Roseanne Theme Song Lyrics
Title: "Rosanne"
By: "John Popper"
If what doesn't kill us is making us stronger,
Were gonna last longer,
Than the greatest wall in China,
Or that rabbit with the drum
If there's one thing that I learned,
While waiting for my turn,
Is that in each life some rain falls,
But you also get some sun,
And we'll make out better than ok,
Hear what I say?
Yeah, any day

In the late 1980s, Roseanne burst onto television with its groundbreaking first season, introducing a blue collar family struggling with their children, money, careers etc. while also delivering the maximum amount of humor to push the envelope on the phrase "sitcom." The most notable events of the first season include Darlene's first period, Roseanne quitting her job, and the fan favorite episode "Toto, We're Not in Kansas Anymore." The first season truly categorized what each character was all about, and combined with witty humor and comical situations, Roseanne became an instant classic. Roseanne would forever be remembered as the mid-western Goddess of domesticity, whose catchy humor and classic one-liners truly made the show. Her husband, Dan Conner, proved himself to be Roseanne's equal when it came to humor, and was the most realistic character of all. Their children, Becky, Darlene and D.J., differed in numerous ways. While Becky was busy growing up and chasing the opposite sex, Darlene would rather play basketball with Dan or go to softball practice, and in between it all was D.J., the cute little character that grew up to be "weird," peeking at his sisters undressing and stashing an army of beheaded barbies beneath his bed. Of course, there was always Roseanne's sister Jackie, who was known for her frequent visits and sticking her nose in where it didn't belong, which earned her the name "the sister who never leaves."
Over the years, Roseanne and Dan Conner faced many struggles with their jobs. Roseanne was an employee of Wellman Plastics at the show's inception, followed by a cashier at a local fast-food joint, then a magazine subscribers telemarketer, a shampoo girl at a hair salon, a clerk for the front desk at Dan's bike shop, a waitress at Rodbell's Department Store Luncheonette, and later, along with her sister Jackie, friend Nancy, and mother Beverly (who insisted she was a "silent partner") a proprietor of the "Lanford Lunch Box." Another frequent trademark of the series was Jackie's spinster-like values, remaining single for most of the show and sleeping with men on a number of occasions. Many transformations occurred in the early years, Roseanne began to develop more serious storylines such as unwanted pregnancies, abortion, domestic abuse, infidelity and child abuse while dashing some humour into situations which normally would have been impossible to laugh at.
Ratings began to drop when season seven ended, and producers wanted to leave the series at eight seasons, but was again renewed for one final season (season nine). The ninth and final season showed the most changes in the lives of the Conner household, as they win the lottery and live an ultra-extravagant lifestyle. However, increasingly low ratings and decreasing enthusiasm towards the show warranted cancellation.
