During its nine-season run in the late '80s and early '90s, Roseanne was revolutionary in the way it portrayed a working class family, letting the struggles of the Conner family speak for the million of families out there watching who found themselves in the same boat. With many of those same issues still present, if not intensified, in 2018, the timing for the show's return couldn't be more perfect. Sure, the political posturings of the characters in the premiere episode may rub some people the wrong way, but at the end of the day, the same scrappy and wickedly sarcastic heart that made us fall in love with Roseanne Barr's creation in the first place is present and accounted for. Plus, any opportunity to watch Queen Laurie Metcalf do her thing is a win in our book.—BN
