Roseanne
A revival of the popular 1990s sitcom "Roseanne," which centered on the everyday life of an American working-class family.

Roseanne was groundbreaking for its era because it portrayed a working-class American family with raw honesty, humor, and heart. Unlike many sanitized sitcoms of the late '80s and '90s, it tackled real-life struggles—financial hardships, parenting challenges, and personal identity—with a mix of sarcasm and sincerity. While Roseanne Barr’s bold, unfiltered take on motherhood made the show iconic, Laurie Metcalf as Jackie was its true MVP—her impeccable comedic timing, physical humor, and ability to balance absurdity with emotional depth made her one of the best sitcom characters ever.
