Happy Anniversary 'Roseanne'! Life Lessons from Our Favorite Working Class Mom

Hard to believe it's been 25 years since the ABC hit television show Roseanne debuted on October 18th, 1988 (don't you feel old?). The show centered on the Connors, a working-class family of five that loved tie-dye, flannel, and most importantly, each other. As a family, they coped with the hard stuff - teen sex, obesity, masturbation, poverty, alcoholism - with humor and tough love, and taught us a few things about life, in the process. -By Elise Sole
