I was never a fan of the Rosanne show—when it came on the rerun channel, I always changed. Too much whining and yelling. So I didn’t watch the remake redux which has the media mavens all a twitter with hate and angst. 18.2 million viewers, a comedy with some poignant moments and it beat out Stormy (prostitute) interview in the numbers and rating game. From what I’ve heard on the filters, it shows family can disagree on politics and still love each other. Who knew?
“Most of the sparring is between Roseanne and younger sister Jackie (Laurie Metcalf), who shows up at the Conner home after an angry year-long estrangement wearing a pussy hat and sneeringly greets the family matriarch with, “What’s up, Deplorable?” By the book hilarity ensues.
“Aunt Jackie thinks every girl should grow up to be president,” Roseanne informs her granddaughter, in their most heated exchange, “even if they’re ‘Liar, liar, pantsuit on fire.”
“I think we know who’s a liar and who’s on fire, Roseanne,” counters Jackie.
Jackie doesn’t like it one bit when, before saying grace, her sister asks if she first wants to take a knee, and concludes the prayer by thanking the lord “for making America great again.””
