Roseanne returns on Tuesday night for a 10th season no one could have predicted. Having vanished in 1997 with, among other things, the death of John Goodman’s Dan Conner, the new Roseanne opens with the whole Conner clan miraculously intact as the show picks up 21 years later. The series doesn’t just acknowledge the time that has passed — it makes it central to the drama that always tinged this show’s comedy. In 2016, we are told, Roseanne Conner voted for Donald Trump, and her sister, Jackie (Laurie Metcalf), voted for — well, someone else. ...

WOW! It won the night HUGELY.
I know. I just saw second highest TV show (besides Super Bowl and This is Us (after the Super Bowl). That is amazing and well deserved. Thanks for the post.......So happy for Rosanne due to all the crap she gets for being a Trump Supporter.
The original Becky came back for the last two seasons, replacing her replacement. I think Gorenson took her time off to go to college.
I lost track of the show and only watched here and there.
I was surprised when Sara Gilbert showed up Big Bang Theory as Johnny Galecki’s love interest in the first couple of seasons. Johnny played Sara’s bf on Roseanne. Small world.
The girl who played Jim Parsons sister on BBT was on Two And A Half Men the last couple of seasons Charlie Sheen was there.
Charlie later made a cameo on BBT.
I’ll be interested to know if Roseanne can stay relevant with the political scene the way it is.
Courtney Henggeler played Missy Cooper, Sheldon’s twin sister on TBBT. Her IMDB resume does no show her as appearing in Two and a Half.
I bet you mean Laurie Metcalf, who plays Sheldon’s mother.
I may be wrong.
The girl on 2 1/2 Men was a ringer for Courtney H. I may have assumed it was the same person.
I knew Laurie M had played Jackie and Mrs Cooper. She has had some good spots on BBT.
I checked, Jennifer Taylor played Chelsea on 2 1/2 Men.
I must be losing my mind.
Thanks for the assist. :-P
Jennifer Taylor played Chelsea, Charlie’s intended. Taylor is quite a bit older than Heneggler, but they do look a lot alike. And they’re HAWT, as one might expect.
My wife and I watch the two-show season opener last night.
The politics were cliche.
Like her show before, it was VERY funny.
I looked at their pictures and they do resemble each other. Just enough to throw me off.
Hot??
You can hear the sizzle in the other room!
If you remember Archie became the most endearing character on the show.
How’d they lose their lottery money?
She also did a movie about a psycho friend of a teenager. The psycho tries to replace her mother, even killing her and trying to seduce her father. Sara kills the psycho, I think.
I think that was Poison Ivey. It had Tom Skerritt, Cheryl Ladd and Drew Barrymore as the bad girl.
Back in 1992.
I never watched but my wife wore it out.
I guess we have different perspectives... I thought Edith was the most endearing, by far...
They did try to redeem Archie, near the end. Probably at his request. But, for the bulk of the show, he was portrayed as a low-IQ bigot.
I saw it once. Good performance by everyone, well-executed script, even though psycho-kid flicks have been done to death.
