Roseanne

This is TONIGHT. It'll be the first show I've watched on network TV in many years( ABC/CBS/NBC/Fox)

Watching this atm. I swear it's like this show never went off the air. Digging it so far.

Ya both episodes were pretty good. Oddly enough the Trump/Anti Trump lines you could tell everyone found awkward and while bringing in the feud of modernism into the show, felt almost out of place at times. The second episode moved on from the feud finally so I'm guessing not as big a issue onward.

It is odd seeing Emma from Shameless in this and gender confused kid.
I love me some Roseanne Barr and John Goodman

I am 90 episodes into Magnum PI currently and only just past halfway through the 8 seasons. Been sneaking in some Sanford and Sons and old A-Team too. Shame Encore doesn't have the MacGyvers, Gilligan Island and Knight Rider. I would spend the rest of 2018 watching 1980. I spent last month on M.A.S.H. haha

Just finished the first two episodes and thought they were great. Debbie from shameless was the only thing that didn't feel right to me but that's probably because I watched shameless. Roseanne and Goodman really are amazing together. Harshaw is also dead on in that it really did feel like this show never went off the air.

I thought that was the joke, especially since they are in some weird "surrogate" agreement where they are using the surrogate's egg. I thought Dan dying was part of that whole "just kidding this was just what Rosy wrote!" shtick. Oh well, who cares on that retcon. Dude is seriously half of the show, and it would not have had a chance without him. I loved the political stuff, and it was refreshing to see a show actually poke fun at both sides equally. The truth has already been stated about it feeling like it never went off the air, so I will just solidarity bump that one. Loved it. The fact that Gilbert is one of the executive producers bodes well also.

It's too bad that David won't be on this... I loved his character and the dynamic he had with Roseanne. Although, Darlene is on his Living Biblically show, but it's not Big Bang Theory. Oh well, can't have everything I guess.

Won't lie, still have a crush on Darlene. The stirring of youthful urges.

Watch a bit of the View. It will fix that.

I don't link fictional characters to their actors for a reason. It's why I can still enjoy MCU movies.

while i have not watched it, ratings for the night was...umm... good

18.2 million total viewers and a 5.1 demo rating (across its double-episode run)

highest rated demo and viewers for a comedy in 3.5 years-across all networks.

Roseanne is just insanely more authentic and relateable. The show has been mimicked poorly ever since it went off the air.

Just finished the first couple of episodes and I enjoyed them a lot. Lots of nostalgia, and like everyone else said it felt just like the old show. I hope the ratings keep up and that they keep going for more seasons. This is exactly the type of shit we need right now.

Trump personally called Roseanne to congratulate her on ratings

Lithose was right. This is a salt mine
