"Roseanne's" 25th Anniversary-- Part 1


From the Oct. 18, 2013, Yahoo! TV "Happy 25th Anniversary 'Roseanne':

25 Things You Didn't Know About the Classic Sitcom" by Kimberly Potts.

The show made its debut on ABC on October 18, 1988, about a struggling working-class family and was a hit right off the bat, but never won an Emmy. People, and especially me, liked their Halloween shows. The article went into more detail and had photos and film clips, but I am just doing the ones of interest to me:

** Oscar and Emmy Award winner SHELLY WINTERS played Roseanne's grandmother, Na Na Mary in ten episodes.

** Series co-creator MATT WILLIAMS famously feuded with Roseanne.

** It was one of GEORGE CLOONEY's pre-"ER" roles as Booker, Roseanne's boss at Wellman Plastic.

More to Come. --DaCoot
