The tradition began in the show's second season and grew increasingly ambitious, with the production budget for the Halloween episodes reportedly exceeding that of regular episodes as the sets became more elaborate and the guest stars more surprising. The episodes captured something authentic about working-class Halloween celebrations—where creativity and effort matter more than money—and Roseanne Barr's genuine enthusiasm for the holiday drove storylines that ranged from heartwarming to genuinely spooky. The Halloween episodes remain the show's most rewatched and celebrated installments, establishing a tradition that influenced how every sitcom after it approached holiday specials.
