How did the sitcom Roseanne end?

Answer 1

It was all a dream. They didn't win the lottery. --Edit (from someone else): After Dan's heart attack at Darlene's wedding, he really died. After that, everything was apart of Roseanne's book that she was writing in the basement. (lottery, dan cheating on her, etc.) She was so heartbroken after Dan died, she would have rather said he cheated on her than died. The last episode is her writing all this in her book. It ends with her finishing her book, getting up, taking one last look at the basement, turning off the light and closing the door. It was a very emotional Roseanne.

Answer 2

In the final episode, Roseanne reveals that the entire series was a non-fictional story written by herself, as the earlier episodes indicated her as a writer. It is told that her sister Jackie is really a lesbian, even though she always saw her as a straight female with a man. It is also revealed that Becky's and Darlene's spouses were in reverse, with David marrying Becky and Mark marrying Darlene. Roseanne saw each man to be better for the other woman, and thus she wrote it into the story. She also changed the events of Dan's heart attack during Darlene's wedding - in the television series, Dan survives and ends up cheating on Roseanna with his mother's nurse. Roseanne reveals that in 'real life' (the story), Dan died at Darlene's wedding and she felt as if Dan had left her, thus the story about the affair.

Answer 3

The Roseanne Show ended on 2000-11-24.
