Darlene

In high school, and then a little of college, my sisters, mother and I watched Roseanne faithfully. As it moved into reruns and syndication, I would watch it from time to time, but now that I've grown up (sort of) I find myself stopping the remote whenever it is on. It really was ahead of its time and I guess I sort of had a crush on the Darlene character. We were both in college about the same time, and I loved her somewhat non-conforming character. Of course, in real life, Darlene would go IVY and that was not my reality at all. I leave this opening of one episode as a reminder of the happy days they once brought.
