Roseanne: Season 08
Running Time: 30 min.
Release By: ABC

Season eight of Roseanne is the last regular season, leading into the crazy departure of season nine. A lot of soap opera situations occur, with the birth of Roseanne's baby, the engagement of Leon and Scott, Darlene's pregnancy announcement, Darlene and David's wedding, and then Dan's heart attack. As usual, the Conners divert to several side jobs and business propositions, leading to an unexpected check and subsequent trip to Disney World. One of the highlights of season eight is the black-and-white "Fifties Show" episode and legend Tony Curtis appearing as the ballroom dance instructor in "Ballroom Blitz." The season ends with Dan's heart attack at Darlene's wedding reception that leads to a big domestic dispute with Roseanne. According to the entire series finale episode "Into That Good Night" aired on May 20, 1997, Dan was supposed to die during the heart attack. Apparently, the character of Roseanne was fantasizing the wildly unbelievable pattern of events that comprise season nine. Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide
