Yeah, it's disappointing to see what she became. Roseanne was a pretty progressive show for it's time and addressed a lot of issues most sitcoms of the era steered clear of. Despite their rough edges the Conner family were a fairly positive but accurate representation of struggling working class American families too. Which was not something shown on TV very often.

Roseanne Barr has become... The opposite of who she was during my childhood and it's a shame. But I'm glad to see The Conners has continued to explore the kind of stories the original was celebrated for.
