ROSEANNE Reboot Gets Official Premiere Date

Fans of the 1990s sitcom Roseanne have reason to rejoice as the reboot of the series has an official premiere date!

March 27 will be the day Roseanne Barr and her original castmates (John Goodman, Sara Gilbert, Laurie Metcalf, Johnny Galecki, Michael Fishman, Lecy Goranson, and Sarah Chalke) will return along with that famous couch.

An official synopsis of the upcoming season reads:

“Will explore life, death and everything in between through the relatable, hilarious and brutally honest lens of the Conner household. With the inimitable Roseanne at its epicenter, fresh stories that tackle today’s issues and even more laughs from a brilliant cast and crew that haven’t missed a beat, audiences old and new will celebrate the homecoming of America’s favorite working-class family.”

Additionally, Estelle Parson and Sandra Bernhard, who both portrayed lesbian characters during the series’ original run, will be returning as well.

There’s more LGBT interest in the return as it has been previously announced that “Darlene,” played by out gay actress Sarah Gilbert, will have a “gender-creative” child named Mark.

The announcement came via Twitter with a short graphic which read, “Same couch, same cast, same laugh.”

Sara Gilbert “Comes Out” To Former TV Dad John Goodman In Classic ROSEANNE Roles

How an image can take you back 20 years in the span of a second.

Two decades after the 90s hit sitcom, Roseanne, signed off, two of the shows stars teamed up for a sweet one minute reunion this week.

John Goodman stopped by The Talk this week to promote his new movie, Kong: Skull Island. And clearly the temptation was too great to not take a trip in the “way back machine” with former TV daughter Sara Gilbert, now a host on the afternoon gabfest.

The scene opens with “Dan Conner” (Goodman) on the couch with daughter “Darlene” (Gilbert) watching a football game.

Gilbert: “So, uh, there’s something I’ve been wanting to talk to you about for a while now. I don’t know how to say this—I’m a talk show host.”

Goodman: “Well, as long as you’re happy, you know, me and your mom will support you. You know, for a minute there I thought you were going to tell me you were gay.”

Gilbert: “Let’s save something for halftime.” (sly smile)

And the crowd goes wild.

Of course, the fun here is that Gilbert came out publicly in 2010.
