Norm MacDonald's second Roseanne script has the Conners and Jackie join the Tildens on a cross-country journey to LA, yes, in a Winnebago. (Wings Hauser makes his last appearance in the role of Ty, although Mara Hobel and Danielle Harris would return as his daughters.)  As you know, I'm not any crazier about the Tildens than their predecessors the Bowmans, but Darlene does have a good line comparing the sisters to her aunt and mother.  Ironically, Tom Arnold's last appearance on his then-wife's show is as Jackie Thomas.  (Roseanne would file for divorce in April of '94.)  There have been some other Jackie Thomas Show references, mostly in the tags, but this is the one I remember best, where the adults go to see JTS and Jackie sings "Seasons in the Sun."  Note the irony of the families going to Disneyland offscreen, when a much bigger deal would be made out of the Conners' Disney World trip.  Also, Dan here voices a wish for another child, but that won't happen just yet.

Blake Clark, who was 2nd MP on the M*A*S*H finale, Blake Cumbers on the "Nam" episode of It's Garry Shandling's Show, and Hoyt on Who's the Boss, here is Vic.  Ted Christino would again play a Tourist on the Disney World episodes.  Future Roseanne writer Stevie Ray Fromstein here plays Bill.
