Popjustice spoilers scene from first two episodes of Roseanne reboot
Roseanne and Jackie...
they haven't spoken in over a year, since the election. Jackie's first line is literally, "What's up, deplorable?" Followed soon by, "Knee still giving you trouble, Roseanne? Why don't you fix that with the new healthcare all you suckers got promised?" At one point she says, "Apparently all the weight you lost was the good Rosanne." Another exchange, when Jackie questions how she could have voted for Trump: R - "He talked about jobs, Jackie! He said he'd shake things up. I mean this might come as a complete shock to you, but we almost lost our house the way things are going." J - "Have you looked at the news? Cause now things are worse!" R - "Not on the real news!" There's also literally a scene where Dan tells Roseanne that their insurance has gone up and also covers less. But Roseanne Connor is, despite a vote that everyone in her family seems to begrudge her for, still seemingly as progressive as she was before. She has some great scenes with Darlene's son who chooses to wear girls' clothes, which bugs Dan at first. She also supports Becky when Dan is upset that she's going to be a surrogate.

Fuck her! I'm sorry about Sarah Gilbert, Sandra Bernhard, and any other nondeplorables in the cast, but I will never watch anything that fat, stupid count is in, or any program she's attached to.

It's innovative to have a family show discussing politics right now. If handled right, it may work and be hilarious.

Reunion shows always get huge opening ratings as audience tune in for the car wreck effect.
There will be huge hypocrisy here. On one hand Roseanne will still be a big Trump supporter, but will air more progressive views than he ever would. Looks like DJ will have a bi-racial child, I'm sure Roseanne will be hugely supportive of this even though Trump says her grandchild has a shithole heritage.

Just give Roseanne a year or two to flipflop back to considering herself progressive and denouncing Trump. She does his all for attention and the woman is crazy!

Jackie is without child in the reboot, so I guess Season 6-9 doesn’t apply to her.
They should have announced the series will ignore anything past season 5 and call it a day

So to get everything straight,
Dan is alive
Mark is dead
Jackie who was straight, then gay, is straight but without her child
Becky is Becky #1
The lottery didn’t happen
Roseanne, once a man hating ultra feminist is not a deplorable who voted for a misogynist
Bev, who was a late in life lesbian is straight again for her two episode arc
Darlene is still with David and not Mark (via the finale) but is divorced with multiracial children.

I think what actually happened is everything went well until they watched it and realized nothing made and sense and none of the plots matched up.
Which is why the premiere got pushed to late March

If Gilbert wanted to bring this show back she should have done it so that Rosenanne was dead... dead of some illness she couldn't get medical attention for because she voted for Drumpf and no longer had medical insurance.

Roseanne should be the character addicted to opioids; and then when she nearly OD's, she tries to get some affordable medical care but is denied.

Exactly r40, ABC totally misread the political climate in the country now. They were so focused on not missing out on another Fuller House success, that they too quickly approved this without thinking about the current environment.
At one time, they announced this as a limited series. Are they still sticking with that story?

The problem most people have with this is despite the complete 180 Roseanne Barr has done on her personal politics, the Roseanne Conner from 1988-1997 would never have been a Trump supporter. A character millions of people invested in for years, had the rug pulled from them. It was a huge mistake.
Dan Connor would have made better sense as a Trump voter.

God it’s like Whitney Cummings, Sara Gilbert and Roseanne sat around and said “Rember when we did....” put it into one stew of hazy recollections and false memories and created a reboot off of it.

So I guess Roseanne's biker past won out over her supposed hippie past? I always thought it was funny that the show could never decide if Roseanne and Dan were former hippies or Hell's Angels or whatever.

Roseanne was over the period of the show a:
Blue collar Mom hard working in a factory
Norma Rae
Sassy beauty parlor hair sweeper
Combative and lazy waitress
Career woman starting her own business
Hippie
Biker
Native American Woman (season 6 surgery)
Wise and absolute feminist
And now she is a deplorable Trumper

That is weird that they have written out Jackie's child. It's like Will & Grace.

r49 exactly. I can totally understand why they wrote off the last season with the lottery because it was a) ridiculous and b) the entire season was pretty much based in fantasy.
But it is a bit of an insult to O'Keefe and the fans who watched the show from the beginning.
It's also confusing. Kind of like the post-dream season for Dallas where you had to remember where things had left off when Bobby "died".

I could see on the show if she voted for Trump because of jobs and Healthcare, but now is pissed at him because he lied and was not as socially liberal as he said. That would make sense for Roseanne's character. Staying a Trump supporter doesn't.

No, Darlene totally would have stayed in Lanford. She was her mother's daughter. It was Becky, the way she was originally written at least, that never would have stayed in Lanford.
