Guess I'm the only one watching live. I'll save my comments until after others have watched.

I love that they went for it immediately in regards to the family drama with Trump - Hillary supporters.

I wish I had liked it. I switched to reruns halfway through. I will prob try it again next week to give it the benefit of the doubt.

I felt like they tried to cram so many "issues" into 1 episode.. I'll give it another episode or 2 to decide.

I wasn't able to watch it straight through because I was dealing with children off and on, but I found it super annoying. They breezed past the family stuff which is what I cared about. Why was Darlene back home? Did she and David divorce? What is she doing with herself? Is she still passionate about the arts? Agreed with wickedcandy that they tried to force way too many "issues" in one episode. It was ridiculous. As far as the Trump stuff for the most part I turn to entertainment to have a break from that crap. I can handle a little, but it was too much. Especially since they didn't really address any real issues with it like how Roseanne can be some big Trump supporter when she has a black granddaughter and apparently it doesn't bother her that she supports a racist. If you're going to try to get real with what's going on in the world don't skate past the actual issues and make it just a haha joke to support Trump because you have the privilege to do so. Also I did not find the missing loaded gun in the house funny at all.

On the radio today, they said to give it at least 3 episodes so they can finish a story line to set everything up. inthekitty Johnny Galecki will be making an appearance for at least 1 episode to explain things, apparently.

tgrimes, I saw a clip from it. It looked like he was in her room, possibly having climbed through the window? And he looked... dirty? Like maybe they are setting it up that he went down a bad path and is doing drugs or something? I'm not sure. Overall I liked it though, it seemed to have the same feel as the old episodes. I actually liked how they addressed the election and how it divided the family. inthekitty, they said Darlene is raising the kids alone, and she moved back home b/c she got fired, although she is telling everyone it is to take care of her aging parents. They did not address what happened to David, although as tgrimes said, it appears they will. They mentioned the fact that she is "artsy" but that's really it.

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around how the old Roseanne could morph into this new Roseanne and be a Trump supporter? It just seems so contradictory. However, the show doesn't seem to have a pro-Trump theme so I'm going to give it a chance and keep watching.
I still love Darlene, and I still find both Becky's annoying. Jackie walking in with her pussy hat and Nasty Woman shirt was pretty great.

I'm confused about the age of Darlene's daughter. She was pregnant the last season, so the daughter should be 19/20 and yet she's in high school?

And they had another baby they don't plan on mentioning besides "he's on a boat" And Becky is a 43 year old surrogate who's never had a baby of her own. I think we're supposed to just go with it..

In the last episode, it also said that Becky was actually with David and Darlene was with Mark.

We just watched. I'll give it another shot or two. They had some funny jokes and I like the authentic feel of it. I'm hoping that is the last time they bring up politics, the division hit too close to home for me, although I thought it was reasonable to expect that a working class family like the Conners would care more about jobs and industry and vote that way, even while being understanding of some social issues.
I hate that she is a trump supporter irl though.
ETA I thought a lot of the acting (even the original cast) was TERRIBLE

I don't ever think it was good though. 80s-90s tv actors were not the best

I thought Jackie was a hoot in the premiere. Especially when 2nd Becky visited. But other than that, I barely laughed and I love comedies. I feel like all these reboots from the past are trying too hard to stay relevant.
