Roseanne Reviews S

This is a set of reviews of Roseanne episodes. My general thoughts about that show are here. I will focus only on the political aspects and will mention what percent of lines spoken by non-family members are spoken by people of color.

“Wait ’Til Your Father Gets Home” Episode 16, Season 5. Wikipedia summary is here.

There are about 25 lines by non-family members and all of them are spoken by white people.

“First Cousin, Twice Removed” Episode 17, Season 5. Wikipedia summary is here.

There are about 15 lines by non-family members and about 1/3 of them are by people of color.

“Lose a Job, Winnebago” Episode 18, Season 5. Wikipedia summary is here.

Out of about 50 lines by non-family members, none are by people of color.
