Do you remember all the shows you watched when you were younger? I know I for sure don’t, partly because 7-year-old me had the attention span of a fly and also because she didn’t have 60 pages of reading and an essay to write. Of all the shows I watched, the most memorable to me was "Roseanne". "Roseanne" was a sitcom that aired from 1988 to 1997 and revolved around matriarch, Roseanne, and her family of 4. The show hilariously tackled tough topics such as financial hardship, sex, death, marriage, and plenty more. Among its many wins, the most notable was for a Golden Globe in 1993.
Thanks to Amazon Prime I’ve been reintroduced to the series and fallen in love with it all over again. I’m currently on season 7 of 9, and I’ve concluded that Roseanne was an unapologetic bad ass. She ruled her home with an iron fist, never allowing anyone to order her around. Young me was introduced to feminism at a young age, and for that, I am forever grateful.
The reboot of "Roseanne" is scheduled to air 2018 and the best way to describe my excitement is with a GIF of Roseanne and her husband Dan doing a jig:
