It seems like the ABC is really liking the episodes that the Roseanne revival is putting out because they ordered an additional episode before it even has a premiere date. According to
TV Line that brings the total to 9…and hopefully counting.
I was kind of nervous that the revival would stink, but it seems like that is not the case. Which is a good thing because the first go around of the show is still as relevant and as enjoyable today as it was then.
My prediction is Roseanne will air at 8:30p on Tuesdays with Fresh Off the Boat moving to 9:30p. ABC would be stupid to move The Middle or put the show up against This Is Us. Their other comedy night is solid, so this seems to be the only option. I think. Anything can happen.
BTW this is not the only show to get an additional episode order. ABC ordered 3 more episodes of Kevin (Probably) Saves the World. When it comes to The Mayor, they only asked for 3 additional scripts. Not a good sign for the freshman comedy that needs something I cannot put a finger on.
