It's really hard to overstate how different Rosanne was when it first aired. They had money problems, they'd yell at their kids sometimes, they weren't perfect. They were a "normal" family on TV that people could relate to.
Not only did they have money problems, but they absolutely affected the family. There wasn't the "money isn't really important" message at the end of the episodes so many shows go with. Money's extremely important - especially when you don't have it.
Being working-class was hard, and it had an impact in every aspect of their lives.
This, if money isn't important, it simply means you've never been broke.
Or you're young, dumb and in love.
It's also really hard to explain that Roseanne used to be what appeared to be a sane and reasonable person with good ideas.
