I really like how the show doesn't always have to be just a comedy. It can have its tense and super difficult moments and we can see how the characters react in Conner fashion, with dark dry sarcasm. Its as if they ae saying "You can give me a super difficult situation which is impossible to truly be free from, especially not in 30 minutes, but I still get to be in control and make fun of it."
I think because if this, this show (Roseanne and The Conners) is one of the most inspirational programs I have lived with over the years. My friend came over to my house once and said to me, "I don't understand, you're old and your life has almost no real prospects to get better. Why aren't you more depressed?" And I said "I still have hope. I could totally still make it" And we both laughed at the notion. I think it was the past 30 years of this show that has given me that attitude that no matter what the situation, I'm in control, of at least my sense of humor.
Anyway, this espiode was a super difficult one for the fictitious family, and it continued to tell a great story. To be able to laugh at oneself about a dead family member, a life of terrible relationships, infertility, and illegal immigration, all in one episode. That's what the Conners is about, and it's needed.
Also, super weird and surreal that in a crowd scene everyone is wearing a mask. How will the show be watched in syndication in ten years? Do other shows do this, too? I don't watch other sitcoms so I don't know if it's a thing. Either way, what crazy times we're living in.
