@Nenethegreat W Get a fricken life, you delusional tw*t. 1. The language is English... & 2. Wtf are you talking about? How mentally unhinged are some people?? Smh.
this was the 80's Roseanne, the 90's Roseanne turned into trash, because the FCC lowered their standards after networks claimed they were losing viewers to cable (more true now than 28 years ago)
I don't think people understand how important this scene really is. It's not flirting, Dan is just taking advantage of his role in Jackies life (former crush and sisters husband who she sees frequently) to remind her that she deserves someone who is going to treat her like she's all that matters. Sometimes it's the little things that someone special, even if you don't realize how special they are to you, says to you that can make all the difference. I really loved this scene.
Tiffani Farrington well ABC big shot network is a bunch of losers. Seriously the wonderful shows that made the network money and they think they have the upper hand all the time. If people would wise up and boycott ABC network until they learn some humility?! They sure as hell taught Rosanne some, it’s too bad they don’t have any!
I love this scene. It’s so special. How Dan had to make sure before she left that Jackie knew how he had remembered her. How Jackie had to catch her breath for the way he made her feel. It’s great.
Except is a horrible scene. The show's executives used this story line to play around with permanently writing Roseanne off of the show and pairing up Dan with Jackie. Scary.
Deep down inside, one of the things we crave most in life is that we're remembered in one way or another because it makes us feel special, like we made a good lasting impression in your life.
@@maryschetrompf4197 I think that was the point. After all the chaos in the first season of Roseanne, as well as the fact she was trying to get Tom Arnold more involved in the show, this episode was a warning from the producers that the show could go on without her.
Dan’s detail in remembering the first time he saw her gave her brief reminder of her being someone who is important and worthy. Despite her physical beauty and great personality, she struggles with self-esteem, and through her difficult relationships, she lost her self. Dan’s words brought her back.
The ending of the scene was played out perfectly. How Dan describes Jackie was the most touching moment. I wanted to clinch my heart and just than Jackie did. Now that’s some amazing writing and amazing acting.
It's about what Jackie thinks she worth and what Dan KNOWS she's worth, which is more than what she gets from the guys she dates. When Jackie said Dan was "the perfect guy" she said it in a way that she thought she'd never find/deserve someone like him and that no one would ever do something as simple and important as remember. Dan proved she deserves both.
Yes exactly! That means tons when you think that you where never noticed. I had that happen once and yes I has always thought no one care back in school yrs or that they even noticed me.
BartJ583 - None of the shows on your list even compare with one another. They all had different dynamics. Your "neurotic" reference holds no water in your very disjointed argument. You just wanted to make a cheap, broad generalization about American tastes. This is a nation of over 300 million people with tastes that run across an entire spectrum. How silly.
The relationship between Jackie and Dan is my favorite in the whole series. I love the way that they're always picking on eachother yet truly care for eachother. My favorite episode is Crime and Punishment when Dan is arrested after beating up Jackie's abuser. The conversation between them in the next episode I.believe is the most well written dialogue in the whole series. I love the way Jackie calls Dan a stupid jackass before hugging him. I also like how Dan never says WHY he beat up Fisher.
He's talking about why Dan never told the cops why he beat up Fisher. Dan thought beating up Fisher was enough punishment, he spared Fisher the legal trouble as well as Jackie going through that long court process.
This scene left me with so many emotions the first time I watched it. Awkwardness. Shyness. Nervousness (that something would happen). Happiness. Sadness that Jackie has no one like Dan. Thankfulness that Dan showed her what a true man is. Idk. Just my view.
Love me some "Dan Conner." When he stopped her at the door with his remembrance, I thought, "Wow, you *do* remember!" And it made me teary, dammit!! :^D
This scene always reminded me of a guy I once knew, this was something he would do and say..he was so much like Dan, even his mannerisms were the same..sadly, he passed away..RIP Alex❤
I know a few guys like Dan too. I'm sorry about your friend Alex. :( This is what women look for in men. Not materialism or arrogance, but real and caring person that looks out for women and all people.
@@tooldaniellateralus9298 That whole season was something Roseanne made up for her book and then when the reboot happened, the last season never happened at all lol
that is such a sweet moment. To be acknowledged and someone has a memory of you that is nothing more than a good memory and expecting/ wanting nothing in return. Just showing you respect and friendship.
Incredible acting. Authentic delivery. I love the 80s/90s scenes built with humble conversations. Everything is sex and drugs anymore... These actors chemistry is unparalleled.
I don’t think the writers could have created a better scene for allowing Dan and Jackie to connect as adults and as family. The acting was so dead on. Metcalf’s eyes are so expressive. I always loved the fact that Roseanne never felt like a sitcom; it was like watching through the window of the neighbors three doors down.
Today they wouldn't let this scene develop like that. That was quite low paced, some breaks, some pauses....felt so natural, so not contrived....great writing, even better acting.....
This really is why this is one of the most, if not THE most amazing show ever written. Because of scenes like this, where it completely abandoned comedy for the sake of heart and delved into the complicated and hidden sides of a relationship that any other show would have ignored or deemed insignificant. And this is incomparable to the current writing of the revived show. You'll never see the thoughtful and insightful conversation like that which was written for this scene and the many many other scenes throughout its run. It's honest, real, lengthy, non-linear. The last scene in which he describes exactly what she wearing as the camera slowly pans into Jackie - devastatingly beautiful.
Ok but she also has psychological issues. Thinking being treated like dirt is enough for her and she gets abused by a boyfriend twice. Jackie gets put through the ringer a lot but she survived.
Wanna make a woman feel wonderful. Dan didn't cheat on Roseanne, but he showed Jackie what could have been by making her know right at the end. Wow!!! 🥰
The realist scene. Takes it all away to the hilt. When it was the greatest and it still lives in us. Thx to Roseanne! Luv it all. Give hugs and love all..and one another. ❤
No! Dan Conner doesn’t have affairs. That was the whole point of Roseanne coming back and saying at the end of Season Nine that she made the whole thing up about Dan cheating with his mom’s nurse because she was trying to deal with the fact that his heart attack actually killed him. It never once occurred to me that these two ever would’ve had an affair because they both adore Roseanne and wouldn’t hurt her for anything. We see them spend most of their time picking at each other that we forget that they probably wouldn’t be able to do that without also sharing a deeply-seated mutual respect. Both characters are so complex, and this scene shows both being vulnerable in ways we don’t often see with each other. It’s funny how neither of them seem surprised by the other in this scene. They both reach across to the other very sweetly and very naturally.
There were three scenes in this original series that stand out in my mind. This scene; the scene where Dan goes to beat up Fisher; and the scene where Roseanne talks to her Dad’s corpse at his funeral.
Funny to think. Sitcom back then, Still more humanity than any 'reality TV' today. Anyone else feeling like we had something stolen snd we never saw It coming? Maybe just nostalgia. Nah. Plus Im a limey but good writing Is universal. Peace n Love to the non bots 😉
I can see why Roseann Barr had a crush on John Goodman..he was such a good, charming, funny guy. When he tells Jackie he remembers her and sweeps her off her feet without crossing any lines was awesome..how many men could do that and not push it further or make it sexual? Not many. I remember once it was either t.v guide or people magazine who ran a pole...this was when Roseanne was on air..the pole asked for a vote "sexiest t.v dad/husband" and John Goodman got the most votes.
Dialogue like this is what made the series so great. Everything Dan said was right. I just wish that Jackie took what Dan said to heart more, and actually bettered her situation. Jackie did have a hard life, and a lot of trauma because of it. I only wish she saw what Dan was really telling her, which is that the power to change her life for the better was really in her own hands.
He knew her since she was a kid, he loves her like she's his sister, it's not flirting he's being a big brother telling her she's worth more than what those guys treat her, she's his annoying like sister, of course he loves her...and for him to remember how they met meant alot to her.
this part has always reminded me of my husband and my sister. Dan and jackie have always had a relationship that has reminded me of my husband and sister and how close they are. This part has always had such meaning to me bcuz of that. My husband and my sister always do the dishes at our house together and talk. They have always been close with each other. We all grew up together and although my husband has always loved me and crushed on me, i never liked him back then! So him and my sister always had a close friendship and hung out together all the time. They were always such good friends. When i finally got with him 13yrs ago i realized then exactly how close they were as friends and it always meant the world to me. i love to watch their friendship together and it just makes me feel so good to see how close they are. Dan and jackie always have had the same friendship that my husband and my sister have had. I love them both so dearly.
John Goodman and Laurie Metcalf are so incredibly talented. The long pauses and looks in this scene make it so special. The writing in these early seasons was THE BEST.
I was thinking how much they look alike! Zoe's features are softer than her mom's so she really favors Laurie when she was young, especially around the eyes.
This is the definition of blue collar. The perfect working class family. They will never get this again it's too perfect. I hate that they tried with the Conners and then they tried to do roseanne without roseanne. You can't split these people up. Miss this show so much.
The beauty of the acting in this scene is that it sums up their relationship as in-laws in a way that's realistic and honest. It's exposition but it's such a natural, normal conversation that any of us could have with anyone we know.
That. That was a TV show we had when I was a kid, in Germany. Everyone loved it to bits, but we took it for granted. The acting. The dialog. In something we called sitcom back then. Damn, TV used to be good.
This scene is a good example of this show's greatness. So real, and so well acted. I don't watch today's TV much but I doubt there's anything close. Am I wrong?
This is my very most favorite scene from the original Roseanne! It reminds me very specifically of my very dear friend timmy and a moment he told me I deserved better men then I'd let pick me! His entire head turned bright red it embarrassed him so much to tell anyone who's not his remarkable and also dear friend his wife nina.
This scene is so heartwarming, it could have been used to create some cheap drama but it was brilliantly used to signify the turning point in Jackie and Dan's antagonistic relationship. The way he remembers every detail and the slow zoom in of the camera get me every time ❤️
It’s scenes like this that made this show way more than just some comedy. It had heart. It had layers. This scene always makes me smile and tear up a little. The relationship between these 2 characters was so real, so touching. It reminds me of the episode where Dan beats up Fisher for hurting Jackie. Dan knew. Dan always knew. Incredible writing and acting.
Dan Connor was the perfectly written balance of testosterone to all the estrogen swirling around him. Every honest woman needs a Dan Connor in her life.
And then the 90s came, Roseanne won in the lottery and made guest appearances at Jerry Springer and does a Rambo-parody on a train. Sometimes it´s better to stop series before it gets too late. Take a series like "Fawlty Towers". There are only 12 episodes, but they are all good, and because they stopped early they don´t go away from the roots.
I fell in love with my boyfriend in 7th grade. We dated a bit in HS and after. Our lives went in different directions and we got together 30 years after HS. He told me he never knew I loved him all that time in school
This is the episode where the writers/producers thought about writing out Roseanne from the show completely and have Dan and Jackie get together. But Goodman and Metcalfe shut that down and said they wouldn't do the show without Roseanne.
