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.

If there was any show ABC was likely looking at, it was probably Will & Grace vs. Girls Meets World or even Fuller House.  W&G is the only other reboot on broadcast TV - cable audiences are generally small and Netflix viewership means jack to a broadcast network. Granted the W&G reboot didn't premiere yet when the Roseanne reboot was ordered, but it did generate a lot of buzz in advance. 

 

Anyway, ABC has spent a shitload of money on promoting this reboot, everyone and their mother knows the show is coming back at this point. ABC seems to have a lot of faith, let's see if viewers actually come back. Though, I guess, you don't need a ton of viewers to e successful these days...

That's really good... however, I couldn't see it actually garnering 15 million on network television, a la Big Bang Theory today. 

 

I loved that trailer! So glad to see a glimpse of "craftmatic adjustable Bev" in the right kitchen chair. She looks exactly the same. 

 

For those torn, ignore Roseanne Barr the actress and focus on Roseanne Conner, the character, along with the rest of the Conner family at 714 Delaware St in Lanford, Illinois.

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.

The original show was a big hit from the first episode too. Someone on Twitter posted this article - the show premiered the same week as the World Series, and the only scripted show to beat it that week was The Cosby Show (the #1 show on TV at that point, which Roseanne would displace).

    • And her evolution was so subtly done. There was nothing like the depraved shows later on, like Game of Thrones, where they said a woman needed to be raped in order to find empowerment. The layers of Laura were what got me hooked on Knots, somewhere in the season 3 repeats. And I agree that her becoming a therapist would have made sense - look at how much her trauma over her mother drove her decisions early on.
    • I think that the problem with Laura was that she had grown to love herself and saw her value in both herself, her career, and her marriage.  She had this inner strength and confidence that Lynn/Bernard didn't know how to harness/write for because they were more interested in generating conflict amongst emotionally immature people. Karen/Mac and Gary/Val were all immature/stubborn to a fault even though they all had grown/evolved.  So the Latham's could key into their essence/history to generate the standard soap opera tropes and stories for them. Even the season 8 conflict with Laura's pregnancy and Greg not being cool with it didn't diminish Laura's fire and strength.  You saw how she was able to move on and live her life as a single mother because she'd already done that after Richard took off.   I saw her response to Greg's kissing Paige as 'that's my husband and I can't change him.. but once I find something better, I'll toss himself'.  She wasn't emotionally tied to him nor his money.. and I think that was partly why she was such a unique and interesting character in the nighttime soap world in the 80s.
    •   They actually had great chemistry to as friends in the scene I felt. A shame it was the first onscreen interaction. Looks better than Bill/Hayley’s house. I absolutely loved that! I feel the exact same way. This is just facts. Those scenes today between them were electric.
    • If The Real Housewives of Dubai is on hiatus/pause (a.k.a. done), then we need a way for Caroline Stanbury to come back to Ladies of London.
    • I hate quick snip scenes.  Such a tired hold-over from the 1980s.  And that nonsense does not belong on BTG.  Bring back the long scenes.  
    • And a great......and a great.....
    • Eva packing, thinking about how good the Richardson's house smells.

    • In light of yesterday's news...I figured it was okay to bump this up. And probably do a rewatch.

    • I don't really read spoilers, but Perry Shen seems to come and go so even if this is an "exit" it's probably not permanent.
