"This iconic family – Dan, Jackie, Darlene, Becky and D.J. – grapples with parenthood, dating, an unexpected pregnancy, financial pressures, aging, and in-laws in working-class America.

Through it all, the fights, the coupon cutting, the hand-me-downs, the breakdowns – with love, humor and perseverance, the family prevails.”

While Roseanne Barr has continued to talk about the incident that she claims has "cost [her] everything," saying that she walked away from the show even though her contract had a provision to allow her time to correct mistakes.

"I walked away from the show despite the fact that I had a contract that protected me from getting in trouble," Barr said. "I was allowed under my contract to have 24 hours to correct any mistakes... But anyway, I walked away. I didn’t want to cause anyone to lose their jobs."
