Silly episode, but still worth the watch
kanikragston31 March 2015
Warning: Spoilers
While I'll admit the episode is silly, it has NOTHING to do with Roseanne hosting an award show. I don't even know if the person who wrote that actually watched the episode lol. Roseanne wants 10 minutes of peace and quiet to herself, and while waiting for it, she falls asleep on the bed and dreams that not only is her bathroom now exotic and huge, but it comes with two "studs" who are there to help her. When she keeps getting interrupted by her family, she "kills" them off, one by one, is arrested by her sister, and has her trial with everyone including her family, praising her, by musical, saying they are crazy about her.

I'll admit, I used to not enjoy this episode, but after watching it on Netflix a million times it's grown on me, and I found myself singing the song they sing while making dinner, doing laundry, in the store... It's catchy!

Sweet Dreams (#2.8)
ComedyFan20108 March 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Roseanne wants to take a bath. But her family makes it hard for her to get one. So she falls asleep and has a dream of a perfect bath, killing her family and then going through a court which pretty much turns into a musical.

That is a weird episode. I get the point, it is supposed to represent the big wish of a family woman to take some time to relax and how family makes it impossible so she figuratively wants to kill them.

It is not great as we don't have a nice story and a usual Roseanne atmosphere. But it has some fun in it as we see the "soft porn" for women with luxurious bath and hot hunks. And the cast singing is not ordinary, they must have had fun filming it.

Gosh, this episode is awful
mmandalay24 February 2022
Ridiculously unfunny episode. Hard to believe this was early in the series. It is more aligned with the inferior quality and preposterousness of the final season. Skip this. Truly lame and embarrassing .

Skip. Worst episode of the entire series.
zachdknight19 May 2022
Roseanne is such a great show. Especially the early years. This episode is just awful. There's nothing funny about it. It just drones on and on and on. They could have done an episode like this and actually have it work. Instead they decided to do 15 minutes of aterrible musical act.

Don't watch this episode
foxytree25 February 2015
Warning: Spoilers
If you are a first time Roseanne watcher. The episode is pointless and nothing about it is funny. Roseanne hosts an award show in her bathroom and it just becomes some wild stupid fantasy. Skip. I've only seen it once and that was 15 years ago. Mistake. I don't know what the producers were really thinking here and in 1989, it is still no excuse. Audiences weren't that dumb back then, were they?

It's sad to see a very bad episode this early on in the show, because when you get to season 9 the bullets start flying. I would just skip the entire last season and watch the last episode just to laugh at. This isn't THE worst episode, but it has to be one of them. Too bad we just can't include season 9 as one terrible episode.

It's a funny episode

Sweet Dreams episode.

Contains spoilers:

A lot of people dislike this episode, but I love it. It's so funny and the song is so catchy. Honestly it's super cute. You gotta watch it. Every episode has a place and this one fits right in with the fact that this entire show is all about Roseanne. And the fact that Roseanne is always putting everyone before her needs. All she wanted was 10 minutes alone in her bathroom. You can't have a great show without a little singing. Trust me, the more you watch the episode, the more you will grow to appreciate it. Give it a chance. And enjoy watching one of the greatest shows ever made.

A surreal detour from the Roseanne series
benm-4175119 October 2018
This episode is completely ludicrous and bizarre. While it really has nothing to do with the show, it's a pleasantly strange exercise in surrealism amid the regular sitcom format of Roseanne.
