In response to Kim’s question, no, that wasn’t Buck who portrayed Jerry Garcia Conner. During the end credits of the original episode featuring Jerry’s birth, there was a still photo of Roseanne holding Buck along with a birth announcement. That portion is usually cut out of the syndicated episodes, but it did start the rumor that that was little Buck portraying Jerry.

Did Roseanne’s real life son, Buck Thomas, play Jerry Garcia Connor as a baby?

my parents loved that show so much they would compare there real life to the show, even picking which characters us children best represented in this real life version.
i still try to wrap my mind around the last episode, but then after a while i just stopped, because it’s kind of annoying and really does cheapen the rest of the story. lol

They say she’s the same but she’s not the same. They say she’s the same but she’s not the same.

I agree. I remember watching this show and being very impressed with the fact that they adressed small town living from a realistic standpoint. Yes. Some of us did grow up in Nowhere, Illinois.

I loved all the halloween specials. It was the Conners’ favorite holiday, and mine too!

Melissa said it all for me — Roseanne was a great show at the start, but went downhill as Ms. Barr went “downhill”…

I saw her standup recently and regret that time I will never get back.

I loved the article. Those of us kids who grew up in Lanford, IL and not Beverly Hills 90210, we felt that we were normal. Roseanne was the same mom almost all of us had, and if not, we certainly knew someone who did. But as Roseanne’s fame grew, the show changed. It was still enjoyable, but just not the same.

Looking forward to part 2

Great article. I loved this show, and still do – it was such a great departure from the happy fantasy Full House type shows where everyone smiled and hugged and had no worries in their giant houses. Quit bothering with it after they won the lottery though :\ so now I’m wondering what this final episode was about. Sad about the “repressed memories” though…I feel sorry for her parents, and for Tom Arnold! Imagine telling someone your deep dark secret and having to watch them announce a pile of made-up similar problems they suddenly “remembered.”
