Movie Reviews of Roseanne: The Complete Ninth Season
Movie Review: Out with a bang!
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay, I won't give an episode list here, because it's been done by so many other reviewers. And I won't give too many spoilers in case someone hasn't seen the season in its entirety or at all.
Look, this season gets slammed by people for being so different from the others and some of the episodes being so "far fetched." In fact, I find this season funnier than the first. It seems that in every episode, Roseanne pokes fun at her own "ample frame," and her delivery is fantastic! She's half the time ... half naked! And it seems she can barely contain her own laughter, which makes it all the more hilarious! People didn't like Leon and Scott being in so many episodes, feeling that Roseanne was just trying to cash in on the "gay comedy" trend, but I found them so awesome and loved that they had extra time in this last season! Bev (Roseanne's mother), added some hilarity, as well. This season just seemed to wrap up everything that had happened in previous seasons. And everybody was involved! I loved that everyone had some plot that surrounded their character.
Don't get me wrong, there are some episodes that I completely skip because I don't care for them ... but that happens (for me, at least) with almost every DVD set you buy. This season was FUN! They knew it was to be the last season and they had fun with it. And let's face it, by Season 9, Roseanne really had no idea what it was like to be a "domestic goddess." She wasn't living that way, herself, anymore. You got to see what the other half live like, were it one of "us" who got lucky. Just like she did. I like that. Also, during the last episode, you find out the reasoning behind all the other episodes and it makes you better understand what was going on. If you gave up half way through the season, it's a shame ... because it does all tie together and is actually very moving and sweet at the end. The first time I watched the finale, I actually cried.
This family was just like mine, just as I'm sure it was for so many other people. I watched them get older and grow as I did. Watching the last season, I celebrated when they won the lottery, just as if it were a regular joe like me. Watching them struggle through the other eight seasons, it was so well deserved and I actually felt great FOR them. In the last episode, you can't help but get choked up - nine years later, the way things turned out. It's an emotional season.
The only real con about this season for me was the amount of episodes that John Goodman was in. For me, "Dan" was always a favorite, his physical comedy being the best part of the show. In this season, he's gone half the time, which is such a let down.
Overall, though, I love this show and Season 9 is a welcome addition to finish my collection. If you watch it all the way through, you'll appreciate it, as well.
