S7 E5: Reflections on Rosie

In our latest episode, we discuss The Conners season 7 episodes “Fame, Flying Fists and Cold Feet,” and “Applications, Accusations and a Man-Bag.” We’re halfway through the final season and we don’t know how to feel! The main thread in these episodes is that after much family bullying (and an unearthed, heartbreaking text from Roseanne herself), Dan decides moving forward with the lawsuit against the drug companies, with help from charming and hilarious guest star Jane Lynch. But the decision already begins to have consequences when past tensions between Becky and Dan rear their ugly head.

Meanwhile, Darlene meets another charming guest star – Sara Gilbert’s real-life pal Seth Green – at the Lobo while drowning her sorrows about Ben. These two have great chemistry, and we’re worried. Ben, stop treating Hardware Magazine like your own personal Megalopolis and go home and see your wife once in a while!!

Also, Jackie is still gunning (ha) for a position on the Lanford PD, and Neville is back – incredibly wise, quite buff, and working at the zoo. Mark, on the other hand, is the opposite: foolish, willowy, and performing illegal hacking services. He’s a brat and we’re damn sick of it! Where is all of this going? We’ll have to wait and see.

Stay tuned for this plus digressions on Ransom Canyon, the late-80s Justine Bateman film Satisfaction, Thora Birch, Chi-Chi’s and more. Listen and subscribe on Apple Podcasts!
