* [[The Other Darrin]]: One of the most egregious and ridiculous examples of all time, with plenty of unabashed [[Lampshade Hanging]]. When Lecy Goranson left the show for school, Becky was written out as having moved to Minnesota, but eventually returned, now played by Sarah Chalke. At the beginning of the 8th season, Goranson returned and played Becky steadily for a run of episodes, with Chalke actually ''cameoing as a different character'' in the Halloween episode. After this, Chalke was brought in again as Becky on-and-off over the course of that season for any episodes Goranson was unavailable for, including the Disneyworld two-parter and Darlene's wedding. Finally, at the beginning of the 9th and final season, Chalke took over again all the way until the finale.
{{quote|Becky (Chalke), while watching ''[[Bewitched]]'': I like the ''second'' Darrin much better.
Roseanne (to Goranson): Where the hell have you been? It feels like you've been gone for three years! }}
** "Ladies and gentlemen, the role of Becky Conner, formerly played by Lecy Goranson, then by Sarah Chalke, and then Lecy Goranson again, will be played tonight by Sarah Chalke."
** Naturally, Lampshaded in one episode: grown-up D.J. is shown curled into a ball, rocking back and forth and chanting, 'They ''says'' she's the same, but she isn't the same, they says she's the same, but she isn't the same...'
** Also, Becky[Sarah]: "I've always wanted to go to Disney World!" Followed by Roseanne: "Aren't you glad you're here this week?"
* [[Out of Focus]]: An in-universe example. While not an Unfavorite, DJ was often forgotten about by both his parents and the writers because he kept to himself while his sisters caused endless grief and drama. One episode had him totally silent for almost the entire thing, but then ended with him telling his horrified parents he'd gone three days without speaking and they hadn't even noticed.

* [[Playing Gertrude]]: The math on Bev and Nana Mary's ages is a little hazy, but Shelly Winters is only seven years older than Estelle Parsons.
