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.

- Loved it until the transphobia mansplaining.
The was a lot of good in the podcast but episode 7 spend more time with an uninformed, ignorant cohost trying to defend Norm McDonald telling a transphobic joke. It was painful to listen to as this cohost went on to say that we don’t know what Norm meant because that is the genius behind his comedy and that Norm’s intentions are pure. No. He was transphobic and so is the defense. The cohost could also barely get through a sentence and it went on for a painful amount of time.

The hosts seem to just vilify Boomers and early Gen X for all the bad parenting they experienced or saw growing up, and that generalizes too much. There is less about the show “Roseanne” than there is complaining about their childhoods/parents. Maybe it gets better, but I can’t even finish the first episode.
Apple Podcasts2LeoFlashUnited Statesa month ago - Could work but it’s not
Listen I like the idea but I think instead of presenting the question of did Roseanne do this bla bla and what issues that brings up in society it just kinda places the show as overrated, they need to see it more from a unbiased perspective. Also, some of these ideas are a reach
I do find it funny though that they have a comedian on a podcast. The host just openly says that Norm McDonald is problematic and not funny. Then when she asks the comedian thinking about his opinion she obviously think... more
Apple Podcasts3Marbear43United States2 months ago - Wow
The most recent episode is fantastic as an official example of mansplaining bad humor. Keep up the good work despite finding a guest exemplifying the information illiteracy of
our nation …I didn’t realize being a human is optional in comedy and laughs are ok if it’s from a ‘legend’.
Apple Podcasts5M-BotUnited States2 months ago - Mama Mafia
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.
