Roseanne was an American sitcom which aired on ABC from 1988 to 1997, starring the stand-up comedian
Roseanne Barr.
The show portrayed a lower middle-class family living in fictional Lanford, Illinois and struggling to get by on a limited income. For many years,
Roseanne was, in contrast to many of the most popular shows at the time (such as The Cosby Show) honest in its depiction of family life, and tackled subjects of poverty, alcoholism, sex, and homosexuality in ways unlike other shows. The show was hugely successful from the getgo and inspired a rash of stand-ups getting their own sitcom deals (a practice that continued for decades afterwards). But over time the series began to be known more for the public and backstage scandals of Barr (there was constant turnover of writers and producers through the course of the series, including her second husband, Tom Arnold) and drifted away from the original source, and by the mid-90's, the show dropped sharply in the ratings.
One of the more documented moments of the series occurred in the 6th season when Lecy Goranson (Becky) left the series. Instead of writing Becky out, the producers recast her with
Sarah Chalke, and wary of the potential backlash to reshaping a longtime role, chose to defuse the criticism. At the end of Chalke's first episode, the Connor family watched a Bewitched episode and several characters complained about the recast of Darren Stevens. Chalke smiled and said she'd always liked the second Darren best. Gorenson returned to the role several years later only to leave again and to be replaced by Chalke. The final season's opening credits (a morph of cast photos over the years) alternated shots of both women for Becky.
