Join me over on Patreon as I break down a very special two-part episode of Roseanne that's considered among the series’ most essential. I’m talking about Season 5, Episode 13 “Crime and Punishment” and Episode 14 “War and Peace” (aka “Jackie is a Victim of Domestic Violence”.)

Beyond the obvious importance and legacy of these episodes, I dive into the Conner's collective fighting spirit, common core math, the need for tough love, how and when to support your friend in their "love bubble", how it's always a rotten time to be a freelance artist, whether or not you were a "Becky" or "Darlene", and why every single family needs a Dan Conner.
