Featuring the complete original cast, new series regulars and notable returning guest stars, the revival will explore life, death and everything in between through the relatable, hilarious and brutally honest lens of the Conner household. With the inimitable Roseanne at its epicenter, fresh stories that tackle today's issues and even more laughs from a brilliant cast and crew that haven't missed a beat, audiences old and new will celebrate the homecoming of America's favorite working-class family.
- What Roseanne has consistently done, in the past and in the reboot, is face discrimination head on, whether to defend the clothing choices of her queer grandson or stand up to verbal attacks against her Muslim neighbors after realizing she's been a fool.Reply
- Roseanne ends its first revival season on a high note, giving John Goodman his best dramatic showcase since the original series' run.Reply

- Even as it makes millions of viewers laugh each week, it reminds us of the growing inequalities for a large segment of the population that mainstream media has a history of ignoring.Reply
- The new Roseanne does seem to be-in the first five episodes, at least-honestly dedicated to exploring class and cultural divisions in a way it hadn't always done before.Reply
- Roseanne is a golden oldie, but its themes are still ripped from today's headlines and turned into real people's problems. What's more, it has the crucial element for great nostalgia: It's good enough to win new fans who never saw the original.Reply
- Life in modern America is often pitiless and cruel, and, within the confines of the Conner house, comedy is a coping mechanism, a way to embrace one's own powerlessness by way of ironic misdirection.Reply
- Viewers spend years getting to know these characters, and the chance to visit them again is like seeing an old friend...Roseanne's success is not just about nostalgia: the show focuses on middle-class values and problems.Reply
- The first episode was a little clunky, but, like an old car, it got running pretty good once the gunk burned off. Episode two was excellent.Reply
- If you were a fan of the original, it won't be a hard sell for you to comfortably enjoy it a second time around. If you're just discovering Roseanne for the first time, it will just feel comfortable. It's exactly the reboot that 2018 America needs.Reply

- This one might work. The U.S. is such a divided place right now and Roseanne is the right vehicle to speak to that, the way All in the Family spoke to its divided America in the 1970s.Reply

- Barr has shrewdly recognized the political moment - her character, Roseanne Conner, is a Trump voter - but this new Roseanne is not an easy, cynical attempt to milk the original.Reply
