Roseanne Returns: Is TV Ready for a Trump-Loving Comic With "Nothing Left to Prove"?
by Lacey Rose February 21, 2018, 6:00am PST

The opioid crisis, illegal immigration, gender identity: 'Roseanne' returns after 20 years with a ripped-from-the-headlines depiction of a working-class family's fears and foibles as the show's all-star creative team gathers to debate the politics of television's most anticipated reboot of the year: "I said, 'We got to have a Hillary slam.'"

Roseanne Barr vowed this time would be different.

“I’m way too old to be fighting,” the 65-year-old comedian told Roseanne co-star Sara Gilbert, who reached out in the spring of 2017 about jumping in on TV’s current reboot craze and reviving their iconic sitcom. If Gilbert could reassemble the entire Conner family, including Roseanne’s husband, Dan (John Goodman), and sister, Jackie (Laurie Metcalf), Barr would return. Her only stipulation: Gilbert, who would serve as an executive producer as well as her onscreen daughter Darlene, would need to take on any battles that arose, be it with the series’ writers or its host network, ABC.

Well, we do need a counter to that train wreck they call Will and Grace.   

SO here is hoping.

Roseanne is responsible for one of the best phrases I've ever used to describe myself............. a "Domestic Goddess."   :silly:

Other than that, I can't think of much reason to watch her on TV again....

This ALMOST makes me want to watch this show. Almost.

I probably won't, though.

You didn't need Roseanne to be a goddess, domestic or otherwise.

My daughter and I loved the original series and I have  hopes for this reboot.
