text: *The reason for the change from Kevin to David is because the actor of David/Kevin, was also going to be in a show along side Roseanne and in that show his character was to be named Kevin, so to make sure there weren't confusion or cross-over hopes, the Directors of Roseanne renamed the Character from Kevin to David. However when the other show (the one with "Kevin") didn't take off, they didn't switch back because the name "David" was used to such great lengths that they decided not to switch back because it would confuse the audience even further, beyond going from Kevin to David.98.163.120.145 (talk) 05:11, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Theme song? 

message: "Fisher (played by Matt Roth) Fisher dated Jackie. Dan beat him up after it was found out that he abused Jackie while they were dating. Matt Roth was once in a long-term relationship with Laurie Metcalf (Jackie Harris)." -- is this a real life dating relationship, or a dating relationship in the show? I assume because the actor's real names are used, it was a real-life dating relationship. However, this should be made clearer.
Its also implied (although nowhere explicitly stated) that Roseanne, as a good mother, attempted to install morals in her children. There are several occassions, however, when Roseanne attempts to do the wrong thing, and is caught by the children and continues to do the wrong thing. One such example is when she was working at the diner, the factory accidentally sent two extra stoves, one of which was sold for profit. DJ asked Roseanne about this, and Roseanne ended up not selling the last extra stove as planned and returned it to the factory, giving the impression that this was the right thing to do. She also cut Leon in the ill-conceived gainings, upon DJ's complaining (she was not planning on doing this to begin with). This is just one of a few examples. Perhaps the "Roseanne" character paragraph should be reworded to reflect these changes?  --Jpawloski 18:37, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Matt Roth and Laurie Metcalf were dating in real life(or had just started to) around the time of the 2-part episode you're mentioning.  This relationship is how Laurie (and Jackie) got pregnant later on in the show's run.  As for the second issue, Roseanne, like most people, walks a fine line between doing the "right" thing and the "convenient" thing.  Not only, though, do parents have kids watching their actions, but, in this episode, D.J. was actually passing judgement against his mother. --Ericdn (talk) 03:43, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Two Issues 

message: In the episode "An Officer and a Gentleman" in season two, Roseanne goes to visit her parents who live in Moline, Illinois.  I think this would be a good addition to the extended family section, but I'm not quite sure where to add it, considering each parent has its own bulleted paragraph.  Should it be mentioned that they lived in Moline for each?
I also find it interesting that they started a loose-meat sandwich restaurant.  There is a popular chain of Maid-Rite restaurants in and around Moline that may have influenced this.  For some reason I remember hearing that they got the idea from visiting her parents in Moline, but I can't verify it.  Maybe someone else can?
--Bdmathias (3-2-2006)
:Actually, I'm pretty sure Jackie came up with the idea for the restaurant. I believe she said she stopped at the restaurant while on one of her truck routes, and even mentions a specific place name (state or city), although I can't recall it at the moment.

message: "Becky with David and Darlene with Mark"
So was this saying that some of the major occurances like in season three, of Becky dating Mark were entirely not an actual part of the story as revised from the end episode? or did Becky actually date Mark all that time and Darlene David, but when they separated they 'switched' and actually married the opposite brother? This would explain more why Roseanne would switch it around in fantasy. 67.5.157.183 05:28, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually she wrote about Becky dating Mark and Darlene dating David. Which is how we saw it during the series. What we saw during the series (from about the beginning of the 3rd season on) was parts of her book. In reality, David was with Becky and Mark with Darlene. The way I understood it was that the entire last season was completely fictional while only some of the events that we saw on the show from the 3rd to 8th season were fictional like which guys her daughters went out with.

message: Little attempt seems to have been made to appraise the marked decline in quality in the later series.  I think there would be general agreement that Roseanne was at its best up to, say, Series 6.  Some of the episodes in the later series are frankly embarrassing.  Purely at random, for example, there was the ghastly Jerry Garcia episode, any number of the chaotic Halloween episodes, and that appallingly politically-correct Thanksgiving episode  where DJ's Red Indian teacher rewrites history.  I accept that, being English, I probably miss some of the nuances of American culture, but that particular episode's one-dimensional portrayal of Indians as noble savages and Whites as violent landgrabbers just made me want to puke.  About as subtle as a brick, and miles away from the sensitivity of some of the earlier episodes.  I'd be interested to know if any American contributors to Wikipedia had similar reactions.
I have made a start by panning Series 9 in the intro paragraph, but we really need a thoughtful paragraph somewhere in this article charting Roseanne's decline and the reasons for it.  Personally, I think the star got too big for her boots, but others may disagree.

message: The opening lead states that Roseanne's comment was "Islamophobic" of some sort, but the allegation is unsourced.
The tweet was awful, but I think we need better sources for such a strong accusation. It would arguably fall under racism anyway. GrHaQt (talk) 22:11, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

text: If you are reading what we're saying, multiple people have already stated that Wikipedia shouldn't label it as Islamophobic in the opening paragraphs. Are you disputing anything in the *current version?* DapperAond (talk) 18:06, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: "Islamophobic"

message: obvious bias in the article. "Soros was wanting to "[overthrow the] U.S. constitutional republic" by backing district attorney candidates that would "ignore US law & favor 'feelings' instead-and call everyone who is alarmed by that 'racist'", and falsely accusing Soros of being a Nazi during his youth"  its true though if you actually research the guy... he really did help nazis as a kid, is a socialist known for influencing elections, and really does not like republics. Also, it is not needed, so removed. 68.3.197.108 (talk) 13:45, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

replies: text:  There are also problems with your statement, @DapperAond, which is that Soros was 9 years old when the war started in 1939, but by 1945 was more than old enough -- not to be a Nazi or in the SS (the latter of which I have never heard) -- but certainly a profiteer and/or factotum. I am not sure why he has garnered this reputation, perhaps because of his anti-Israeli stances and his attempts at regime change in Israel (and elsewhere), and his general nature and his actions.

replies: text:  This article is becoming an OR/SYNTHESIS magnet (see ). Note that Barr's Twitter comments (OK, rants), including those described above on this thread, come from information which is out there, which you come across on Facebook, Twitter, news media. This information comes from sources that many would immediately disregard as biased or unreliable (or worse) but are read and followed by many millions of people around the world, including the U.S. and this should be made clear in this article.

message: "However, she would later retweet posts defending her, as well as another concerning the conspiracy theory of Soros being a Nazi collaborator."
This last sentence is kinda leaning away from NPOV, no? You don't need to make a point of implying Roseanne's apology was insincere, and her retweet of a conspiracy theory involving Soros is completely irrelevant to the rest of the article. Valjeanlafitte (talk) 11:07, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
