Will a Roseanne reboot centered on Sara Gilbert and her kids succeed?

Sorry ABC, won't work.

Roseanne herself was awkward/forced and it made me sad to see how bad her acting is now when I really enjoyed her on the first run of the show. And the actress that plays Becky is really terrible.

I hope they can make a spinoff work.

Roseanne became forced and awkward the last couple seasons of the original. I never could figure out why her acting style changed.

I love Laurie Metcalf, and I think Sarah Gilbert is great. I totally think they could reboot the show without Roseanne. I hope they give it a try.

No, the show was bad anyway.

+1. Dan and jackie were way better actors. Let’s see how it goes.

Just kill off Roseanne and the show can continue.

or maybe have her arrested after she attended a White Nationalist Party and assaults someone

That's kind of a brilliant idea. Let her be a victim of the opiod crisis. Let her go to Mexico for her knee surgery and die under anesthesia. They could make it relatable and poignant.

That is perfect.

John Goodman says he's interested.

My two cents: Gilbert isn't a talented actress, nor is her character particularly interesting.

I agree. She's always very "flat."

It’s Ok to cancel shows because conservatives run them. There’s no need to validate that.

Example of an idiot. ^^^

Dan and Laurie are the best actors on the show probably because they kept constantly acting after Roseanne ended the first time. Roseanne didn’t do too much acting after that I remember. I know she had a reality show that I remember watching a few times. Sara is good on her fake View talk show. She can really only play one character that I’ve seen. Even her character on The Big Bang Theory was Darlene-esque.

The others were just bad and cringeworthy this time around.

Michael fishman is the worst one. I don't think I have ever seen such terrible acting before.

How about they either a.)Kill Roseanne off, b.)Send her to a mental institution for life or c.)Have her leave Dan + marry her Italian lover in his native country, then have Dan re-marry and ABC brings in a new or another comedian to the family/show.
He + Jackie will have larger roles, but the comedian will have the main character & they can even use her name as the show’s new moniker.

Dan should marry Jackie. They had one episode in the old Roseanne that talks about how Jackie had a crush on him when they were young.

Link.

Don't rely on the Daily Mail. It's such a rag that Wikipedia won't accept it as a cited source when people create Wkipedia articles. I'm amazed how it has gotten a lot of Americans turning to it as "news" when in Britain (where it's based) it's considered just a gossip sheet.

Definitely a gossip sheet, but their pics reveal a lot. That picture of Roseanne sitting on a door stoop and smoking is probably a good predictor of her future. Just add 10 - 15 years to that pic.

Roseanne dies from her opiod addiction and Roseanne's mom moves in with Dan to 'help' with the house. Jackie, Crystal, and some of the older characters become more prominent. I think it could work.
