bandrus1 413 Posted March 28, 2018 Didn't really like it. Roseanne seemed off on her timing for most of her jokes. Sick of politics in EVERYTHING.....Really gets old..Regardless of which side is trying to be spun(even though Roseanne spun both sides) I mean can we have anything anymore that doesn't have politics meshed into it? Sports, movies, TV....where do you go for a break from all of that. Oh and let's see. Their son has a black daughter, their one daughter has what--2 kids out of wedlock and is a lesbian....and NOW Dan is peeved cause Becky wants to have a surrogate? NOW he puts his foot down. That whole premise felt forced and idiotic. Laughed at a few of the jokes, thought they were OK. Most fell flat. Don't think it was a laugh track, said filmed in front of a live studio audience, which these days could be a little worse. So probably not gonna tune in for any future shows, or maybe if it's on I might catch it but not gonna DVR it. Do like the return of will and grace though. If you know the show a lot of this story line makes sence with the back storyline Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mungwater 588 Posted March 28, 2018 Pretty sure it's a live audience for this one. The wife and I really enjoyed it, thought it was well done for what it is. The nostalgia of the whole thing was great. Theres no way an audience laughed at that. That was a post production laugh track Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
posty 2,296 Posted March 28, 2018 Jesus, had more of a laugh track than Big Bang theory and 2.5 men combined. What a shitshow When you film in front of a live audience, you have to have a laugh track especially when you use different takes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iam90sbaby 2,121 Posted March 28, 2018 Theres no way an audience laughed at that. That was a post production laugh track I read a few years ago that the laugh track you hear on sitcoms is the same one they've been using for 50-60 years. Don't know how true it is but I thought it was interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bier Meister 1,512 Posted March 28, 2018 just watched it. give it a 6/10. thought acting by rossanne and jackie was terrible. rest of cast was fine. john goodman saves it. edit: grown up sarah chalke is yummie. scrubs and on.... very nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,631 Posted March 28, 2018 The black kid really sort of sticks out Dunn she? There was one joke that was funny, can't even remember what it was though. Agreed on the acting. I mean it's a sitcom for chrissake not a fellow. And still, Roseanne God she just can't act. Everything just seemed incredibly forced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mookz 1,287 Posted March 28, 2018 As I was researching yesterday, I was surprised to find that original Becky has actually caught and surpassed new Becky in hotness.

vuduchile 1,940 Posted March 28, 2018 I thought this might be a good show to watch with the whole family. After reading the reviews and some of the opinions here, I have my doubts. The cross dressing kid, the lesbo mom, the laugh track and the Trump vs Hillary crap are more than enough reasons for me to pass it by. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wait.... you mean the show that featured one of the first gay weddings..... lesbian kisses..... had episodes about interracial relationships in the 90's may have episodes dealing with similar issues in today's environment?

SenatorRock 708 Posted March 28, 2018 More people watched Roseanne than Stormy on 60 Minutes. Highest ratings for a comedy since the season premiere Big Bang Theory episode in 2014. Did not expect that. http://ew.com/tv/2018/03/28/roseanne-ratings/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,631 Posted March 29, 2018 I think the real key here will be the drop off or lack thereof. Yeah, everyone to TuneIn because it was seriously hyped and everyone to see what everyone look like and how it would go. Now that we're past that, will be very interesting to see where the numbers end up going forward. Most of the reviews I've read have really said the same thing about it being more about Nostalgia than actual quality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did flip around the news channels last night, Fox spent a lot of time praising it. Huckabee was on with McCallum, all boned up about it. Ingraham opened her show with it, went on and on, conservative values, the passion of the christ was huge, this is what America wants, Hollywood should listen. Will be interesting to see how the ratings roll out the rest of the season, and if Huckabee is on board when the transgender make out session happens.
