32 Years Ago, Roseanne Aired One Of The Sitcom’s Most Controversial Episodes Ever

While Roseanne had plenty of memorable episodes that focused on real-life issues, the sitcom that spawned The Conners outdid itself with one outing 32 years ago. Although the success of The Simpsons makes it by far the most famous family sitcom from the '90s, this sometimes means that the adult animated comedy overshadows its contemporaries. After all, it is undeniably impressive that The Simpsons is both the longest-running sitcom in American TV history and the longest-running animated comedy of all time, but no other show could compete with these records.
