The rebooted sitcom lands the Conner family in the middle of a fractured climate and shows the day-to-day difficulties faced by those who struggle to align their beliefs
In the opening titles of Roseanne, we see the Conner family sitting around a table together, laughing, squabbling, eating, and generally loving one another. Since it began in the late 1980s, Roseanne has presented a tough yet tenderhearted image of the white midwestern working class. The Conners may not have had money or power, but they were presented as complete people, rather than simply stereotypes. Not only that; they were also, despite their economic hurdles, pretty happy, even if they weren’t Hollywood perfect. At the end of the title sequence we always hear the same thing: Roseanne’s giant, loud, and completely joyful laugh.
