Roseanne

Roseanne Essay # 1 \'Roseanne\' is the story of a lower class family in Lanford, IL struggling with life\'s essential problems: Marriage, Children, Money and Parent\'s in Law. As a classic sitcom, the story circles around the Connor family - DJ, Darlene, Becky, Roseanne and Dan. Dan does dry-wall for a living but eventually owns his own motorcycle shop while Roseanne is a waitress at a diner in the mall and later on works at a hair salon. Roseanne is accompanied in her quest to keep the family together by her sister Jackie and various friends over the years. This essay will focus on the struggle with money that the Connor family encountered in almost every episode. ‘Roseanne’ takes on a whole new look about how families should be portrayed on television. Families were finally represented as they were. Most families aren’t the perfect ‘Leave it to Beaver’ family, and not even close to the not-so-ordinary ‘Brady Bunch’ family. All of those families have one thing in common, they never worried about money. They were mainly middle to upper-class families.
