Did anyone watch the season premier of Roseanne last night?

If so, what did you think?

No, I'm not racist fuck, or a supporter of racist fucks.

Yes. Seemed a bit forced.

I agree.

I watched it and thought it was hilarious. I hope they can manage this so that it's more than just one season. If all invoked work with this it might be a hit all over again.

I watched it, got a few laughs. The first episodes of Roseanne are hilarious IMO. Its a great memory for me, my mom loved her before she got dementia. We would just laugh and laugh at the show.

Yes and it was awesome-nogaps-like there was no break in between. And the two Beckys. You have to watchit if you did years ago.

I did. Thought it was great.
Hope it lasts. Loved the first go 'round. Still watch the reruns.
I really liked how they showed how their prescription costs were more than they could
afford. Jackie brought up a salient point about healthcare under 45.
Also thought it was appropriate that they addressed how so many working class
people supported 45 because he promised jobs. Yet ,Darlene is out of work, Becky works in a
restaurant, and is lying about her age because she wants to be a surrogate to make money to get out of debt. Interesting how DJ had been deployed in Syria. You never hear anything about
how our military is deployed there.
Roseanne Barr is not a stupid woman. Not by any stretch of the imagination.

@TheInterlooper No, not everyone. It just seems like it. Probably because he's just so reprehensible.

I was not a big fan of her first show, but she did address many human rights issues and should be applauded for that. I'll probabaly not watch this one either, but I understand she is trying to protray the Trump voter and explain why they voted for him. Solly for the spelling, but spell check doesn't seem to be working and I am dyslexic.

I didn't watch her before, as I found her a not too bright and rather tastless person. Why should I watch her now.

I watched it. Didn't feel like it lived up to its hype.

That's what I thought. But I never watched the original series, so no frame of reference there.

I enjoyed the original series. But I was much younger then, so maybe my sense of humor has just matured a little.

I loved it, but it was a little bitter sweet. I haven't talked to my sister since the election, either.

I loved Darlene's "weird is Wonderful" pep talk to her son.
Her daughter's character only seemed to flounce out of the room.
Maybe they will develop her character in a later episode.

She was Debbie on Shameless, a super show.

i never saw the original, but I'm at my brothers house today and he had it on. Probably the worst show i ever saw! The laugh track was really obnoxious -- it just kicked in based on the rhythm of the lines, not whenever anything was funny!

1

No I don't have commercial TV and when I did this was not something I watched. Anyway she is a big tRump supporter.

Not me. It was ho hum the first time around. I can't understand it when these kinds of shows try to remain relevant. Kinda like Star Wars. It should have gone away after the first 3 movie releases. Even The Big Bang Theory has turned to crap. It needs to end instead of withering on the vine. I predict the new Roseanne won't last long.

3

I was pleasantly surprised. The only thing that really bothered me was Roseanne's face lift. I don't think Roseanne Connor would have done that.

Someone pointed out that they are dealing with almost every social issue.

Adult kids returning. Mixed race marriage. Cross dressing. Surrogate motherhood. Health insurance.

Did they miss anything?

What happened to Crystal?

Disagreement over politics.

Dan back from the dead....

YES! I loved it. Stayed true to the original show yet relevant to today. Loved, loved, loved Jackie wearing the pussy hat! She was always my favorite. Although now I have a hard time seeing her as anyone but Sheldon Cooper's mom, lol.

@TheInterlooper oh sorry, got a little over excited. lol

2

I turned it on, because I liked the original. But this time Roseanne kicked it off by praising Trump. I immediately cut it off.

i hope she finally got her riding vacuum cleaner
