It's No Place Like Home for the Holidays

A snowstorm on Xmas Eve has Roseanne and Jackie stranded at the Lunch Box with Bev and Nana Mary; Nancy and Marla stuck at the Conner house with Dan and DJ; and Darlene trapped at David's place.

Of the four Xmas episodes of ROSEANNE, this one is probably the funniest and the best. Shelley Winters and Estelle Parsons help make it as good as it is and Winters steals every scene she's in. There are a lot of small funny moments for everyone. Dan's awkwardness when Nancy and Marla show each other affection; Roseanne and Jackie decorating Nana Mary, etc.

Most people will remember this one for the scene where we meet David's abusive mother, played by Sally Kirkland -- a hot mess if we ever saw one.

The show was at its creative peak when this originally aired. 8/10.

🏆 The BEST Christmas Episode of the ROSEANNE series. A truly outstanding guest cast adds weight to this story about the family separated at Christmas time because of the terrible weather. Shelley Winters and Estelle Parsons as Roseanne's mom and grandma are hilarious. Scenes in the snowbound diner are very real and played for both laughs and drama. Guest actress Sally Kellerman is superb as villian style prostitute mom of David. While over at the house ultra conservative Dan is there with lesbian couple talking about wanting to conceive their own baby (While a scene with basting the Christmas turkey 🦃 is a wildly funny moment) ALL IN ALL... TELEVISION CHRISTMAS SERIES DON'T GET BETTER THAN THIS 🎄
