Can't believe it's happening. Easily my favorite show of all time and now it's coming back for 8 episodes.

I always enjoyed the show but Im curious as to who/whom will be on it. If Im not mistaken Dan died so John Goodman wouldnt be there. Neither of the Healey brothers would be there as Glenn Quinn died and Johnny Galecki is on Big Bang Theory (CBS). Also curious as to what the contract situation would be for Laurie Metcalf as she's also semi regular on Big Bang Theory.

It'd be best if they pretend the last few seasons didn't happen...or wait, they did when Roseanne herself killed her own show by retconning the entire series in the final episode.

The frustrating thing of that was that killing off Dan and making the ridiculous final season all her grief stricken wish fulfillment made some sense. Then she started changing things that had been true for half the show or more and messed it all up. Roseanne said in 2009 that it turned out Dan faked his death. But I don't know if they'll do that, just explain that none of that last bit was true, or ignore it all together. Also, All of the family has been announced to return, and they'll even have both Beckys, though Sarah Chalke will be a different character. I'm hoping they can get Galecki, but with spam renewed for two more seasons, I'm sure he'll be busy. Either way, I'm super excited for this. Almost as much as this week's return of Twin Peaks.

I assume the final two seasons will just be forgotten about. as someone old enough to have watched that go down, a truly wtf in tv history.

Like why change the fact that Darlene ended up with Mark and Becky ends up with David, make Jackie a lesbian, have Dan deadthe entire time following the heartattack? I love this show to no end with the exception of the final few seasons. Such a cluster .

I'm assuming the last season will just be overlooked, meaning no dead Dan, no winning the lotto, no fighting communists on a train, etc. Not everything needs to be explained and I really doubt people would complain if the show just carried on like none of that ever happened. I wouldn't be surprised if Galecki has a role since the show is only going to have eight episodes.

I can see them doing these new episodes as an alternate reality, omitting the last few seasons, or at least making a couple one-off joke's about them

Love watching the original episodes. No idea what stories there are left to tell since the final episode really threw a wrench into what was reality and what was fiction.

Darlene and David (or was it really Mark?) named their daughter Harris Conner Healy after the matriarchs of the family. Or maybe that was just what Roseanne wanted Darlene to name her. Anyway, I believe I read somewhere the grandkids would start a band or something...? May only have been some throwaway comment from her.

I love this show to no end with the exception of the final few seasons. Such a cluster . I agree, the Dan part made some sense, as it only affected the last season, which was insane anyway. But I'll never understand the rest. Also, what made the opposite relationships better? I'm pretty sure the ending was supposed to make fun of crazy show endings, but it really missed the mark. And in general I like the last two seasons. They're not as good as the others, obviously, but I still had fun with them. I don't really remember a ton, but it was nice seeing Jim Varney get to be something other than Ernest, and I love the AbFab Halloween episode.

As long as this goofy mother er shows up in some capacity. Always loved Dwight and wish they never wrote him out of the show.

They'll just have Roseann wake up from a nap or something, and it will show the last 2 seasons didn't happen.

I loved Roseanne back in the day, it was a show my whole family would watch together, but I the way the series ended left a real sour taste in my mouth. I ing hated it! To me it is one of the worst endings to a series that I have ever seen. As a result I actually am finding it hard to be excited for this, still I will give it a chance, but my expectations are not exactly high..... ugh that ending lol
