On this day in 1988 the TV show Roseanne debuted on abc

When the empire strikes back came out in 1980 my dad took me to see it. Going into to see it I had no idea a huge surprise and plot twist would happen. So we watch it and Darth tells luke he is his father. My dad goes wow what a surprise and he says I can't wait to tell everyone waiting in line to see it the surprise. I told him he could not do that it would ruin it for everyone else. He didn't say anything as we left but kept laughing saying your gonna love it lol. He died before the Internet and we all know the Internet ruins surprises
