This is why I hated when the had him cheat in the later seasons. He was a flawed man but he loved his family and would do anything for them.

You certainly rarely see men like the now, they'd prob make a video he social media first telling everyone what they claim they will do

@@donkeyshow7235 Yeah, they did screw his character up a lot with that one.

@@flan_2003 sitcoms writers always do that the longer a series goes. If you watched Friends Joey strated out as a little dumb by the end he was a full blown fucking idiot.

Men like that are a dying breed. Appreciate men like that while they last.

Agree. Love the Rosanne character as well.

absolutely. the show doesn't work without the supporting cast and the onscreen chemistry among all of them: Fresh Prince, Family Matters, Roseanne, etc. I absolutely love each cast member because they add something different to the mix: - DJ and his childish goofiness, Darlene: the bratty obnoxious middle sister, Dan: the role model.....

It was the 2 of them together. It's ruined without her.

Totally agree with you!!!!

He is an incredible actor.

Hope he beat the crap out of him

1 of John Goodman’s BEST PERFORMANCES!!!!

I still cry everytime I run across this I’ve helped plenty of girls/women whom were abused by lowlife dudes in and all around L.G. In Brooklyn NY I’m famous for my PINK BAT I was the early DAN CONNORS💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

This is the type of masculinity that lacks in households today. Dan, Tim, Uncle Phil, legends of my youth.

Yes I loved it Dan don't play

Somebody's clock is gonna be rung

And as rule she sucked, but in that case you're right

She knew the severity of the situation when Roseanne told her just go upstairs. It was that "oh snap" moment that went all over Darlene's face that things were going to get ugly.

I'm so happy for you.

Good for you ❤

Good Bless you ❤❤

Good girl ❤

Good for you! My dad was a great guy when he was sober, but when he fell off the wagon now and then I hated his guts. He was a mean drunk. A completely different person from his sober self. From a kid who had his share of bruises I am glad you got out of that situation.

Definitely Dan was going to do what any man should do

Even the audience knew what was up

I want a husband like Dan

The look, then the coat grab.

His face said it all.

Speaking of numbness, at the beginning of this clip, didn’t Jackie look and sound winded when she arrived?

Seriously! Such a talent.

She always excused the people who treated her like crap. Her dad, this skinny little wuss and gary. Not much for a role model.

s Laurie is an incredible actor!!!!

I now realized that was Laurie Metcalf!!!!!!😮😮😮

@@DianaTrushkov I'm aware, thanks, but I'm also aware that domestic violence victims are often afraid to speak up or their partner has gaslighted them into believing they deserved it or they feel embarrassed about it.

That's what abusers do...the target people they think they can shrink down...who may have some image to uphold and they almost bank on the victim to defend them because they want to uphold the image that things like this don't happen to them. Sometimes the ones that always help and protect and defend need that help in return and I'm not just meaning cops. There's always the peacemaker scapegoat that takes the brunt of abusers in family or workplace situations and they don't even realize that is what they are doing.

The number of women that hold powerful positions yet are abused by men is staggering. We doubt ourselves and men around us in the workplace give us grief for the positions we hold so while we may not show it, we already are down on ourselves. It starts with verbal abuse then that one hit, the apology and the continued abuse and it's somehow all our fault just like Jackie said. It's a very common story. Unfortunately a lot of times it ends in death. Because he swears he'll stop. My sister and best friend lost their lives. I'm a lawyer who grew up watching this show and I volunteer helping victims of abuse. I help them take legal action for free if they wish. I always think of this episode and how it's the men like Dan that stick up for women.

@@lucyinthesky4682 I'm sorry for your loss, truly, and I command you for the work you do. But please don't generalize. Maybe in America men still give you grief for powerful positions, but not in the rest of the world, not in Ukraine where men are not that insecure, where gender doesn't matter if you do your job well. America lags behind the rest of democratic world in this regard. Noone has as much problems with women in power as your country does because it is the norm in the rest of the world, so PLEASE do not think what you see is ubiquitous.

@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 oh I know this. I'm not the ignorant American. I know America is the joke. I've been lucky enough to travel abroad since I was a child. I'm actually first generation Italian. My dad an immigrant came here as a child in the 30s and had me late in life as I was born in '78. I was raised the European way, as a concentration on education, discipline, attitudes toward culture, art and life. My siblings as well. We were the odd children as my parents encouraged conversations about the world and my dad watched the world news with us every night so we knew what really was happening. I'm a Civil Rights Lawyer and my life's work is here I stay but in recent years as America continues to sink further into the ooze I've often thought of an ex-pat life. My sister was an anesthesiologist and my best friend an emergency room trauma surgeon. Both highly trained, intelligent women. My point I guess is that many see victims of domestic violence as poor ignorant women with lots of kids and no financial means to escape. The problem with my sister and friend was they were women that had huge hearts and they helped everyone but often suffered from long buried self esteem issues that the men they were with used to break them down. I even went through my own disaster with domestic violence and I was beaten and bruised but I eventually got out. It took me a long time to realize it wasn't my fault. And I logically knew it wasn't but the mental abuse is brutal.

​@@lucyinthesky4682 I'm so sorry for your loss I know what its like my father is like Fisher he beat my mother for years sometimes in front of me and my siblings and we occasionally experienced his physical abuse. My mum thankfully left him but we all paid a high price for that too he did us all permanent damage but had my mum not left he would have killed her. I haven't seen him over 20 years he's a sad, bitter and lonely old man now because even his family had enough of him when he went too far and disowned him. He has never been charged for the abuse he has done to women after my mum and it pisses me off the police do nothing for domestic abuse victims thank god for decent lawyers like you helping them the world needs more people like you.

Dan may not have always liked Jackie but she's family and he knows there's no excuse for what Fisher has done so he went and gave him a taste if his own medicine. Men like Fisher are inherent cowards underneath thats why they pick on women because they know they can win easily but would never do it to a man because they know its a level playing field and don't wanna lose

He went to the nudie bar.

Roseanne herself was ahead of her time for helping to create such a funny but honest and impactful show. She doesn't get nearly enough credit for it. ❤

@@MateusGowen Also, Roseanne had to fight the network on _everything._ That is why the show has aged so well. She knew what the vision should be and stood her ground.

It was well acted too especially by John Goodman he barely spoke but didn't need to everyone knew by his actions and little movements like rubbing his cheek as he checks no one's looking before he grabs his coat and keeps walking. Those actions tell us what he is going to do without him saying it. Not all comedies can do that type of scene.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

It really was. Even the mannerisms and everything amongst the family. Soooo real

You knew he was going to take care of business.

agreed! May he live forever 🙂

Exactly what I thought. What a great actor he has always been. I love him

538 did an article one time where they used statistical analysis to prove that John Goodman is the greatest supporting actor in history.

WOW,how John did those last few seconds without any dialogue..now that was a WOW moment!

I like the way he walked in.

Annoying or not, most (not all, but most) men have an unspoken code. You hit a woman, be prepared to get your face smashed in.

Speaks so much volumes to me

At the end of the day, feelings are just feelings. They might not get along in the day-to-day, but Jackie is Roseanne's sister and at the end of the day, family is family. You have to protect your family, even if you don't necessarily adore them. It's a great message they put out there, I think.

Dan lovedddd Jackie as a matter of fact I feel like he over loved Jackie at some point because if they were trifling the episode when Jackie was taking care of the house while Roseanne was gone could have gone further than it did

Dan and Jackie loved each other! they had great chemistry too

There's a episode we're Jackie has to basically become Roseanne for a while because she's away and they develop a closer bond because of it they learned to respect each other which is why u see they stopped crackin on each other and got on Rosanne

Yeah I didn't really get along with one of my sister's but I defended her a few times when she was with a few nobodies. Yeah I'll admit some of those times she was asking for it from how she is but nobody and I mean NOBODY touches my sister and gets away with it.

That's what made this show more realistic than most. Families argue and get angry with each other all the time. But when someone from the outside hurts a member of the family, they immediately rally around one another. They don't even have to think about it.

@@hutch1197Damned right!! I remember years ago back when I was a dumb clubbing teen, I saw a fight break out between two guys. At the time I thought it was just a dumb drunk brawl. Apparently one of the guys had just deeply upset the other guy’s sister. Well, fists were certainly flung, I can tell you lol

Thanks for recap, but we all saw it.

Had me tearing up too. Laurie Metcalf (Jackie) did an excellent job telling Roseanne what happened.

Its too damn bad that when a man hits a woman, he doesnt get his ass kicked anymore. He gets to have therapy for his feelings of anger. Unless she is trying to stab you or your kids, you never hit a woman. This show aged better than its original run in the 90s.

I hate to say it but you're correct.. We haven't raised a generation of men who know how to protect and serve There's this concept that men being men is toxic I never quite understood that even as a kid

​@@meggrotte4760I think what you're referring to is "toxic masculinity" which basically hinders any man from showing any emotion other than anger and having to use aggression as a means of proving he's tough. While Dan has many great qualities as a husband and father, we can't discount the fact that there isn't a strict one way to be a hardworking man.

Wouldn't really say we forgot these lessons but more like society has now adopted some weird mindset that discourages people like Dan from taking matters into their own hands. The laws have now changed to protect people like Fisher.

Criminals kept getting lawyers and crying and well the law seems more interested in protecting them

💯

exactly! his silently grabbing his coat says more words than any verbal line ever could.

Rosie was basically telling him to go deal with it. Dan was already going Such a moment!!!

Oh yeah wow I missed that first time I watched this. Good eye.

Agreed, she gives dan the green light

Yeah she had a giant for a husband and knew he could kick the crap outta people 😂

​@@poopsyko 😂

Everyone's acting was on point in this scene. And I think Roseanne is a highly underrated actress.

I agree! Season 5 is my favorite of the series. It had so many good episodes and all of the cast was amazing.

@@MateusGowen I remember being pissed about Becky being gone, but their new neighbors, the Tildens, were a great addition that season. I wish they had stayed longer. Ty made a good friend for Dan. Molly was a good adversary for Darlene. And I loved Roseanne bonding with Charlotte.

@@musicaltheatergeek79 You literally took the words right out of my mouth and typed it. I 100% agree. I wish they had been more permanent in the show. I felt like Roseanne bonding with Charlotte was perfect because you can tell Charlotte’s character in the show was a young girl who didn’t have a mother growing up and was socially awkward, so Roseanne bonding with her could have gave Charlotte the development she needed and that would have been interesting to see down the line in the later episodes. Like imagine later down the line Darlene and Becky don’t care about Roseanne bonding with Charlotte at first but then later they develop jealousy because Charlotte becomes everything Roseanne would want in a daughter. Charlotte is great at school, chores, responsibilities, cooking and doesn’t have attitude or talk back. It could’ve brought in some good drama in the seasons where Roseanne eventually looks at Charlotte as a daughter. They could have Molly and Darlene hash out their differences and eventually become close friends. Maybe Ty could have been a permanent best friend for Dan after Chuck. Anyhow that’s just an idea of mine but nonetheless just having the Tildens on the show more would have been great.

And when Roseanne told her upstairs she immediately went.

I'm a guy. Domestic abuse or boyfriend/girlfriends abuse goes both ways and can be mental too. I'm an ex boxer, pretty good one back then. Those don't do any good when you're too in love to NOT BE STUPID and let a girl (in my case) drive you close to suicide and I just overlooked everything she did and said and even TURNED HER INTO A MARTYR trying to protect me by hurting me..INSANE!! Would never hit her or even verbally be cruel so the only SMART option would have been to walk away way earlier. I know it's different, but if a guy beats a girl who has stayed for beating after beating and she finally presses charges, chances are he'll do time. If I had overdosed...which I came close to...she wouldn't have done a day. It would have been MY decision to overdose but it is also women's/men's decisions to stay with someone who puts them in danger over and over. Physical danger. Mental danger isn't recognized as how bad it really is yet. Funny, being strong and a hard hitter and tough was ALL WORTHLESS then. I wasn't tough with her. I was idiotically, desperately in love. Took 2 years to get over. She wasn't worth 5 minutes. I am sorry you were abused. As for mental violence, there is no one to report it to

@@markmike7933 thank you and yes it does go both ways. Nobody should lay hands to anyone or mental abuse anyone. I wasn't just mentally abused I was physically as well this includes s*xually abused as well. I was stabbed in the shoulder with a fork sticking out of my shoulder I been kicked beaten and mentally put down. It's not something easy to get over

DAN, HAD EVERY RIGHT!!!

its fear mostly

I’m a victim from 1992-1995 my kids mother broke several bones some twice I had numerous black eyes busted lips and on going mental abuse Why didn’t I fight back 2 reasons I was brought up to never ever hit women and I was blinded by the fact that she was bipolar and schizophrenic which it took 3 yrs and 2 kids later to find out but their was no place for a guy being abused in society but to this day I haven’t heard about DV protection for men

I LOVED that little subtle look that she gave him. She knew that Dan was going to want to beat the shit out of Fisher for that, and that look she gave him was her telling him that she was completely okay with it. A married couple having such an important conversation without actually saying a word. What an amazing episode!

My dad who recently passed away was the black Dan Conner 🤣😆🤣!

@@williamhodge2506 sorry for your loss

Oh they do every woman have an older or younger brother, plus older and younger cousins waiting to get the guy who hurts the women in their family

two of my favorite TV dads have always been Dan Conner and Phil Banks aka ¨Uncle Phil¨.

I think she died

to the nudie bar to forget his annoying wife

When I saw this when it aired I got a chill. I knew Dan was going to kick some ass

is that because of the excuses she uses for his behavior?

@@ronniestar8762 that, and to show that even police officers are potential victims.

Just one of the ways Roseanne herself addressed many realistic topics in everyday life that are still relevant. In my opinion, she doesn't get enough credit for how important her show was.

@@MateusGowen As I've watched this scene (which, tragically, reminds me of my own family) over and over something else I noticed is how Jackie says nothing is wrong, tries to downplay the situation and how she defends Fisher and wants to keep his abuse a secret, a secret that will allow the abuse to continue. Jackie must have felt shame and also been aware that exposure of Fisher as an abuser might have made things even worse for her. Along with all of this Jackie and Roseanne had a physically abusive father as the sisters were growing up. I wonder how often it is that someone abused as a child is abused again as an adult by another adult who is a spouse or partner. It's amazing how in only a few minutes we get such an accurate portrayal of domestic violence and its discovery. Whoever wrote this did a brilliant job and the acting is superb.

@@andrewbrendan1579 it was written by Bruce Rasmussen.

@@MateusGowen Thank you for that information. Mr. Rasmussen's work deserves acknowledgement and recognition.

Was just thinking the same thing

"Just this once."

I'm sorry you had to go through that. I hope you are doing much better these days.

and when someone shows you who they are, believe them.

​@@ED80spreach

Its good but, when the Evans family got that telegram from down South on Good Times...still even more heartbreaking, in my opinion.

grabbing his coat without a word spoke more than any verbal line ever could have.

If she hit him first or wouldn't shut up its ok

Same here. I remember once as a kid my dad pulling over the family truck and yanking my brother out of the backseat to spank his bare ass in view of all of the highway because he kept punching me (a girl) 😂😂 My stepmom was almost as mad as my brother at the time but he turned into a really protective dad who I cant see ever laying hands on a woman so I think it was worth it.

@@remidanae1689 In hindsight, I think my father may have had an abusive father and that deeply scarred him. I say this because before I could even walk, he absolutely drilled it into my head that as soon as a man so much as lifts his hand towards me, I was to leave immediately. No questions asked, no passing go, just leave. At the time I didn’t really understand what he was trying to teach me or his fears for me. But from the little snippets he shared about his mother, I highly suspect his father would beat her and he would nurse her afterwards, since he adored her. I never really got a clear answer from him as whenever I asked he just completely shut down. But with hindsight and based on his behaviour in general, I have to conclude that he witnessed domestic abuse in his life and thankfully, rather than falling into such a pattern of behaviour, he instead became a very protective father in response.

​@@killaseason82 nah, you're a coward! 😢

Was? Still is. Lol.

Dude he was in The Big Lebowski phenomenal movie. Check out Raising Arizona he was hilarious in that movie

Laurie Metcalf is the greatest actress of all time if you ask me. She has literally nailed every role that she has been given. So versatile.

I agree, and she was the perfect fit for Jackie. This is one of my favorite performances of hers in the entire series.

She was Amazing in Scream 2,best killer reveal to this day.

@@MateusGowen I had the opportunity to see her onstage in Stephen King's Misery opposite Bruce Willis seven years ago. She was phenomenal portraying Annie and received accolades for her performance.Miss Metcalf is a treasure, and her acting in these clips is so true to life .Thank you for your posting of these scenes.

@@pab0904 The fuck You talking about, mrs.loomis Killed Mickey,shot in the head, period.you're either Trolling or bored..get a Life.

​@@homemadehuman actually why don't you take a hike I know what I saw I seen it before plenty of times, I'm not stupid she didn't kill him right then and there I'm not bored I already have a life you just want to make comments to make cause debates so I don't want to hear it. I tried to be respectful but you're not worth it why don't you take a hike and get a life?!

More ass kickers to me but awesome dads

When Kelly told Al to beat up dude in the movie theater "yes pumpkin" then goes and whales on dude. Lol

I would never call Al Bundy a great father. Dan Connor was a much better character.

Also beat up six more guys and took out a payphone...

You're very welcome!

I'm sure they made a deal for Dan

That's an amazing story, and I'm glad she survived. I saw Roseanne reruns when I was younger and watched the reboot in 2018 and have seen every episode of The Conners so far. In late 2019, I started watching Roseanne from the beginning and have now seen every episode. I still watch it every night it airs on Cozi TV. It's a great show and was ahead of its time in general and on many subjects. Roseanne herself doesn't get enough credit for what she did. Darlene is my favorite character because I relate to her a lot.

Exactly! I definitely never want to be in that situation but god forbid, Dan needs to grab that jacket and kick ass. Btw….”Lanford Daze” is the Loretta Lynn episode 5x15. Excellent choice ☺️
