Does anyone know what the hell it meant?
Here's a brief synopsis...
'In the last 15 minutes Roseanne reflects about her fictional life as it is revealed to the audience through a voiceover monologue that the show itself has really been her writing. She says that while the book she was writing was based on her life, she changed what she didn't like. For instance, in reality, the Conners did not win the lottery, Dan died of the heart attack, Jackie was gay instead of Bev, and Mark and Darlene were a couple and Becky and David were a couple, instead of the other way around. In the final moments, after looking over her book, she goes upstairs and sits on the couch. The show fades to black and her trademark laugh is heard one last time."
So what does that mean for all the characters?
Did everything that happened between Mark and Becky actually Mark and Darlene and vice versa?
Did Jackie come out when their Mom did, thus meaning everything about her prior to that episode was cannon while everything after was fictional?
Was George Clooney a woman?!
I felt like Lex Luger reading that, "I DUNNO!"

The whole last season was a big mess. Don't try to read too much into it, or the last episode. I just try to pretend it never happened, and go back to watching the first 5 or 6 seasons that were really good.

Yeah, you know near death experiances. And do you know the materialist hypothesis, where they represent the effects of oxygen deprivation in the brain, or something to that effect? Well, this is what it looks like.

I remember Roseanne talking about this, the network wanted the whole lottery thing and she got to make the finale so she just did the whole thing as a screw you

I thought the last couple of seasons of Roseanne including the finale were a pretty big slap to the fans of the show. Add Roseanne's confusing postlouge about who's dead or who's gay or not and the whole thing seemed like a farce.

I really think Rosanne is one of those sitcoms that had the greatest fall from excellent episodes, to unwatchable garbage. And that's erally sad, because the cast worked so well together.

in desperate times finding Roseanne hot as hell one night for some reason. I'll admit. There are some episodes in the later seasons where she is looking pretty doable.

Sure Logical? A good ending? No Maybe that's why I didn't mind the last season or the finale. I took a two or three year break from watching the show, so I found all the lottery shenanigans refreshing.

I remember being half-asleep on the couch watching the last episode and I later thought it was a dream because it just seemed so silly.

So basically, John Goodman beat up a woman? In his defense, her toe was definitely over the line.

Ya know, as the series progressed...I pretty much figured Jackie was gay anyways because of how her relationships went. And when Fred came along, here was a nice guy who treated her right...and she STILL wanted no part of the man.

It would have made more sense if only everything after Dan's heart attack was fictionalized, but to cherry pick random events throughout the series?
The Newhart finale worked just because it threw out the entire series as an increasingly bizarre dream. But you can't say "this was real and that was fake but only after this point."

Having never seen the finale and very little of the lottery season I have to say finding out she was writing a book on how she would have preferred things to be is very morbid and depressing. I love it! Finding out John died, and she had to develop a type of neurotic escapism to deal with her life is very bittersweet. I just like it. Of course having not seen that season, I can't say if it was a well crafted idea or really just meant as an FU. But the concept of it is amazing in my opinion.
