** Probably the reasons they stopped using Barbra Jean's initials. In the first season, any time someone called her [[DoubleEntendre BJ]], there would be a short pause so the untold joke of a woman named BJ having an affair with a married man could land. After the show took a slight turn for the more [[LighterAndSofter lighthearted and goofy]], she wasn't called BJ anymore.

Reba and Roseanne both overreact and are forced to eat crow and apologize, but the difference is that in ''Reba,'' the two mothers reconcile, whereas in ''Roseanne,'' she and Kathy Bowman always hate each other.

This horrifies his very conservative family, especially Barbra Jean. She brings the Bible to him, saying she found a passage that might help him.
