This Laurie Gelman story is uneven but has some interesting elements.  Roseanne encourages Dan to enter a song-writing contest on the radio, which he does, using one of her own poems.  They come in fourth but we hear the song a couple times and so we know that both Dan and Roseanne have talent.  Meanwhile, Becky and Darlene bicker, D.J. remains adorable, Booker and Jackie engage in behavior that isn't clearly flirtation or mutual harassment, and we find out some of Crystal's tragicomic background.

Roseanne's coworkers Juanita (Evelina Fernández), Sylvia (Anne Faulkner), and Vonda (Charlayne Woodard) return and are given a little more personality.  Ron Perkins is credited on IMDB for two previous appearances as Pete Wilkins, but this is the first time I noticed him.
