In the third episode of “Roseanne,” on ABC, Roseanne Conner and her husband, Dan, wake up on their iconic sofa, in Lanford, Illinois. “It’s eleven o’clock,” Roseanne says. “We slept from ‘Wheel’ to ‘Kimmel.’ ” Dan replies, “We missed all the shows about black and Asian families.” Roseanne squawks, “They’re just like us!” Then, sardonically, “There, now you’re all caught up.”
Yes, we have a thread about this show on the TV side of the forum, but I think the political/social themes are important for discussion in the current climate.
