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.

It was weird seeing Darlene and Becky hug in that trailer - that would've never happened with they were teens, lol. 

 

I think they're going to have to soften Darlene's character a bit in this reboot, as she's now an established mother of two. Darlene arguably had the most charter development/progression in the original series, so it would make sense to me.

I have a feeling Darlene in this reboot will be a lot more like how Sara Gilbert is in real life.. as opposed to how Darlene in the original series was like a complete 180 from Sara Gilbert in real life..imho.

 

Here are some early reviews...

I wonder how much of a platform The Talk will provide for Roseanne given that it’s on a different network. Granted, talk shows promote series on competing networks all the time, but it will be interesting to watch. I’m sure Sara Gilbert won’t miss doing The View.

Darlene was something of a dour wisecracker if I remember. SG comes across as somewhat cerebral and dry on The Talk (not that it’s a bad thing - I think she really tells it like it is while seeing both sides of an issue).

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?

Haven't seen this one:

ABC's promos are way too OTT. This one definitely indicates a Halloween episode of some sort - and Becky seems to still be waitressing:

I hear the first episode - the Trump v. Hillary/Roseanne v. Jackie bout we're all dreading - is very broad in how it handles the issue. Then other folks say no, it boils down to the old Roseanne/Jackie sibling conflict, which would be nice if it's true. I don't know. To be honest a lot of new socially relevant sitcoms these days are very broad or earnest, and Roseanne never shied away from those occasionally artificial 'you go girl' moments, even in some of its better years. The new One Day at a Time is often both broad and earnest at times - and though I used to hate it, I don't mind broad right now if it has something more substantive behind it and a good heart. If they can manage that with this revival, and the reviews so far seem straight down the middle on the early episodes, then we'll see. I hope so.

      date: Tuesday, May 20 | Ron Carlivati, Cheryl L. Davis | Shelley Curtis Pack up your crap, Derek. And take that hideous chair with you, but don't throw out the food! We know you have a particular habit of doing that. Anita being nervous about Tracey's arrival is cute, and I love that Vernon joined her. I'm just hoping Sharon will join them soon. Tomas and Eva keep getting ... teased! I appreciate him filling her in on what happened with Dana and Katherine. Dana, what in the world are you working at?! If I saw you with your evil smiles in my hospital room as I woke up, I'd be questioning what nightmare I was existing within. I appreciate the continued evolution of Tomas' backstory and where he's come from. It sounds familiar to what I've heard from others, so it's nice that true history can be nodded to. Derek, there is no way in Hell Jacob and/or Naomi want your stank-gross behind crashing on their couch. Katherine better be careful; she keeps intercepting Dana at all of these places, and if she is not careful, she may become the primary target of her plans. Dante Greene? Is he the Barry Gordy Jnr of the story? I appreciate that Tracy has some genuine feelings towards Anita and their past history. But I appreciate that she is at least open-minded to reuniting with Anita on a personal basis; it'll be interesting to see how Sharon reacts when she arrives (I am guessing). Not the wig washing. Dana's personalities and wigs must be an ongoing gag. But good on Eva for calling her out about being falsely accused of running Laura off of the road. I've said it once, and I will say it again: Katherine should be a detective, because her instincts are sharper than sharp. Notes: Can we stop having the male actors on this show sitting on tables? It's such a pet peeve of mine. Like, chairs exist for your backside to sit on, not tables where we EAT! The top they have Tamara Tunie (Anita) in would annoy the frick out of me if that flower kept hitting me in my chin. I'd be pulling that crap off immediately.

      Just certain storylines. It’s definitely worth it to get caught up. He absolutely still needs to be recast.

      I can't believe the gall of Leslie, but I love it! Makes great TV.  I hope they move on from this Ashley/Derek story about having difficult adjusting to living together. I get it. It's a thing. However, the way it's being written is boring. It should have been written for comedy getting on each others nerves. Maybe it would have lightened both characters and made them people to root for.  Okay. What happened to Tomas? He's improved so much this week! He is still a little dry sometimes, but I stick with him for now. I enjoy hearing his backstory and bonding with Eva.  Then, of course, Eva just rocks everything.

      hard to believe that laura’s been in the hospital for what? — three months — and no one — not shanice, not mona — has filled her in about what happened at the anniversary party! does she not have any idea what leslie’s done.?

      The actor playing Tomas is at his best opposite Eva. Ambyr will definitely pull the talent out. I still want him recast.

      Yowzers! I'm only on episode 17 right now - LOL - you paint a dreadful picture of this show. Just popped into this thread page and I gotta wonder... is all of it bad or just certain storylines?
