@sexysixxable That's because Ann Wedgeworth isn't really a good actress, she's basically just a trampy type woman who only knows how to act sexual in a subliminal way
How did Dan's mother go from being a normal woman with her own travel agency to being a lunatic in later episodes "because her husband left her"? she seems to have gotten over it and moved on. I never really liked that they made his mother crazy...
@ShinyGlitterDoll I actually like that part, its more realistic in that his mother wasn't an unpleasant nut (like Rosanne's mother) shes actually a person living with a mental illness having ups and downs. Since she's nuts in most of the show, I like that we meet her when she's normal and savvy.
@krystlerita a little older? 5 years is a little old 20 years.. thats not right. Especially since it's dan's friend and ed had known her since she was a little girl.
@krystlerita It is damn well Dan's business. Crystal is his friend and Roseanne's look at what his dad did to Dan and his mother. He doesnt want that happening to Crystal and her son. To be honest id feel the same way if I was in Dan's shoes.
@timelessgirl10 actually---after she married tom arnold, he told her about being abused as a child, and roseanne said it brought back her own memories of being abused as a child, and decided to have that part of her real life experiences wrote into the show.
I always thought it interesting that Roseanne is so loving and funny with her Dad (in the two episodes he appeared) only to find out later that he was abusive to her and Jackie during their childhood.
I don't know if I could handle it if my ex boyfriend came to Thanksgiving dinner with my family. I think I'd shove the turkey knife up this ass sideways. >_>
Yeah Dan's mom became a psycho and Roseanne's dad became some kind of monstrous child abuser. Maybe this is just like Thanksgiving with my family, where all the insanities and hostilities get swept under the rug for one long uncomfortable meal...lol.
I think he just figured that Ed was having sort of a midlife crisis and was pursuing her but that it wasn't reciprocated. The next time he finds out, they were already together and planning on getting married so I could see how it would be a little shocking anyways.
did anyone else notice that roseanne is holding her fathers hand after dinner on the couch....i found it odd considering the father use to beat roseanne and jackie.
yea it reminds me of my husband and his brothers; they used to get beat up badly as kids by their father, and they always talked about how they hated him for it, but they told me that now that they're all grown up, they think it was for the best; and now they're all chummy with their dad.
For the best? That's horrible! Parents should not beat their children. My parents beat me to keep me in line and all it did was make me afraid of them and not spend more time with them and love them like I wish I could have, but I was too scared that I might make a mistake by accident and get beat. It would have been nice to know that they loved me, but that was kind of hard to tell as they were beating me through my tears.
my dad beat the living crap out of me up until i was 13 but now i am 24 and we have a pretty pk relationship. He has gotten older and we have talked about things. we arent the classic howdy there family but we talk about once a month over the phone and we are okay. I can understand this all too well
this is my favorite roseanne episode of all time, and this is the first time i have seen the uncut original verison of it. I can't believe how much of the episode they cut out for syndication, glad to see the full version of my favorite roseanne episode of all time.
@MrK623 theres a later thanksgiving episode where roseanne finds out he been seeing another woman behind her mothers back thats when she stops talking to him
Dan's mom almost acts as if she's going to make out with him on the porch, weird and akward.
