A Dip In The Ratings
Considering Roseanne was the most popular TV show in America during its second season, there was only one place for it to go: down. Viewership declined significantly throughout the show’s 10-season run, although it remained a popular show for all 10 seasons. By Season 9 in 1996, the show recorded nearly 19 million viewers, a 20 million viewer decline from the height of its success.
