Even if Roseanne Barr hadn’t posted that nuclear tweet, let’s be real: Roseanne wasn’t getting an Emmy nomination for Best Comedy.
That’s part of why Roseanne, with its dingy couch and unflinching looks at working-class struggles, felt like a revolution.
(Laurie Metcalf was the sole Roseanne nominee in the major categories for Best Supporting Actress; the show was also nominated for a Creative Arts Emmy for editing.)
In its original 1998 to 1996 run, Roseanne did win four Emmys — but those were all awarded for acting accolades, not writing or overall categories.
