In this Lawrence Broch Season Eight Opener, Roseanne is still pregnant with her third daughter, but it's her older two girls who are acting like babies, although now 21 and 19.  Goranson returns and proves that she's Becky #1 in quality as well as chronology.  She and Gilbert pick up where they left off (Darlene even making fun of Becky's butt) and others react to their bickering.  Neither girl wants to throw a baby shower for their greedy mother, and meanwhile poor David throws a shower for the unappreciative men.  Note that Goodman has a full beard which no one remarks on, but there are lots of jokes about Becky being gone a long time.  (Sadly, the DVD doesn't include the Patty Duke Show parody, which you can find on Youtube, William Schallert cameo and all.)

John McConnell returns as Bob.  I'm omitting Adilah Barnes, Sandra Bernhard, and Natalie West from the overcrowded tags, but Anne-Marie and Nancy would return while Crystal would not.
