There were several big sitcoms in the ’90s and Roseanne is the biggest one of them all. I am not referring to the show’s stars’ weight, who are not fat anymore. I am talking about the show’s success. It still runs in syndication on several networks and it is still adored by fans all over the World.
Today’s news is going to make those fan very happy because Deadline is reporting that the legendary comedy is being shopped around for an 8-epsiode season with Roseanne Barr, John Goodman and Sara Gilbert reprising their iconic roles. Also it looks like Laurie Metcalfe and her Big Bang Theory co-star Johnny Galecki will be joining them. No word which Becky will be doing the show and if her character will be back. We do know that original Mark will not be part of it because Glenn Quinn passed away in 2002.
No word what the plot of the show will be or how they will bring Dan back, but I do know we want our Connors back. I am glad that they found away to bring Goodman back because he is the rock of the family that keeps them all in line. Just don’t tell Roseanne.
Where will the 8-episodes air? That is still to be determine. Deadline says that ABC, who originally aired the show, is definitely interested. So is Netflix, home of the Revivals, along with several other places that have shown their desire to air the influential program that changed the landscape of TV.
I love the age of revivals because it has given us more episodes of our favorite shows like Arrested Development, The X-Files, Gilmore Girls, Boy Meets World, Full House, Raven, Twin Peaks, Will & Grace and now Roseanne. Now, if only we can get them to revive Dinoasaurs, I would be the happiest baby!
Roseanne and Joe Jonas, who was there with DNCE, were on The Late Late Show with James Corden yesterday and they took this photo. I have no idea what I have been smoking today, but I totally find this picture like so trippy. Can you dig it?
Roseanne Barr posted a photo of herself looking like someone roughed up her face. So what happened to her? The actress got a chemical peel and that is how she looked when her face was peeled off. Let’s just say she looked better in She’s Devil.
Things I have learned from this picture? Never ever get a chemical peel.
NBC is bringing back Last Comic Standing on May 22nd and they are changing things up on the reality game show this seaosn. This time around JB Smoove is hosting the show that has previously been hosted by Jay Mohr and Craig Robinson. If The Millers star isn’t a big enough reason for you to watch, then hearing that Roseanne, Keenen Ivory Wayans and Russell Peters are judging the competition will make you want to tune in.
At the beginning of the 13 week show, we will watch 100 comedians get narrowed down to 10. Once we get to the Top Ten, then NBC says, “In this phase, they will compete in different comedy disciplines, such as sketch, improv and stand-up, proving themselves both individually and in teams.”
As someone who has watched and loved every season of Last Comic Standing, I am so thrilled that it is not only back, but it is returning with this awesome lineup of comedians. You know, Roseanne is going to be bringing the interesting.
The big news to come out of the Comedy Central Roast for Roseanne was that her ex-husband, who she hadn’t seen in person for 18 years, came out to honor her in a way that you can only do so at a roast. But it was not an easy task to make happen, and yesterday on Jimmy Kimmel Live he explained how the exes made it work. Even though his people said no to the offer at first, the producers of the Roast called him days before it to have him be part of the show. They had different ways they were going to incorporate him into it and it wasn’t until the third try and call from Roseanne on a Friday night that his wife, his publicist and him agreed to do it. Once they both said yes, he then had to call his lawyers to see if he could legally be within 50 feet of her.
Now that he has been legally cleared to do the show, he had a condition for Roseanne per his publicist. She at first balks at the idea, but then she comes to agreement that his publicist is OK with and it is a done deal.
Now it showtime and he tells how he was able to keep appearance a secret from everyone including a lot of the people who work for Comedy Central that were there. He goes up and does his schtick and as soon as it was done he ran off the stage. Roseanne followed him during the commercial break and said some nice things to him. So Kimmel asked him if they made love and he says no. Am I the only hoping that the two of them reconcile because they were so good together in a bad way?
BTW I just loved his tale on how it all went down that I had to share it with you. Well that and he completely won over for being such a gentleman at the Roast!
