In “Interim Mayor” Roseanne guest stars as Portland’s new interim mayor in the wake of the scandal that rocked the city in last week’s episode. To no one’s surprise, Portland fills its city government positions with a Temp Agency and Roseanne is available to step in when she gets the call. There are only a select few who are capable of handing a city as diverse as Portland and as Rosanne notices, the city isn’t quite what she expected. “It seems like everyone is lost in a dream world.” Roseanne wants to change the unique way of life in Portland by actually making the people work. The sitcom diva imagines a city where coffee shops are for drinking coffee only, a city with fewer bike lines, fewer businesses for dogs and with the pee smell that graces New York and Chicago. She even cuts the cord on the Internet, essentially becoming a power thirsty dictator. It is clear that Roseanne doesn’t belong in Portland. So when Fred tricks Roseanne into resigning, no one sheds a tear. We want the Mayor back!
