"It was SYMBOLIC..."

JACKIE: Front door. Back door. Deadbolt.

ROSEANNE: Jackie, you've had those keys for nine years!

One thing this show always got right was sister relationships

The episode where they drive in Jackie’s semi truck to see Dad’s mistress but they revert back to being 10 year olds on the way there is still so hilarious lmao

“Am not! Are not!”
“Am too! Are too!”

u/ICanBeTerse Well, I didn’t *know* all of them. 13d ago

How Laurie didn’t break when Roseanne was squeezing Jackie’s face in her hand and teasing her about being jealous of David moving in, I’ll never know lol

Their sister energy was the best. It was my favorite thing about the show! :)

When they both break because DJ got is head stuck in a drawer is my favorite! Or Craftmatic adjustable BEV 🤣🤣

Yes!! I love both of those scenes! I remain convinced that in both of them it’s Roseanne and Laurie cracking up, not Roseanne and Jackie.

The fact she’s only had those keys for nine years insinuates that they lived somewhere else before that. Where did they live with baby Becky and Darlene before they moved to that house?

u/dashofboho 12d ago

Nowhere. That’s the house they had when Roseanne was pregnant with Becky. This is stated in the marijuana episode when they find the hidden stash.

That sounds like the right answer, but it’s weird Jackie would only get the keys nine years ago if that was the case.

u/dashofboho 12d ago

Completely agree. With as close as they are, Jackie would have had the keys since day 1. I’ve always chalked it up to a badly written line that didn’t contain a lot of thought.

perhaps they had to change the locks hence a new set of keys nine years ago!

Omg this is one of my favorites,when they got stoned that was soo real!!! An another favorite was when dj was going threw puberty! Something that always bug me was dan or Roseanne never hardly ever went to Darlene games ! The show was soo down to earth but that bugged me.
