Roseanne is an American sitcom broadcast on ABC from 1988 to 1997 starring Roseanne Barr.

The show centered around the Conners, an American working class family struggling to get by on a limited household income in the fictional town of Lanford, Illinois. 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 homosexuality.
