Listen now
Description
Entertainment writer Hiko Mitsuzuka joins the Very Special Television gang to discuss a classic episode of Roseanne. They watched season 5, episode 13 titled "Crime and Punishment." The recession of the early 90s hit Lanford pretty hard as we see Dan (John Goodman) and his down-on-their-luck buddies playing a game of extremely low-stakes poker. Among the downtrodden is Fisher (Matt Roth) - the December in Jackies (Laurie Metcalf) current May/December romance. We catch a glimpse of Fishers temper but the guys downplay it since they've all been out of work for a while. When Jackie pays the Connors a visit Darlene (Sarah Gilbert) notices suspicious bruises. Roseanne (Roseanne Barr) puts two and two together and attempts to comfort Jackie while Dan slips away unnoticed to slide into Fishers DMs. Thanks for listening! www.facebook.com/VERYSPECIALTELEVISION/ www.instagram.com/veryspecialtelevision/ facebook: @veryspecialtelevision instagram: @veryspecialtelevision twitter: @BestMenMedia
