Dan Connor is, and probably will always be, one of my absolute favorite characters from TV

Good ole' Dan, the kind gentle giant. That character is the kind of dad alot of kids wish they had.

Dan showed me what it meant to be a good honest hard working man. He was an honorable standard to aspire towards when growing up.

Perfectly captures how Dan/John Goodman was the heart and soul of this show.

This scene tied into the other iconic scene where Dan beats Fisher for beating Jackie.

One of the most heartfelt and realistic scenes on the show. Expertly acted by John Goodman and Laurie Metcalf.

I love this scene. It’s so special. How Dan had to make sure before she left that Jackie knew how he had remembered her. How Jackie had to catch her breath for the way he made her feel. It’s great.

I don't think people understand how important this scene really is. It's not flirting, Dan is just taking advantage of his role in Jackies life (former crush and sisters husband who she sees frequently) to remind her that she deserves someone who is going to treat her like she's all that matters. Sometimes it's the little things that someone special, even if you don't realize how special they are to you, says to you that can make all the difference. I really loved this scene.

I always found Dan incredibly charming!

Dan’s detail in remembering the first time he saw her gave her brief reminder of her being someone who is important and worthy. Despite her physical beauty and great personality, she struggles with self-esteem, and through her difficult relationships, she lost her self. Dan’s words brought her back.

The ending of the scene was played out perfectly. How Dan describes Jackie was the most touching moment. I wanted to clinch my heart and just than Jackie did. Now that’s some amazing writing and amazing acting.

Deep down inside, one of the things we crave most in life is that we're remembered in one way or another because it makes us feel special, like we made a good lasting impression in your life.

I love this. Family relationships and family intimacy. Not budding romances.

It's about what Jackie thinks she worth and what Dan KNOWS she's worth, which is more than what she gets from the guys she dates. When Jackie said Dan was "the perfect guy" she said it in a way that she thought she'd never find/deserve someone like him and that no one would ever do something as simple and important as remember. Dan proved she deserves both.

I remember as a kid thinking they were going to kiss. But as an adult, the underlying message is pretty clear.

This scene feels comfortable. Real.

The relationship between Jackie and Dan is my favorite in the whole series. I love the way that they're always picking on eachother yet truly care for eachother. My favorite episode is Crime and Punishment when Dan is arrested after beating up Jackie's abuser. The conversation between them in the next episode I.believe is the most well written dialogue in the whole series. I love the way Jackie calls Dan a stupid jackass before hugging him. I also like how Dan never says WHY he beat up Fisher.

This scene left me with so many emotions the first time I watched it. Awkwardness. Shyness. Nervousness (that something would happen). Happiness. Sadness that Jackie has no one like Dan. Thankfulness that Dan showed her what a true man is. Idk. Just my view.

This was such a beautiful scene, when Dan tells her the first time he seen her - it shows Jackie she mattered and wasn’t a no body, it also shows how Dan respect both Jackie and his wife. Back when acting was amazing

Dan is one of my favorite characters in American sitcom. He's like a big brother to Jackie. He gives her a hard time but always protects her.

Love me some "Dan Conner." When he stopped her at the door with his remembrance, I thought, "Wow, you *do* remember!" And it made me teary, dammit!! :^D

Writing like this doesn't seem to exist today. If this was on today, they would sleep together while Roseanne was away.

Dan is a real man. Doing dishes and everything!

This scene always reminded me of a guy I once knew, this was something he would do and say..he was so much like Dan, even his mannerisms were the same..sadly, he passed away..RIP Alex❤

that is such a sweet moment. To be acknowledged and someone has a memory of you that is nothing more than a good memory and expecting/ wanting nothing in return. Just showing you respect and friendship.

Every time I see this clip I tear up. It's so emotional. I love her "Thank youuu," after Dan tells her exactly where he first saw her.

I've always loved Jackie's character.

One of the best scenes in the series.

Even though they were acting every time I hear him discribe what she was wearing it still gives me chills luv this show 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️🧡💛💚💙💕❣️💜🖤💞💗💗💖💘💛🧡

Incredible acting. Authentic delivery. I love the 80s/90s scenes built with humble conversations. Everything is sex and drugs anymore... These actors chemistry is unparalleled.

“So tell me more about PAUL...” That was the best get out of the situation pivot in TV history.

Dan's smile at 4:27 is so sweet and warm

This scene feels so real and caring. I don't think I appreciated Roseanne enough as a kid and been watching some KZfaq clips of it lately.

i cry every time , its such a beautiful scene. That Jackie was worth remembering :)

John Goodman and Laurie Metcalf are what made this show so damn good. This scene is a prime example of that fact.

This really is why this is one of the most, if not THE most amazing show ever written. Because of scenes like this, where it completely abandoned comedy for the sake of heart and delved into the complicated and hidden sides of a relationship that any other show would have ignored or deemed insignificant. And this is incomparable to the current writing of the revived show. You'll never see the thoughtful and insightful conversation like that which was written for this scene and the many many other scenes throughout its run. It's honest, real, lengthy, non-linear. The last scene in which he describes exactly what she wearing as the camera slowly pans into Jackie - devastatingly beautiful.

Always makes me tear up when he remembers

I don’t think the writers could have created a better scene for allowing Dan and Jackie to connect as adults and as family. The acting was so dead on. Metcalf’s eyes are so expressive. I always loved the fact that Roseanne never felt like a sitcom; it was like watching through the window of the neighbors three doors down.

My fav scene. I hated how they turned Jackie into a nutcase later in the series.

I first noticed Laurie Metcalf at the movies in "Uncle Buck", thought she was great then...she is truly a great character actress

Today they wouldn't let this scene develop like that. That was quite low paced, some breaks, some pauses....felt so natural, so not contrived....great writing, even better acting.....

I've always loved this part. It takes me back to my high school days of memories with friends and the things we did.

When asked about the best moment in television history, this scene is always my answer. Always.

One of the most powerful scenes of the show. Genius writing.

If all men were like Dan Conner, this planet would be a very different place...

After feeling like a Jackie for so long, I think I finally found my Dan. I love this scene so much and I love the guy I've waited to find for so long.

great scene, great acting. John Goodman said that was his favorite episope.

I always liked Jackie. She's so cute, here. Dan was really a good guy.

I saw all of them....every single episode. How is this show sooooo damn good, even better now than then.

The most touching scene in the whole series. 🤍

One of the best episodes of the show...and for a tv show ever ♥️

Wanna make a woman feel wonderful. Dan didn't cheat on Roseanne, but he showed Jackie what could have been by making her know right at the end. Wow!!! 🥰

One of the best parts of the whole show imo. Love Dan.

I was surprised when it wasn't on TV anymore I would always wait for it to come on this is my favorite show besides married with children

I think it made Jackie feel special that a nice guy like Dan actually could notice her in a crowd and remember it

The realist scene. Takes it all away to the hilt. When it was the greatest and it still lives in us. Thx to Roseanne! Luv it all. Give hugs and love all..and one another. ❤

Perfect scene...you can't find anything like this anymore ♥️

One of the best scenes of the entire series!!! The acting is incredibly believable and heartfelt.

Roseanne is Dan's best friend, and Jackie is his little sister.

One of my favourite tv scenes of any show

man this episode made me SO scared they were going to have an affair. Luckily it was just a sweet moment between them that reminded Jackie her worth

One word - Wow!!!

There were three scenes in this original series that stand out in my mind. This scene; the scene where Dan goes to beat up Fisher; and the scene where Roseanne talks to her Dad’s corpse at his funeral.

John Goodman's favorite episode.He loved that scene with Laurie Metcalf

Funny to think. Sitcom back then, Still more humanity than any 'reality TV' today. Anyone else feeling like we had something stolen snd we never saw It coming? Maybe just nostalgia. Nah. Plus Im a limey but good writing Is universal. Peace n Love to the non bots 😉

this part has always reminded me of my husband and my sister. Dan and jackie have always had a relationship that has reminded me of my husband and sister and how close they are. This part has always had such meaning to me bcuz of that. My husband and my sister always do the dishes at our house together and talk. They have always been close with each other. We all grew up together and although my husband has always loved me and crushed on me, i never liked him back then! So him and my sister always had a close friendship and hung out together all the time. They were always such good friends. When i finally got with him 13yrs ago i realized then exactly how close they were as friends and it always meant the world to me. i love to watch their friendship together and it just makes me feel so good to see how close they are. Dan and jackie always have had the same friendship that my husband and my sister have had. I love them both so dearly.

I think this scene might have gotten her that Emmy.

Dialogue like this is what made the series so great. Everything Dan said was right. I just wish that Jackie took what Dan said to heart more, and actually bettered her situation. Jackie did have a hard life, and a lot of trauma because of it. I only wish she saw what Dan was really telling her, which is that the power to change her life for the better was really in her own hands.

Dan is the perfect husband...besides Jack from This is Us lol

I was always a little bit in love with Dan...

It's sweet hearing their backstory

You will never see acting like that in a show again this show is legendary and part of my childhood

THE END MADE ME CRY 😭😭😭❤️❤️ I love this scene

So many great scenes. I loved Roseanne. Such a great show

John Goodman and Laurie Metcalf are so incredibly talented. The long pauses and looks in this scene make it so special. The writing in these early seasons was THE BEST.

I can see why Roseann Barr had a crush on John Goodman..he was such a good, charming, funny guy. When he tells Jackie he remembers her and sweeps her off her feet without crossing any lines was awesome..how many men could do that and not push it further or make it sexual? Not many. I remember once it was either t.v guide or people magazine who ran a pole...this was when Roseanne was on air..the pole asked for a vote "sexiest t.v dad/husband" and John Goodman got the most votes.

This is one of my favourite scenes

Friggin love john Goodman. Hopefully the new series lasts that long

Who's watching this amidst the 2020 pandemic

The beauty of the acting in this scene is that it sums up their relationship as in-laws in a way that's realistic and honest. It's exposition but it's such a natural, normal conversation that any of us could have with anyone we know.

That. That was a TV show we had when I was a kid, in Germany. Everyone loved it to bits, but we took it for granted. The acting. The dialog. In something we called sitcom back then. Damn, TV used to be good.

For me this scene exemplifies the word NUANCE, when if ever do you see real, human nuance in a sitcom??

I always tear up @ the end of this scene ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Now I’m going to sit down and set to work on my collection of every season of Roseanne. My favourite sitcom ever. ❤️

This is my very most favorite scene from the original Roseanne! It reminds me very specifically of my very dear friend timmy and a moment he told me I deserved better men then I'd let pick me! His entire head turned bright red it embarrassed him so much to tell anyone who's not his remarkable and also dear friend his wife nina.

"Yeah, I hated you but I thought you were cute!" Reminds me of visiting my friend in school with his cute younger sister who had a crush on me. I'm sure she's beautiful now, lol

One of my favorite scenes from the show. Dan was great.

It's a neat scene. A "What If?" moment. At various moments it's uncomfortable . . You know or at least suspect that the beer drinking is going to lead to something tragic. Roseanne saves the day and calls, Jackie leaves and Dan tells Roseanne he missed her. It's a scene, I believe, speaks for a lot of us. We're all human. I fell deep for a woman and she wasn't my wife. We never did anything but there were a couple of moments when things could've went the wrong way. I was, or we were "rescued" however . . Coincidences . . Unanswered "What If?" moments. Questions better left unanswered forever.

The way she said "I embarrassed you" in that very moment she looked exactly like her daughter from young Sheldon ❤️

He knew her since she was a kid, he loves her like she's his sister, it's not flirting he's being a big brother telling her she's worth more than what those guys treat her, she's his annoying like sister, of course he loves her...and for him to remember how they met meant alot to her.

This scene could not have been more perfect.Love Dan & Jackie.

I have a brother-in-law like Dan, I'm LUCKY

This was one of my favorite episodes of Roseanne !!!

This and All In The Family are the two best sitcoms ever made.

how sweet is this best show ever

My favorite sitcom of all time !

And then the 90s came, Roseanne won in the lottery and made guest appearances at Jerry Springer and does a Rambo-parody on a train. Sometimes it´s better to stop series before it gets too late. Take a series like "Fawlty Towers". There are only 12 episodes, but they are all good, and because they stopped early they don´t go away from the roots.

Perfect 90s dad would be a mix of Dan Connor Carl Winslow Tim Taylor And Al Bundy

Great scene!

Love this scene
