* DisownedAdaptation: Roseanne Barr was predictably pretty upset with the show. What rather fewer people saw coming was her going so far as to get ''her rabbi'' to make a statement condemning the show for being unnecessarily grim in killing her off.

Moved from YMMV

Added DiffLines:

* BillingDisplacement: Quite a few here. Creator/JohnGoodman (Dan) gets top billing with an ever-prestigious “Starring” credit, but it’s actually Creator/SaraGilbert (Darlene) who gets the most focus in terms of story and character development. Lecy Goranson (Becky) is a close second to Gilbert, but Creator/LaurieMetcalf (Jackie) is billed after Goodman. Most egregiously, Michael Fishman (DJ) who is pretty much a [[AdvertisedExtra glorified extra]] these days, was billed fifth, until he was dropped from the show completely.
