Wait till Your Father Gets Home (#5.16)

Warning: Spoilers
The Connors get a bad news that Roseanne's and Jackie's dad is dead. They prepare for the funeral and have to deal with his death. Each in their own way. Beverly also gets to meet the new woman of her ex husband.

The episode is about a pretty sad issue but still made with a lot of laughs. And like this show usually does also by adding some touching and thoughtful moments. Like the end when Roseanne is alone with the coffin and says her last words to her father. Very moving.

And yes some laughter is here as well. Mainly with Jackie. When she tries to tell the message over the telephone and when she chooses the casket.

Hilarious and Heart-Wrenching

Roseanne and Jackie's father dies. As always, nothing is simple and linear, there are layers and depths. Jackie is distraught over losing her dad, and Roseanne is torn. He was NOT a good father to them, and deserted their mother and family for another woman. There are achingly funny moments interspersed with sad moments. Hate is not always solid hate, love is not always solid love. Roseanne's little monologue at the end, standing in the funeral home alone with her father's coffin, always makes me tear up.
