KMan101

I loved it. Really enjoyed it. So many hilarious moments and it really captured the old feel of the show. It was just natural. It made sense. The Jackie/Roseanne political fight was funny and not overly pushy. Their makeup was classic Jackie/Roseanne makeup. Jackie's "JOURNEYS" was hilarious. Laurie was fabulous and isn't playing a cartoon, so that's a relief. Sara was great. The characters all felt in character to me. Kind of strange to see it in HD but I loved it. Oh and even though the name wasn't mentioned I liked they used Miss Crane as Mark's teacher, I liked the nods to Jackie's time on the force, I like that they had DJ marry the black girl he wouldn't kiss (Gina). I'm hopeful we get more seasons.

What are they talking about?

Oh. Of course. I've never got the appeal. They'd probably have to get rid of his clone first.

Haven't watched in quite a while, but I always feel like the show often kills off the wrong person, lol. Amy, Neeta and Frankie .... sigh. I'm still annoyed they killed off Jade and that happened how long ago? lol. That's about when I started to tune out. I go through phases watching. It grabs me for a while then I get annoyed with a decision and the turn in stories and move on for a while and then come back ...

I haven't watched in a long time at this point, but I'm glad Kat's returning alone. I never cared for Alfie.

I spotted David!

Looking around The Internet, Mark's teacher is indeed named Miss Crane. Judy Prescott is playing her. I've no idea if that is the original woman or not. But the similarity is great if it isn't and I love the teacher is again Miss Crane. She'd have been teaching for over 30 years at this point, lol. So we'll see how they handle it.

I feel like they've jumped back onto that celebrity bandwagon to a certain degree. It's worked better than in the past, I suppose. At least I don't feel like the characters are total cartoons like the last few seasons of the original show.

Very much agreed it's suffered creatively, a shorter season would have been better. The break didn't help and even I've struggled a bit to get back into watching it. The momentum gets lost in all these breaks and half of the time you'd never know a new episode was on if the DVR didn't record it. For me and the Trump thing I couldn't agree more. I stopped watching a lot of news, I'm so sick of hearing about him. But I found the episode where they joked about him hilarious. Believe me, I'm sick of Trump TV 24/7 too, but I still thought it was funny and they kind of needed to deal with it, IMHO. But I can also see why it may have turned some people off.

Apparently this is the new opening intro It's a little 'rough' but I like they're back at the table The chicken shirt is now forever immortalized in the opening credits. Maybe not the final cut because wouldn't the cast names be there too?

They started with politics because the political video they did is what got them back on the air. There's been a joke here and there. I know people are sick of politics but why can't we laugh about it? I have a lot more issues with Roseanne Conner as a Trump supporter than I do with the first episode of Will and Grace featuring jokes about the current White House resident. I'm not quite sure it's as easy as blaming that for the decreasing ratings (but, no, it probably didn't help and likely turned off the fanbase of Trump who can't seem to laugh at how ridiculous their president is). Even though it's multi-cam and lasted as long as it did, it's really no different at this point than NBC's other niche sitcoms with limited ratings. Niche shows that belong on streaming or cable. It's already guaranteed another season. I imagine considering the alternatives (AP Bio and Champions, which kind of looks interesting, barely pull 3 million and let's not pretend Superstore is some mega hit, it's not), NBC is probably still happy. I do think it was a mistake to have as many episodes as they are. While the episodes have been funny, I can see why there was probably a drop off in the audience. I agree it will happen to Roseanne too, but Roseanne has the ability to appeal to middle America (and I doubt the other side of the audience will be that turned off to tune out in droves, but it could be interesting to see what happens), which likely isn't going to turn out in droves for Will & Grace. Will & Grace ultimately lacks the broad appeal, it's not the generic CBS sitcoms.

Mark's teacher reminds me of M(r?)s. Crane from, what was it, the first episode where Darlene barks like a dog? I've watched every episode a gazillion times I should know this ... I believe this teacher is younger but the resemblance is interesting. Probably not intentional but maybe it was.

The schedule is out and WKRP is the only change/addition on April 2nd. Everything else is the same. Mama's Family will continue on weekends.

Lots of photos: http://tvline.com/gallery/roseanne-season-10-photos/

OMG that new trailer. I LOOOOVE the stairs bit. LMAO. Looks good. I'm feeling better seeing more and more footage. The same vibe is there. Pretty amazing that the show premiered 30 years ago this October, and it's returning to television the same year.

YAY! WKRP In Cincinnati is coming Monday, April 2nd! It will air weeknights at 9:30pm. No idea on the full lineup yet. Hope there's a real change in the schedule but it's probably just replacing Mama's Family lol. Hogan's Heroes must do damn well at 10:00PM for them Antenna TV added it in 2012. Not sure when they stopped airing it though, anyone have a rough guess? I also didn't realize until very recently that Decades and MeTV are sister stations. So it makes sense now that Decades has picked up some shows that MeTV stopped airing.

I despise her Twitter stuff. So I wasn't sure I could get into it. I can. lol. But I totally understand having a hard time with her as a person.

LOVE. So excited. Finally saw some footage so I can relax a bit. BEV! In the pie eating scene she's there on the right by Jackie, it's brief but I bring her up because in the brief scene she looks THE SAME. It's so bizarre to have ROSEANNE back.

I remember kind of loathing so much of Season 11. Reading the great recaps by @YRBB brings it all back, lol I'm with Carl on how I hated Meg living with Mack and Karen. It was also sad how isolated Val was. I don't actually remember thinking that watching the season (which, it's been quite a while) but reading the recaps it's obvious how little she was used and how isolated she was. I mean, a character like Valene almost writes herself, how could no one not be interested in that? I remember being disappointed in the Michael/Eric/Linda thing. I don't know I don't remember feeling like they truly did it justice. I also felt Harold and Olivia were mostly wasted, which was a shame. I was so bored of their money woes. Olivia definitely had shades of Abby and I wish they did more with her. Betsy Palmer was always over the top and campy LOL. It worked, sort of, on Knots but it felt a bit out of place and I sort of resented how they could have Betsy Palmer come in but Lilimae was dumped. And I love whacky Betsy Palmer. But Aunt Ginny was odd. I also don't remember caring much about Amanda and it just felt so dragged out and tedious. The initial rape and the next morning followup were good but I didn't care for the hallucination thing, it felt like they weren't taking it seriously but I could be remembering wrong. I both liked and hated Tom. I loathed Mack most of the time. And I got kind of sick of Knots becoming The Greg and Paige Show, as much as I loved them, Nicolette Sheridan and William Devane. They definitely carried the show in it's later years though. But it was just ... a lot at times. Although I'd center a show around them too, they're both so damn good and interesting to watch. But Greg drained me at times lol. It was just ... a lot.

Yeah, I've noticed pretty much all the soaps around 1994-1997 started a drop off. 1997-1998 being some of the worst for some, IMHO. GL took a total nosedive after a decent (all things considered based on what came after) 1997. It's weird, because around that time it's almost like the shows stopped "progressing" so to speak. I also don't think it's helped when they switched how they film/tape the show. It makes them look even more cheap than they are. A little less "real" if you will. Not to mention the total lack of a budget. Y&R and B&B still look decent for the most part. Y&R's suffering from a lack of sets though, IMHO. It's not quite as bad as the other soaps but it's starting to become more obvious.

Wow, loved watching those 1999 episodes! One of my favorite years. Y&R pulled me in in 1998. I really quite enjoyed 1998-2002. 2003/2004/2005 were still fine but it was starting to veer off. And it just seemed to be a string of losing actors/characters I liked. It didn't seem like it added up at the time, but looking back it does. Looking back it feels like Jack Smith started the decline. It wasn't severe, but didn't we lose a few actors as well as several recurring characters?

That is interesting. How do you not even talk about Jackie having a kid? I don't get it. He doesn't need to be a regular or even seen at all (like Jerry). He couldn't be mentioned in passing (or maybe he is and that's not coming across)? It's strange. I get focusing on the core characters but the Andy thing is weird. Did she not realize fans wouldn't notice? Did THEY forget? I just want confirmation he still exists. It kind of sounds like he does. (And I imagine him gay and in the army, but that's me) And kind of random, but it sounds like Sandra Bernhard's appearance is in the 9th episode.

I like Tierney but there were a LOT of times Abby grated on my nerves. lol

LOVE ER! I used to watch the reruns on TNT because I started the show pretty late into it's run (I think it was either the season before or the season Anthony Edwards left). The last few seasons were so-so but I always really enjoyed it. Even if the show isn't terrible, it's always tough for me to enjoy it the same as I did when you had most of the original cast still around. I loved a lot of the new characters. Maura Tierney I know it's easier to watch whenever now that it's on Hulu, but Pop's been airing ER for a while now. It's nice to see it back in reruns and available for streaming.

I'm so tired of Meghan turning something into a problem when there isn't one. I do applaud her for wanting to have a serious conversation and I get why she gets annoyed when Joy cracks a joke, but Joy wasn't laughing about the domestic abuse, and Meghan turned it into Joy laughing at domestic violence and then proceeded to of course play the victim. Lawd. I've tried so hard. I actually haven't been minding her as much. But then today happens. Meghan, chill girl. So, you think 1 season and done for her?
