Subject: What TV show is closest to your own life?

Written By: quirky_cat_girl on 01/05/07 at 12:34 am

After much thought and consideration...I would have to say, "Roseanne".  It's not exact or anything...but there are some similarities:


We are part of the working class, just getting by day by day.
I have a younger sis (Beth) whom I protect. We bicker sometimes, but never really fight. She is like Jackie because she continues to try and "find herself" in life.
I love to write, but have given up my dreams (temporarily) to raise my nephew
I am...erm....chubby...and so is my husband! ;)
I have a child who is a mixture of the Conner children (sometimes bratty, yet strangely unique ;))
We live in a small town just as the Conners
A night out bowling or hanging out at a local restaurant is usually sufficient
We have dreams and aspirations, yet, we can't seem to get ahead


NOW...if we could only win the lotto! :D ;D


So, what about you?

24 because though i often am confused, I always get it in the end :D

Relax, I am only kidding.  LOL.  Seriously though,

I would have to say Yes, Dear.  I am like the Jimmy Hughes character ... mooching off my family ;D

Malcom in the Middle and Rosanne. Our family has mixed qualities from both of those shows.

My husband is a combination of Al Bundy and George Costanza. I'm Peg Bundy all the way.. but since we don't have kids... I guess we're more like THE ROPERS. :P

UM, perhaps My three sons...if the sons were all daughters instead, and the uncle/housekeeper disappeared.

This is weird, cos only today I was thinking this is a good idea for a thread!  I was inspired by the chaos in my household - and I'm going to get all British on you here.  My bathroom is like Silent Witness (forensic pathology type stuff, if you haven't seen it) because of all the Barbie corpses floating face down in the bath.  My dining room is like 'Sorted' (drama about postmen) because of all the packages waiting to be mailed for eBay.  And my family dynamic - pure Roseanne.  That woman is my role model - and I'm famous for what my kids call 'mummy meltdown'!

I can relate to the family of Growing Pains to my family when I was growing up. Then maybe our family was more like the Arnolds on the Wonder Years. Then when my parents divorced, it felt more like the Gilmore Girls. Now, my life reflects and relates to a lot of the characters on Scrubs.
