Roseanne: "An Officer and a Gentleman"
We're revisiting this early episode of Gimmicks from 2022 with new commentary! To start, David shares some personal lore related to this very Gimmicks episode, and Derek talks a little about the controversy of the ending of The Conners.
Then, we present the original episode where Kevin from May the Power Protect You Podcast joins for this prescient episode that puts Laurie Metcalf and John Goodman in the spotlight. Nearly 30 years before Roseanne Barr was notoriously removed from her own sitcom, an early episode posited that question: could the show Roseanne exist without its titular star?
