Roseanne's show reflected what's going on in families around the country. Politics are divisive. Siblings are disagreeing. The episodes gave voice to people like you and me and helped us understand the perspective of the other side. So how about the cast and crew stay on the job? They could change the name of the show but keep all the great characters except Roseanne. Or should they keep her?
The cancellation of ABC’s Last Man Standing raised questions of the network’s comfort with Trump-supporting stars, especially as ABC pondered re-calibrating its audience post-election. Reviving Roseanne seemed like a way to gauge that, and network brass now assure “we’re going to be tackling some of the topics that are in the conversation today.”
Here’s a look at some notable birthdays being celebrated today:
