We Blame Roseanne
Diana KrachThis isn’t a recap show. It’s a cultural exploration, a dissection of learned behaviors and toxic patterns, and an examination of the intersection of historical events and entertainment. Because even though she may think she’s been erased from history, the fact is that her art and her public persona have influenced societal, familial, and political movements.

I’m sorry these hosts had terrible childhoods, but we are not their therapists. I was looking forward to an intelligent conversation about Roseanne’s impact on our culture. Instead, it is a judgmental indictment on parents who don’t conform to their limited idea of the ideal parent. They also fail to take into account the myriad different situations parents find themselves in and the need for parents to nurture their own wellness and identities to be healthy good parents to their kids.

United States22 days ago - 5 stars but not a good fit for those wanting to maintain nostalgia
I’m really enjoying *We Blame Roseanne*. What makes it compelling is that it’s not simply a podcast about Roseanne or the television show itself. Instead, it uses the show as a lens to explore much bigger and often difficult topics, including forms of childhood trauma that were common for many Gen Xers and older millennials, while also acknowledging that these experiences continue to affect people across generations.
The hosts do a thoughtful job of examining how media can reflect, normalize, a... more

I like the hosts and enjoy the way the show makes me reflect on my childhood and how much times have changed since then.
Apple Podcasts5JegkomUnited States3 months ago - Growth requires discomfort.
This podcast made me realize how much a sitcom can do to normalize problematic trends and behaviors. Yes you laughed but were you also giving yourself permission to behave badly? By not being as bad as the Connors, were you normalized your family dynamics even if it was unhealthy? Just listen. The hosts make it clear they too loved some of the work these entertainers did but you can love something and be critical of it too. Thank you.
