Clash of Titans

Great bit re: which 90's sitcom was better, Roseanne or Frasier?

On Frasier:

Besides sex, status is a preeminent theme in "Frasier." As Anita Gates wrote in The New York Times in 1998, "Frasier" spoke to America’s class system in a way no other show had by bringing together under one roof the new elites, Frasier and Niles, with their blue-collared compatriots, their dad Martin and his home health-care aide, Daphne, without resorting to crass stereotypes. As Gates argued: “One reason 'Frasier' works is that both classes are made up of good people with values, which happen to be expressed in different ways. The show gives both coastal yuppies and Middle America a good name."

On Roseanne:

They’re overweight and underpaid; the heads of a dysfunctional but cohesive family unit. "Roseanne" is what would happen if Tolstoy was a woman, moved to the Midwest, had a sense of humor and maybe got a little drunk on Bud Light. "Roseanne" was basically the drawing on a cave wall that predicted reality television. True reality, not "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" reality.

Damn. Way too difficult for me to choose. Impossible. I will lead you HERE to my favorite Frasier moment, as well as my favorite Roseanne one below. Both of many, of course.

D.J. Conner: [confronted about why he has been sneaking off to church] Mom, I wanted to tell you. I just had some questions about God and stuff. 
Roseanne Conner: Well, so why didn't you come to us if you had questions? You know, there's no two better people to answer your questions than me and your Dad. 
D.J. Conner: Okay. What religion are we? 
Roseanne Conner: I have no idea. Dan?  
Dan Conner: Well... my family's Pentacostal on Mom's side, Baptist on my Dad's. Your Mom's Mom was Lutheran and her Dad was Jewish. 
D.J. Conner: So what do we believe? 
Roseanne Conner: Well... we believe in, ah, being good. So basically we're good people. 
Dan Conner: Yeah, but we're not practicing.
