For the first seven seasons of its original run on ABC, the Roseanne TV show was one of the most watched shows on television. It still came in 16th, in season eight and in the top 35, in season nine. After 21 years, Roseanne is back, but is it better than ever? Does the television audience still have an appetite for Conners, the way it does for NBC‘s Will & Grace? Will Roseanne be cancelled or renewed for season 11? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A family sitcom on ABC, the Roseanne TV series revival stars Roseanne Barr, John Goodman, Sara Gilbert, Laurie Metcalf, Michael Fishman, Alicia Goranson, Sarah Chalke, Emma Kenney, Ames McNamara, and Jayden Rey. Returning guest stars include Johnny Galecki, Sarah Bernhard, Estelle Parsons, James Pickens Jr., Natalie West, and Adilah Barnes. The comedy centers on working-class couple Roseanne and Dan Conner (Barr and Goodman), their family, and friends. Chalke, who replaced the departing Goranson as Becky in the original series, is returning in a new role. The reboot features new stories which touch on contemporary issues facing American families.
