Is anyone watching the new episodes? I think they’re great! Some people are refusing to watch for political reasons, but I think so far it’s very well done.

I just watched the third one. I’m starting to get peeved at the regular channels who make you pay for episodes of popular shows that were just premiered 2 weeks ago. I am stubborn and can wait for Netflix to watch the first two. They’re not as relaxed and as easy as they were on the original series, I think some of them have to work the stiffness out. I think the actress from Shameless as Darlene’s daughter Harris is perfect already. Some of them haven’t acted in a while and I think they’re still working on their timing. But by no means have I knee-jerk noped this revival. Sure I disagree with Roseanne Barr on a lot of crap. But she’s also not a typical Republican. Conservatives used to loathe her, which I find hysterical. Remember the crotch grabbing National Anthem?? Pearls clutched! Until the strands broke and pearls everywhere! I think the market for a Trump-crowd-friendly sitcom is wide open and she’d be crazy not to take advantage of it. But Trump better hope that his base doesn’t start to love her the way they adore him. She could throw a wrench into the finer points if she gets enough influence. And she doesn’t seem to like Pence at all. I’m sure they’re just eating up Jackie as the Trump derangement syndrome liberal. I love watching how justified they feel. Finally! Someone in Hollywood who gets it! There’s some truth there. But as I recall, Jackie was a solid character, a good aunt and sister who would do anything for her family. We may appear crazed, but sometimes people who see a danger that our family and friends don’t seem to acknowledge do appear to be absolutely bonkers until things go sideways and suddenly we don’t look so crazy anymore.

The first episode was a bit over the top, particularly the part with Jackie showing up in her pussy hat. LOL That was just dumb. But I thought it had some interesting points, like Darlene being laid off and the Connors not being able to get their medication. Even for blue-collar "real American" Republicans, life is not so rosy and the economy is not great for the working class. Also, the acceptance of Mark wearing dresses was very well done. But man, I was cheering on Roseanne when she took on that brat, Harris. When she called Roseanne a stupid hillbilly, I was really waiting for her to just smack her one! What she did was better, though. (I have my own teens who never act as bratty as that kid but if they did, I'd be very tempted to use her sink hose trick!)

I wonder if Johnny Galecki will ever show up as David? 😄
And now I’m sad about Glenn Quinn all over again 😢

I've really enjoyed it! And whoever they cast as Darlenes daughter has completely nailed it!

I watched the first couple episodes. Overall, the acting kinda sucks.

I couldn't tolerate her the first time around. Her laugh alone makes me want to kick a puppy. And I love puppies, so it's best I avoid.

Initially I was take it or leave it. I really think the acting is not getting better and I found the interaction of Roseanne and Harris,this last episode awful.
I will stick to "The Middle" if I want to see a struggling midwest family. Patricia Heaton's politics in real life are not anything I agree with, but her show is sweet, heartfelt, and real.

I saw some bits, and holy is the acting ever clunky. The story line seems really really forced, the politics over the top.

I liked her back in the day but like the Xfiles sometimes it’s better to leave stuff from the past in the past

Her laugh cracks me up. She reminds me of my Aunt Bobbi. Who isn’t perfect either and drives my grandmother (her mother in law) completely nuts, but I think she’s interesting.
The acting is stiff though, I get the feeling they put this together faster than they would have liked to take advantage of a market eager for something like it.

I'm enjoying it, mostly for the chemistry between Roseanne and John Goodman.
"Dad, tell her she's being stupid" "Yeah, that's never worked out for me"
I was afraid the whole thing was going to be uber political based on the first episode, but it looks like that was setting the tone and it's going to be just background stuff (thankfully). If they stick more to the multi-generational family under one roof type dynamics, I'll keep watching.
I agree about the casting of Harris. Dead ringer for teen Darlene. She's so good on Shameless too. They need that kind of character to still go toe-to-toe with Roseanne I guess.

I have a serious issue with David walking out on his kids... I think that's a huge leap. I don't see the old David soing that at all and I don't think they made it believable at all...
