Is it me or is Becky way more goofy in this than she was in Roseanne?


In Roseanne the original series she acted pretty normal, almost like the straight man, she had her comedic moments but she was mostly very realistic and normal. But in The Conners i dunno the way she talks and almost every scene shes in its like shes in goofy comedic mode. She just comes off very over the top and silly like 50% of the time.

I agree, it feels like she's trying too hard to be funny but come off looking ridiculous.

It’s kind of like how Jackie was a serious character the first bunch of seasons. Then when she cut her hair shorter and started dating Fred and had the baby, she just acted insane half the time. Totally cuckoo off the wall

At least people are watching the show.
I actually liked the old Roseanne show with it's Midwestern struggling take on life, but RBarr went off the rails and left a bunch of talented actors in the lurch.
I like Metcalf and Gilbert, so I want The Conners to get traction.
