Roseanne

Whoa, this show went on for so long! What happened to Roseanne Barr? I can’t believe Leonard from The Big Bang Theory, Johnny Galecki, got his start on this show.

Roseanne’s theme song is one of those original songs that doesn’t have a name, so people just call it “Show-name Theme.” It was written by W.G. “Snuffy” Walden, whose work we have heard before in the themes for My So-Called Life and Hawthorne. I think, though, that the theme song was also written by Dan Foliart and Howard Pearl.

We all know that the “Roseanne Theme” is mostly instrumental, with the main melody played by a saxophone by itself. In the ninth and last seasons, though, the theme turned into a full-fledged song with words. The basic melody was still there, though.

The blues band Blues Traveler played the theme song, with lyrics and their signature distorted harmonica. John Popper, who is the lead singer of the band Blues Traveler, sang the song.

Lyrics

 (Roseanne Season 9 Theme Song)

If what doesn’t kill us is making us stronger,

We’re gonna last longer

Than that greatest wall in China

Or that rabbit with the drum

If there’s one thing that I’ve learned

While waiting for my turn,

It’s that in each life, some rain falls

But you also get some sun

And we’ll make out better than okay

Hear what I say

Hey, any day.

With Roseanne coming back, it’s time to go to 714 Delaware Street and relive her Top 10 Best Moments! We’ve put in things like when Becky farted at the assembly, when we found out Nancy slept with Arnie, when the salesman died in the kitchen, when David brought pot home, Darlene’s poem, and more!

In a new, exclusive interview with VICE News Tonight on HBO, Roseanne Barr, who created the show “Roseanne,” talks about her life since ABC fired her for making racist tweets about Valerie Jarrett, who used to work for President Obama.

After Roseanne was fired from the award-winning sitcom based on her life in 1988, she let VICE News Tonight on HBO into her home to see how she’s been spending her time: organizing photos, sleeping, smoking, and more.

After the premiere of Roseanne, most members of the show’s cast became huge stars, and, understandably, people wanted to know everything they could about the actors behind the entire extended Conner family. But there were some stories that the stars didn’t like the public to know…
