For many years, Roseanne tackled taboo subjects or joked about issues that most other popular shows at the time avoided, such as poverty, alcoholism, drug abuse, sex, menstruation, birth control, teenage pregnancy, masturbation, obesity, abortion, race, social class, domestic violence, and gay rights. The show was also significant for its portrayal of feminist ideals including a female-dominated household, a female lead whose likability did not rely on her appearance, relationships between female characters that were cooperative rather than competitive, and females openly expressing themselves without negative consequences.

Some of the many reasons that Roseanne was an amazing show. (via lobsterhug)

And people question why I love Roseanne — it’s hilarious while addressing a variety of incredibly important issues that were on the rise in the early 90s.

I wasn’t allowed to watch Roseanne as a kid but she’s pretty fuckin awesome.
