Past Imperfect - S6-E20

Fred: How many men did you date before we met?
Jackie: Well, you mean dated at all or dated seriously?
Fred: I mean seriously.

Dear Mom and Dad - S1-E22

Roseanne: If my parents move to Lanford, I'm gonna be sleeping on a cot for the rest of my life because I'm gonna be in prison for blowing them away.
Dan: Honey, Honey, be realistic. You don't know how to use a gun. I'll do it.

Halloween IV - S5-E7

Plot hole: Just before Roseanne arrives at the Lodge Halloween party, Fischer is holding a small object in his hand that he slightly adjusts to a certain position. Roseanne then unexpectedly arrives dressed as Lady Liberty. When she raises her torch and asks someone for a light, Fischer immediately flicks on the cigarette lighter that he was already conveniently holding and ready to ignite for no apparent reason.

Like a Virgin - S3-E3

Plot hole: Before her date, Becky asks Roseanne to help style her hair. After the family teases her, Becky says she'll just do it herself. Shortly after, she comes downstairs with a perfectly executed and complicated French-braid hairstyle that would be all but impossible to have done by herself and in such a short amount of time.

Friends and Relatives - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: When Roseanne is talking on the phone to Jackie, she continually moves around the kitchen while preparing dinner. The extra-long phone cord goes from being completely wrapped around her waist to just being behind her, then wrapped around her again, without moving in a way that would unwind it.

Like, a New Job - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: Darlene and Becky's second-story bedroom window is on the side of the house and at the house's backside (D.J.'s room is at the front and the windows are also on the side). However, when the girls argue and throw each other's items out the window, everything falls into the front yard, as viewed from the living room. Even if they threw stuff from the house's front, the roof extends too far out below two smaller upper windows. Everything would land on the roof.

Stand on Your Man - S5-E9

Other mistake: After the crazy guy threatened Roseanne when she was working alone at the Lunch Box, Dan wanted to teach her and Jackie how to use a gun for protection. Dan seems to have forgotten that Jackie was a cop for the Lanford Police Force and already is trained in firearms use. He regularly saw her in uniform with a sidearm.

Trivia: Shelly Winters, who played Bev's mother, Nana Mary, was only seven years older than Estelle Parsons, who played Bev (Roseanne's mother).

Halloween - The Final Chapter - S8-E5

Continuity mistake: Roseanne becomes pregnant at the beginning of Season 7, and it is before the Halloween and Thanksgiving episodes, so she is in her first trimester during the holidays. However, Roseanne does not give birth until the following year in the Season 8 Halloween episode. Her pregnancy has lasted for well over a year.

The Dark Ages - S5-E3

Revealing mistake: When Dan calls Becky, there is a shot of her and Mark in their Minneapolis apartment. This is the exact same set that is used later for Darlene's Chicago apartment when she goes to college. The fireplace shape and style, the wallpaper, position of the bathroom door, and the windows are exactly the same. The only difference is that the Darlene version looks shabbier.

The Wedding - S8-E23

Character mistake: When Roseanne, Darlene, Jackie, Bev, Becky, and Nana Mary are dressing for Darlene's wedding, Nana Mary comments that all of them were pregnant when they married. However, Becky, was not pregnant when she and Mark eloped and they never had children together. Roseanne was not pregnant before marrying Dan. When the series began, Becky was 13 years old and Dan and Roseanne had been married 15 years.

Bingo - S4-E13

Factual error: When Little Ed is cutting a tooth, Dan tells D.J. to get a frozen waffle for him to teethe on. The waffle D.J. takes out of the freezer is not frozen and is soft and bendy.

Trivia: In the Season 7 episode, "White Men Can't Kiss," D.J. refuses to kiss a student named Geena Williams in a school play because she is black. In Season 10, it's revealed that D.J. is married to that same girl.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: In "Guilty By Suspicion," Jackie hangs up her coat in her living room closet. This is the same door that, when she first moved into the house, led to the basement.

The War Room - S9-E15

Continuity mistake: When a depressed Roseanne emerges from her bedroom after Dan has left her, she tells Nancy and Leon that she wants to turn over her and Jackie's shares of the restaurant to them. She says she wants Nancy and Leon to experience the same sense of accomplishment that she and Jackie felt when they first opened the business. However, Roseanne seems to have forgotten that it was Nancy, along with her, Jackie, and Bev, who started the restaurant.

The Birds and the Frozen Bees - S7-E23

Continuity mistake: Roseanne and Darlene are sitting on the sofa discussing Darlene getting back together with David. The cuff on the sleeve of Darlene's sweater is partially turned down, and in the next shot it's neatly turned up.
