Line 16:
* [[Absurdly Bright Light]]: one Christmas, Roseanne and co. defy their POA with a light display designed for this. (They wear sunglasses to turn it on.) We don't see the display, but we do see that it does indeed create absurdly bright light.
* [[Abusive Parents]]: Mark and David's mother, especially to poor David. Roseanne's father was physically abusive to his daughters. Dan's mother was also (literally) insane, and his father was a traveling salesman who was rarely home. You'd have an easier time finding parents who ''aren't'' abusive on this show; even Roseanne herself has an episode where, in a fit of anger, she strikes DJ, and then panics over it because she very badly doesn't want to be the kind of parent her father was.
* [[Actor Allusion]]: When Michael O'Keefe (Fred) left the show, he went to another show on ABC called ''Life's Work,'' where he was the husband of an assistant district attorney with two children. In one episode of ''Roseanne,'' while complaining about Fred's Christmas present to Jackie, Roseanne says that they never see him "since he moved in with that D.A. chick with them two kids."
* [[A-Cup Angst]]: Jackie's small breasts are a source of embarrassment to her. Doesn't help that Roseanne teases her about them, and a woman at the health spa in season 9 says they're "much too small for her body".
* [[A Date with Rosie Palms]]: There was an entire episode dealing with the fact that DJ was going through puberty and had locked himself inside their bathroom to masturbate for hours on end. In another later episode, after his girlfriend leaves, he looks down at his dad's photo of Julie Newmar in his hand, then [[Aside Glance|gives the cameras a naughty look]] and rushes to his room.
