For you roseanne fans like me:
the final episode of roseanne begins with the family together learning that david and darlene's baby, harris conner healy, is going to be okay. Later in the episode, they are all gathered around the kitchen table when we hear roseanne's voice as she starts talking about how things really happened over the years. She states that dan actually died from his heart attack (at the end of the 8th season); darlene actually married mark and becky actually married david; and the list of "realities" continues. She tells the audience that many things that happened after she began writing (at the end of the second season) were not fact, but that the storyline was fiction, written by her. It was how she would have liked it to be or thought it should be.
In a nutshell, the very end of the final episode was the "reality" and much of what happened from the third season to that point was the "fiction" she penned.
You'll notice while she's telling us all of this that she is sitting in the old kitchen (the way it was before the remodeling), and the basement door is back in the kitchen as well
