    Roseanne Action Star?

    Answer is no. Season 9 stinks so far and this show is the anchor of stink.

    Simply horrible, only for intellectually impaired

    Year is 2019. I am so glad 1996 and this episode is long time gone. Worst of the worst. From story to acting. Show for peasants.

    True Train Wreck

    This had to be one of the worst , if not the worst episode of any TV show episode , in the history of sitcom episodes. Disguting. This was basically a train trip spoof and Roseanne is a parody of Rambo. The jokes were stupid and stale. It was not funny. It was unrealistic and just plain bad. Incidentally , this was a later episode , and it seems the cast did not mesh at all. Must have been running empty on ideas. Luckily John Goodman jumped off the train before this train wreck. Guest appearance by one of the worst actors of all time, Steven Seagall did not help this. In fact , if anything it made this episode even worse if thats possible. Probably tried to get the real Rambo, Sly. Guess they did not have the budget or even Sly decided this was beneath him.

    Utter garbage

    Well, it's come to this. The worst episode in the worst season. Things started to dive in Season 8, but they reached new lows in series 9. And this episode in particular is awful. Poorly acted, poorly directed and not funny.

    To be fair, this whole season stinks. No idea what the writers were thinking or why Roseanne thought it was the right direction for the show, Half the character are missing for most of the season and I think I know why. I would run from this crap too. Even Jacki isn't funny.

    I won't ever need to watch this season again as it's too ridiculous. I can only imagine what the tenth season will bring, but it has to be better than this.

    A self-ode to Roseanne?

    This sitcom is basically older than I, but it caught my interest as a very sincere depiction of working class in the 80s and 90s. I decided to watch it despite the whole Roseanne controversy. So far it was enjoyable but it lost what made it special around season 8. Since then it's been getting worse and worse and this episode was just plain garbage. I imagine Roseanne got more and more power regarding executive decisions on the show and this is how it ended. I recommend skipping the episode if you want to get to the end of this season, because it might be extremely hard not to jump the ship after watching Roseanne as ridiculous vigilante.
