I didn't watch the "Rosanne" show all that often, but one I did see involved Rosanne talking to Darlene's boyfriend (Darlene was Rosanne's teenaged daughter on the show). Rosanne was blundering ahead and about to blow a Big Secret. Darlene, standing behind the boyfriend, kept giving Rosanne The Look, and jerking her head, as if to say "Shut the hell up!" But Rosanne picked up on the head-jerking and said, "What's the matter, girl? Is something wrong? What are you trying to tell me? You say Timmy fell down the well?" and on and on in that vein. One of the funniest bits I've ever seen on any comedy show. In fact, Rosanne and Sara Gilbert, who played Darlene, cracked each other up so much while they were taping the scene, they showed the out-takes at the end of the show. Absolutely hilarious!
