I agree. I also like John Goodman, but even he can't carry a show as the lead. The show needs Rosanne.
He is a terrific supporting actor. He made “The Big Lebowski.”
“even he can’t carry a show as the lead.”
He can’t carry *that* show as a lead, but he’s had some pretty good films. Not King Ralph of course, but he was excellent as Babe Ruth and that movie where he played that 50s movie theater operator was pretty good.
But, yeah, he isn’t carrying Roseanne w/o Roseanne.
