B-
This episode, with a story by Perry Dance, who'd do one more, and Timothy Schlattmann, who's known for Dexter rather than sitcoms, and a teleplay by Leif Sandaas (his first of four Roseanne stories) and Cynthia Hogle (absolutely no other IMDB credits), feels a little forced. While it's interesting to see comparisons and contrasts between the various couples, and the One Life to Live homage isn't bad (I assume, I haven't watched OLtL in almost 40 years), it doesn't all hang together that well. It's surprising, considering that Mancuso is back as director. But oh well. And, yes, note the irony that Darlene at this point emphatically doesn't want kids.
This is the 1300th ABC show I've reviewed, with many more to come.
