seem to always be in a tiff.
Fred confronts Dan about Jackie having a crush on him. And Fred punches Dan.

Jackie says she's stuck in a dead end job...she's coowner of a restaurant. How is that dead end.? Other than the fact she has no health insurance.

Yay it's time to get married! In the living room at the Conners house. Omg man love. That was amazing. Dan gave Fred an awesome smooch.

Jackie is leaking milk in her wedding dress. And she's breast feeding while getting married. Woo public breast feeding.
And married! Woo!

Roseanne: Season 6, Episode 24: Isn't it Romantic?

Jackie is mad because Fred asked to move in rather than to get married.

Roseanne tells Fred to shave his goatee. Nooooo men with goatees are awesomesauce.

Aww.  Darlene is nervous to hold baby Andy.
David said its a woman's obligation to have babies. I love how feminist this show is that this is a debate.

Fred no beard! Will you marry me? And he's trying really hard to be romantic. It's so cute and a little awkward.
And now we are in a weird tv dream sequence with Roseanne.

Dan is now trying to be romantic with wine, fire, and a dirty VHS rental. Fail.

I like the sexism competition between Becky/mark Darlene/David. As it relates to parenting and bringing in the $.
Dan buys Roseanne a dishwasher to be romantic. So cute.  It's the kind we used to have that hooks up to the sink and wheels out of the way

Jackie accepted Fred's romantic proposal. Hooray. Except that they're going to get divorced, which is sad. I like Fred. Maybe it'll work out this time.

Roseanne: Season 6, Episode 21: Lies my Father told me

Dan tries to blame his dad for his mom's mental health. He is also not ready to use humor to diffuse the situation.
I like Darlene and David's DJ trick to make him think he's crazy.

Ohh, Dan's drunk and going crazy at his Dad's. And Lonny tries to stand up to him.

Dan's Dad REAAAALLLLLY doesn't want to talk about it.

Roseanne: Season 6, Episode 20: Past Imperfect

Dan's Dad isn't paying alimony, so Dan has to give his mom $400. But Roseanne is worried she's going to do something loopy with it.

Jackie has a new short bob. Seems like lots of new mama's opt for shorter hair.

Dan is a good feminist.

Dan's mom is cray cray. Dan had to take her to the looney bin.
And since of course they don't talk about things like mental health, it's even harder.

Roseanne: Season 6, Episode 19: Labor Day

Jackie is 3 days late to deliver:
"I have a 3 day old child inside of me!" - Jackie
She is gigantic. And now has a outie nipple looking belly button.

Dan advises Fred to wear a cup in the delivery room.

Jackie's water broke. And now Roseanne took her to her house to grab crosswords and a bag of stuff for the hospital.

No insurance, just a public aid medical card. They want to send her to county. But she's having one of them emergency births.

Has Laurie Metcalf already given birth? Her stomach no longer looks ginormous.
They can't find Fred! Where'd he go? How far would he really be when he know's Jackie is about to pop? How did people do this before cell phones.

"Jackie, you haven't shaved your legs. My god, the baby's liable to be born with rugburn. " - Bev

There's Fred! Whew. Being the manly man. Demanding that they both stay in the room. And promptly passing out.

Are we really seeing the birth from the babies perspective? Yes we are. 


Roseanne: Season 6, Episode 18: Don't ask, Don't tell

Nancy's dating Sharon, and they are all going to go dancin'.
The return of Dean! Becky's ex. But he's here to take Darlene to school ooOOOoooo.

They make gay bars look way more fun than they actually are. I love how uncomfortable Jackie is about being there. And they can actually hear each other talk.

Sharon kissed Roseanne! And Roseanne is befuddled! She tries to talk to Nancy, who thinks is no big deal. Is it not a concern that Roseanne is married? Regardless of being straight or gay, isn't there a presumed monogamy knowing that she's married?

Jackie thinks that it's not reasonable that Roseanne is freaked out on Dan's behalf. But, spouse kissing another person... bad.

Now Dan is befuddled. And slightly turned on :)

Roseanne: Season 6, Episode 17: Don't make room for daddy

Jackie's first ultrasound! Even though she's GIANT.
Crazed Jackie is crazed! Fred is suing for custody.

And we get to see the Garage break room.
I enjoy the dynamic of watching Mark & DJ vs David.
Roseanne and Dan are both bad at pretending when they don't know things.

This is an interesting gendered debate.
The womenz think that since Jackie is growing the baby, that she should have complete control of the baby.
The menz think that since they are the biological fathers that they should get rights to the baby.
David is the tie breaker.

"all guys are jealous. because we all really want to have babies, but we can't." - David
That is apparently the magical get out of jail with girls card.

Jackie and Fred are back together!

Roseanne: Season 6, Episode 16: Everyone Comes to Jackie's

Darlene comes home. And Dan wants to take her to get a sundae. In the middle of winter.
Uh oh, theyr're in the basement. I think this is one of the first times we see the basement as a pseudo-bedroom.
Dan catching them making out in the basement. Whew. Intense.

Yay, David is coming home! And David is being super awkward, I love it. "When we're having our... tenderness"

Roseanne: Season 6, Episode 15: David vs. Goliath

Scared David is scared.
Dan punched a hole in the wall!

I love when David thinks Jackie is coming on to her. Hilarious.
Obvious attempts to guilt Dan into changing his mind about David.

So far David is still at Jackie's.

Roseanne: Season 6, Episode 14: Busted

Trouble living with your boyfriend as a teenager? Who'da thunk. I'm still amazed that David just dropped out of school essentially.

And trouble with marriage when you're still teenagery and eloped at 17. Mark doesn't want to come back.

Mark's friend's name is Roy-al! I <3 a="a" actually="actually" bratty="bratty" but="but" canoe.="canoe." care="care" douche="douche" he="he" his="his" isn="isn" it.="it." mark="mark" nbsp="nbsp" not="not" of="of" p="p" s="s" smart="smart" t="t" take="take" to="to" wants="wants" wife.="wife.">
Oh noes! Roy-al spilled the beans. Mark is trying to be a good guy and help get David from Chicago.

Dan is making grilled cheese for dinner.

Roseanne: Season 6, Episode 13: Suck up or Shut up

Is this a new theme song, or am I just not used to the one this season yet?
Carol Brady!

What I've gathered from the episode so far is that networking is about telling really lame jokes and pretending to think that other people's lame jokes are funny.

Mark isn't going to school, he's drinking at the Lobo! That ho.

Elijah, man, that's a bad name for a kid. No wonder he's a weirdo.

I really want the lamp that the Conner's have in their living room.

And there's a cameo by some soap opera stars I don't know. Apparently Dan doesn't know them either. Luke and Laura. I prefer Luke and Lorelai.

Roseanne: Season 6, Episode 12: White Trash Christmas

Roseanne and Dan can afford to send Becky to community college! It's scary that they couldn't pay for community college before...
The neighborhood association wants them to not put up horrible decorations. So of course, they are going to put up even more tacky horrible decorations. Love it. 

"Why can't either of you take me seriously?" - Becky
"Because you have words on your butt!" - Roseanne

Male bonding on the roof. 

Yess, beer can wreath. So festive! And barking dogs singing Jingle Bells.

Roseanne: Season 6, Episode 11: The Driver's Seat

No health insurance at the diner. Yeah, that's no good.

Roseanne: Season 6, Episode 10: Thanksgiving 1993

Mmm hamburger helper for dinner. Since when was Becky back in the credits? They seem longer. Yup music is longer.

Jackie is suddenly über pregnant
"We're a fertile people, Jackie"- Fred.

Ooh. Bev got pregnant with Roseanne before she was pregnant. And bev freaks out when everyone finds out. Bev is so dramatic I love it.

Dan and mark come to fisticuffs. We don't actually get to see the shot tho.

I like that they hit each other and both feel better and now everything is better.

David and Darlene have an Emo Mac and cheese dinner in her apt in Chicago for thanksgiving.
