The title here is ironic, since the Conners do not hit it off with their new neighbors.*  Well, D.J. decides that Todd Bowman is his new best friend, but Todd's mother Kathy (Meagen Fay the first of four times in the role) takes an immediate dislike to Roseanne.  (Troy Davidson plays Todd and then is never seen again.  I can't remember if they recast Todd, but so much for being best friends.)  The script by Joel Madison feels slightly off, but I remember some funnier moments with and about Kathy later.  Danton Stone makes his first of four appearances as Kathy's husband Jerry but has less to do.


*And, yes, John Goodman would play Fred Flintstone on the big screen three years later.
