Roseanne: PMS, I Love YouABC
November 6, 1990
Sitcom
DVD
C+
Tom Arnold not only appears as Arnie in this episode, but he wrote the script. And I can imagine him and Barr thinking a story about her PMS would be full of comic possibilities, but the extreme mood swings are too over the top. Also, we have to suspend disbelief that not only Roseanne C's family and Crystal are intimidated by her, but 150 of the Conners' friends. There are funny moments here and there, but not enough. Note that this is set in November and Dan is turning 39, making him born in '51. And, yes, there's a certain irony these days to Roseanne telling the stripper, "You're the reason we'll never a woman president," when Barr would endorse Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton.
