The re-created set is pretty amazing! I liked what Sara and John said about the characters have an established 30 year history and a lot can be said about them without even saying it.

Love, love, love it all. So excited for this.

Everyone involved seems so happy to be together again and their enthusiasm is infectious. Hey, if it took them 20+ years if only to correct all the mistakes of the 1996-97 season, I'm all for it. 😎

The bit about Dan and Roseanne lamenting the prices of their prescriptions is old school for the show.

That's one of many bits that will make it interesting to see the Conners living in the 21st century.

I liked hearing the cast talking about it. It's just absolutely bizarre and cool that Roseanne is coming back. I've wanted a revival for a long time.

 

Here's a compilation of the teaser promos they released around Christmas:

Johnny Galecki talks about Roseanne and TBBT

Galecki said that scheduling played a part in his Roseanne encore being so brief. But the fact that he revisited his role on a rival network’s sitcom at all is not to be taken lightly.

 

When TVLine asked Galecki if the negotiations for him to be lent out to Roseanne were delicate, he nodded, “‘Delicate’ is a good word for it.

 

“It was probably most unconformable only to me,” he continued, “because obviously Big Bang is my home and my family. But I probably wouldn’t have been on Big Bang if it hadn’t been for Roseanne. So there were the politics to be considerate about, but everyone was very supportive.”

 

And if Roseanne in success is renewed for next season, he hopes to play David a bit more. “If they come back next year to do another eight or nine [episodes], I would love to do more than one [episode].

Did these get posted? I'm all turned around links-wise.

 

Somehow Mark Jr.'s fashion sense in his press shot has perfectly emulated Nana Mary/Shelley Winters.

Those photos are new to me.

 

Yasss to Mark Jr. channeling Nana Mary lol.

 

And yasss to Jackie in the nasty woman shirt and "the hat" ... lmao

 

I hope the show isn't too political. It never was in the first place, though I do want them (as they obviously will it seems) to touch upon it.

 

Aww. We get to see the garage.  LOL

I'm confused, the EW article has blurb's about what each character has been doing, and for Jackie it says she's single and childless, so was her kid a dream too? lol

Roseanne and John Goodman presenting at the Golden Globes - they both look good, and I was surprised to see them presenting:
