It's back! The classic sitcom featuring most of the old cast debuted with back to back episodes. It feels like it picked up where it left off. Except that for some reason we didn't get to see the last 23 or so years of what happened to the characters.
Same sense of humor, the one bit with Dan finding something in the garage fridge after looking everywhere for it was hilarious. The original series is one of my favorite TV shows of all time. I was not disappointed by the new series. So far, but hey you can't go wrong with Whitney Cummings, Norm MacDonald and Wanda Sykes writing your TV show.
The way they handled Dan being (canonically) dead but alive in the premiere was
hand waved in a circular way by saying it was just part of Roseanne's writing, since that was how him being alive for the final season but everything else being weird was handled. In the original series the last episode revealed the bizarre things that happened were Roseanne's writings that we saw. They came from her grieving Dan who dropped dead iirc at Darlene's wedding which I'm pretty sure was the previous season's finale. So idk what's even real anymore but I'm okay with it. :D
I don't want to spoil anything else but rest assured there's a lot of easter eggs for fans.
