PopularA popular sitcom that ran from 1988 to 1997 on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]., It'''''Roseanne''''' focused on the trials of the working-class Conner family. There was mother Roseanne (Roseanne Barr); father Dan (John Goodman in [[Star-Making Role|the role that made him famous]]); preppy daughter Becky (originally played by Lecy Goranson, and taken over by Sarah Chalke -- one of the most famous instances of [[The Other Darrin]] outside of [[Bewitched|Darrin]] himself); sarcastic daughter Darlene (Sara Gilbert); son D.J. (Michael Fishman); and Roseanne's younger sister Jackie (Laurie Metcalf).
 
Probably the [[Trope Codifier]] for the [[Dysfunctional Family]] on American TV. The Conners were generally stable but were still prone to dealing with domestic arguments, problematic neighbors, daughters who seemed to [[All Girls Want Bad Boys|like bad boys]] and taking in a kid whose home life was far worse than theirs. The Healey brothers, Mark (Glenn Quinn) and David (Johnny Galecki) were added to the show as long time boyfriends to Becky and Darlene, eventually marrying them. The show was also noted for a welcome subversion to the [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]] rule.
