Members Vee Posted March 22, 2018 Members Share Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) Variety gives a mostly decent review (from Sonia Saraiya, who I can't stand). I've heard before that the pilot has the cast a little awkward in their rhythms, and this seems to bear that out. This bit about the pilot's Trump/Hillary plot and stuff in future is interesting (spoiler tagged): Edited March 22, 2018 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted March 23, 2018 Members Share Posted March 23, 2018 There's more good reviews circulating in the press today, which I am pleasantly surprised by. I still have a lot of reservations, but I like a fair amount of the clips I've seen. It'll just be nice to see them all again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted March 23, 2018 Members Share Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) Please register in order to view this content A good interview with Roseanne and John Goodman on Kimmel. Kimmel playfully grills her about Trump (and Goodman needles her a bit as well), and tbh Roseanne seems defensive but also sheepish. As I suspected, she seems secretly embarrassed despite her wounded pride - and interestingly, earnestly urges people to vote and "change it if you don't like it."

Members Vee Posted March 25, 2018 Members Share Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) An interesting and largely positive review from Buzzfeed. It still sounds like the pilot is the rockiest given growing pains and handling the Trump issue, and I'm glad they move on. That being said, this is the part that really interested me: A brief piece from THR in which the cast and crew (sans Roseanne) passes on screening the revival for Trump: Edited March 25, 2018 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted March 26, 2018 Members Share Posted March 26, 2018 Wow, Crystal and Chuck made it into a promo: Please register in order to view this content Lecy talks to the NY Daily News. She doesn't say it outright here, but she's right that the writing for Becky changed with her gone - it was nonexistent. Sarah Chalke is a fine actress today but back then all she did as Becky was play the pretty blonde bimbo. That's on the writing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted March 26, 2018 Members Share Posted March 26, 2018 What's weird though is that the show worked around Sara Gilbert's college schedule (she attended Yale on the east coast), but didn't do the same for Lecy. Perhaps Lecy wanted to squarely focus on college though. However, Darlene remained a central focus on the show even as Gilbert was away and could only do half seasons from seasons 6-9. If Darlene is Roseanne's true successor, Becky is certainly Jackie's - someone who had a lot of promise, but was never able to get it together. I think it was mentioned by Bev in the original show how Jackie always had good grades in school, but ultimately never lived up to any of that potential in life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
