#24: Roseanne Barr Now

Roseanne Barr’s later years have been as complicated as her character. After her show’s successful 2018 revival, she was abruptly fired following a social media controversy. While The Conners continued without her, Roseanne herself has remained a polarizing, outspoken figure both onstage and online.

Despite the turbulence, her place in sitcom history is undeniable. She shattered expectations of what a TV mom could look and sound like — and made space for realness on prime time. Love her or not, Roseanne Barr changed television, and the ripple effects are still being felt.
