Roseanne’s show was really good when it started out, showing a believable working class family, without the glamorizing or typecasting that many other shows do. It was funny and entertaining, and dealt with stuff real families deal with.

I think Roseanne’s comedy suffered what a lot of successful artist suffer - loss of connection to the life that gave them their material. The farther she got from that lifestyle, the less she had to say as an artist, and now she’s just a rich famous person with a penchant for assholery and nobody telling her she’s not funny - at least, nobody she’ll listen to.
