“Who Jackie?” has been retold in comedy circles for nearly 30 years — much to the surprise of the Roseanne writer who said it.

On one hand, this casting is stupid. It doesn’t even look like there is more than a seven year’s age difference between these two.
On the other, Jane Curtin doesn’t get enough work.

Even before all this, I always really disliked her and found it kind of amazing someone as dreadful as her was so beloved for so long despite never bothering to mask it very hard. I loved the show, though. It's weird.
She was always the weak link to me and I loved the show. I'd groan through her jokes or one liners, and then laugh at John Goodman or Laurie Metcalf while they carry the show. Even Sara Gilbert's delivery was much funnier to me than Rosie's.

Sara Gilbert growing coincided with Roseanne getting that awful facelift, too. Once Darlene was able to develop she, Dan, and Jackie did the important parts. Like all my favorite moments involve one of those three in some form. Roseanne herself never really made me laugh, and I don't think I found her all that funny at all when you could tell she got creative control and suddenly was an abuse survivor and shit.
I've been wanting to do a series rewatch someday, but Roseanne really makes it tough. I agree that post facelift, she became the worst. She wasn't too bad the first 3 or so seasons, and there were times were she seemed relatable. Although, some of her one liners and delivery felt flat even as a kid.

Roseanne is in my top 10 if not top 5 favorite sitcoms. I don't recall her being a burden on the show until it fell off a cliff in Season 9.
She's the blue collar, white trash heart of the show, even if Dan and Jackie do a lot of the heavy lifting.

They retconned the last few seasons in the Conners anyway.

It ended when Dan had the heart attack. The facelift is the beginning of the end. But at that point the rest of the cast was firing on all cylinders.
I'm a fan of the show but it was much more of an ensemble than anything else.

I remember a late period episode where Jackie gets addicted to the internet being very obnoxious. Felt like a completely different character from a few seasons earlier.
