https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/tv-ratings-roseanne-revival-skyrockets-with-stunning-premiere/ar-BBKP9fQ?ocid=spartandhp

Roseanne returned Tuesday. The ABC sitcom, away from the air for two decades, kicked off its revived run with especially promising returns dominating every other Big Four telecast of the night.

The first two episodes of Roseanne, a full hour at the top of the ABC lineup, won the night by both adults 18-49 and total viewers. The show averaged a 5.1 rating in the key demo and 18.1 million viewers, rising from the first half hour to the next. The first number alone is easily enough to make Roseanne the highest-rated regularly-scheduled scripted show of the last few seasons, as well as the highest-rated sitcom in recent memory.

Roseanne is entertaining and tackling social issues in much more clever and meaningful way than the SJW garbage spewed out by Hollywood.

Which is ridiculous but in many ways it was a Roseanne reunion in itself! David, Darlene, and Jackie were all in the early episodes.

Since Sara Gilbert originally proposed the idea and is a producer, I hardly think it's going to be a "liberal bashing show."

Yep, it's insane. I don't blame the guy though, not everybody really understands how TV ratings work.

Edit: Now I don't know if he was being sarcastic or saying it matter-of-factly. >_>

Lol, don't pretend that you don't love it when Jimmy Kimmel tells everyone what to think about gun control or when Fuller House shoehorned in some anti-Trump quips. But now that a show is little more balanced and doesn't try to portray Trump supporters as evil racists you can't handle it.

I was iffy going into the first episode but I could go for a full revival now.

Girl meets world was stupid. Fuller House was stupid. Most of the other reboots which started recently have been stupid. So I was ready to be disappointed by Roseanne, but...it's actually not bad. It feels like more of a natural continuation than the plots would suggest.

This, lmfao at antifar trying to peddle this bullshit

On topic: its not as conservative heavy as youd think. Alot of people behind it are pretty progressive. Its just not as blatant as Last Man Standing was

The show was never funny to me. I always felt like it had a very depressing atmosphere. Something about an overweight mom with an irritating voice who liked to yell at her kids all the time and bitch about everything that just wasn't funny to me.

To be fair, a large chunk of that could be due to nostalgia.

I don't think it will take long for that to wear off and the ratings to drop pretty drastically.

I think they went a little heavy on some of the political stuff at times but not to the point that it hurt the show. It still seemed very much like the original to me, and it really came across like the cast were enjoying themselves. Given all the crap that's on TV right now, I'm definitely going to keep watching.

Never found the original funny and had zero interest in the revival, regardless of the political affiliation. And I'll likely never watch it.

That said, pulling that number without any lead in show is pretty good. We'll see how big of a drop off it'll have, but in an era when networks are desperate for anything to get ratings, I'm sure it'll get another full season if it can hold on. Which sucks in general because most reboots are trash and this is just going to give more motivation for them, but whatever.

I honestly think that anyone who had that type of female authority figure in their life growing up (a mom, grandma, aunt, etc) who was like Roseann's character probably hated that show because there was nothing funny about that type of toxic person.

Truthfully the context of both shows are different. Roseanne was presenting itself as a typical family sitcom but without the full house level cringe. Married with Children was more of an adult comedy.

Lol comparing Roseanne and Married with Children is dumb. Roseanne is presented as a comedy with a relatable family and realistic situations. Married with Children is a whacky comedy with exaggerated characters that isn't realistic in the least

MwC was more slapstick comedy and didn't try to represent a real family past the 1st season.

It's clearly a liberal show with how they're having the kid dress like a girl. Yet it doesn't present the conservatives as angry heartless bastards like everything else out there. The conservatives are just worried about how the kid will be treated by his classmates and don't want him to make his life even harder than it would already be.

It's funny you say that, my mom was always referred to as 'Roseanne' when I was growing up by family friends because of the way our household was - very blue collar and everybody in the family taking jabs at one another. I loved my childhood.
