I thought his character died on the original run? My wife and I actually watched Roseanne on its first run, but lost interest by the last few seasons. I believe they had a season in which the family won the lottery, but in the season finale, didn't we learn that the last season was a dream, and that Dan had died?
This was accommodated in the opening scene with Dan wearing a CPAP mask and Roseanne screeching, "I thought you were dead!"
A bit of rusty acting, with Darlene (Sara Gilbert) the standout exception. Otherwise, the show was as entertaining as ever while addressing family values of the working class.
The cross-dresser boy character is quirky, but the boy is otherwise happily adorable. The story line was true to the series premise with the family struggling through their opinions and emotions. Sweet moment when Dan hugged his grandson.
Will continue to follow the series.
I thought comedies were supposed to be funny.
Haven’t watched a sitcom since Happy Days.
