Roseanne Conner is a blue-collar working mother trying to cope with a tumultuous household, composed of husband Dan and their three kids: Becky, Darlene and D.J. Roseanne often wonders how she's going to pay the bills at the end of the month with her salary as a waitress and income from Dan's fledgling motorcycle repair shop, but her sister, Jackie, and faithful friend, Crystal -- who recently married Dan's father, are always there to lend moral support.
