Roseanne/YMMV

Ensemble Darkhorse: Darlene, who quickly became the most popular of the kids.
Fanon Discontinuity: A lot of people have this reaction to the show's final season, and the final episode in particular.
Fridge Brilliance: After Darlene and David start dating, an episode deals with him being overly clingy and constantly hanging around the Connor house. All aimable and typical, right? Well, not too many episodes later, viewers meet David's abusive mother and get a good idea of what his home life is like. Re-watching the earlier episode with that in mind, David has more of a reason to cling to Darlene than what everyone else thought.
- The Conners struggle financially, but live in a three-bedroom house with private bathrooms for each, with a garage, laundry room, and a finished basement. Most of the improvements were probably Dan's handiwork.
Hilarious in Hindsight: “Ladies’ Choice”, Nancy comes out as a lesbian, but she wishes that she could become a heterosexual again because she got ‘fed up with women’. It was later revealed in another episode, that Jackie is also lesbian. This was before Sara Gilbert, who played Darlene, would be the one who comes out as a lesbian despite dating a guy and having two children.
Retroactive Recognition: George Clooney is the factory foreman and dating Jackie in Season 1!
- The Chief from Grey's Anatomy is one of Dan's poker buddies!
- David became a brilliant physicist with a quirky roomate.
- Looks like Becky 2 made good on her plan to go to school to become a doctor.
Seasonal Rot: The ninth and final season. The show had been in decline for some years before then, and opinions vary on when it started, but the last season is generally seen as being by far the worst (the drastic Genre Shift did not help matters).
- Of course, the revelation that the whole show was Roseanne's book, and the last season represented Roseanne's decline as an author after the death of her husband rescued it for most people.
Tear Jerker: Dear God, the last episode.
- If you've ever had a... rough childhood, so to speak, the end of "Fights and Stuff" can be downright hard to watch.
The Woobie: David. Especially once we meet his mother.
