what happened to penelope spheeris?

I rememeber seeing this at the theatre,then suburbia and i thought she was great.
Next thing i know,she's making episodes of Roseanne,and I read a review of "The little rascals " that pretty much summed her later career up...

"Penelope Spheeris once made a film called The Decline of Western Civilization....now she's contributing to it."
