Did not watch much of Roseanne myself back then. Who watched Roseanne regularly? What are your thoughts on its revival?

I think it beats the hell out of Two broke Girls which was just one long blowjob joke.

I didn’t watch it in its heyday, it will be good or a flop, who knows? There is a lot of fun content out there, hard to watch a show anymore with lots of commercials. Good luck to them, I can’t imagine milennials diving in.

We watched tonight. It was outstanding.

I am so adjective that I verb nouns!
I never much liked the character Rosanne, or Rosanne Barr, or the other characters on the show apart from the sympathetic John Goodman character. The review you linked to was interesting. I doubt it will resolve any of the Left's TDS, or encourage alienated family members to put aside political differences, but there's always hope...
The dogma lives loudly within me.

Perhaps it will serve to humanize the deplorables.

Ditto.

And the fact that both her character on the show and her in real life are a Trump supporter doesn't sway me.

I still don't like either. They're like nails on a chalkboard to me.
Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments
and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism.

We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences.

Yup

So she will be portrayed as the typical deplorable
The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

The Echo Chamber™ is practically soiling itself over the success of the Roseanne reboot (and, like some, I couldn't stand her then).

But, this is freaking television! Does anyone think that she *really* thinks what her character says? Isn't this just Hollyweird manipulating us to get ratings and ad revenue.

Of course it is. Just like Will and Grace which is just the other side's Roseanne.

(I like both shows...)

Debatable.

Last Man Standing still had decent ratings when cancelled, due to what most believe was the show's conservative leaning main character.
