"Roseanne" Revival Gets Premiere Date, Punches You In The Nostalgia

When it was announced that Roseanne was getting a revival, we had a lot of questions. Who will be in it? How will they deal with Dan Conner's death? Or the two Beckys? Will Johnny Galecky be back? And most importantly...when will it air?

We got answers to basically all of those questions.

ABC

Luckily, we found out that the entire main cast would be returning, which frankly is the only way it should be. Similar to Fuller House, the Roseanne revival is going to be a "where are they now" type series.

As for Dan? Well, let's just say ABC President Channing Dungey isn't concerned.

New York Daily News

"I don’t want to talk too specifically, but I wouldn’t say we’ll ignore the events of the finale," Dungey says. "Dan is definitely still alive."

Sarah Chalke, aka Second Becky, will also be returning to the show. She'll play the part of Andrea, a middle-class woman who hires Becky to be her surrogate.

"I was so excited to hear that it was coming back. I think the timing is perfect," Chalke told  Entertainment Weekly. "I think it’s exactly what is needed right now. Right now when the country is so divided, I really think it’s a show that brings people together. The writing is so unbelievable. It's so funny."

We also found out that Johnny Galecki will be reprising his role as David Healy, despite being on rival network CBS. Galecki played Darlene Conner's (Sara Gilbert) longtime boyfriend-turned-husband, which Galecki's show The Big Bang Theory poked fun at when Gilbert guest starred as a love interest for his character.

Galecki put everyone's speculation to rest when he posted a picture of the Roseanne table read on his Instagram page.

The only thing left to find out is when the show airs...and now we finally have an answer.

In case you needed another punch to your nostalgia, the Roseanne reboot will air in the same time slot the final two and a half seasons was in. The nine-episode installment will air starting March 27th with an hour-long episode from 8-9pm. It will occupy the 8pm time slot for its entire run.

"We want everybody to see something that doesn’t really exist on TV anymore - an honest family," the show's executive producer, Bruce Helford, said. "These people are very much the core of what’s going on in the country right now."

The photos from the set look amazing, and we can't wait to see the final product!

Gaming in the 80's

For those that experienced the 80’s, its hard to forget the fond memories of being able to wear bright neon clothes, making mix tapes and working out with Jane Fonda.

However, one aspect of the 80’s that was most iconic was the culture of gaming. With the likes of

Watching Die Hard is like watching a little piece of history. It truly has remained one of the greatest movies of all time no matter how much time passes. Maybe we didn't know how special it was when we first saw it, but as the decades go on, it has become clear that it's a true classic that is basically required viewing for every single person. Everyone obviously thinks of Bruce Willis when they think about Die Hard, which makes sense because he embodies John McClane in a way that makes him feel real, but he's not the only iconic

10 Movies That Completely Terrified You As A Kid, And Probably Still Do

I know there were a lot of classic horror movies that came out when we were young, but you know what else there were? A whole bunch of movies disguised as these feel-good children's movies or cartoons that were safe for kids that ended up scarring us for life. A lot of movies out there that had these sequences in them that haunted our nightmares, crossing our minds when we were trying to go to bed. Then there were others that gave us a grim realistic view of the mortality of us all, and let me tell you, we weren't

NFL in the 90s. The Golden Years of FootballIf you can cast your mind back to what the NFL was like in the 90’s, you can perhaps remember some of the great teams and players of the time, not to mention some of the important milestones as well. Maybe you remember the Dallas Cowboys winning three Super Bowls in four years or when the Denver Broncos won a perfect season in 1998. Of course, there are plenty of memorable player moments too.

Brace Yourself: The Backstreet Boys Released A New Song And Are Going On A World Tour

The Backstreet Boys have been one of the biggest bands in the country, well, the world for several decades now. After getting their start in the early 90s, they've managed to be one of the very few bands that has stuck together and continued performing. They didn't need a big reunion, because they didn't break up. Well, let's just pretend like that whole Kevin fiasco didn't happen. But anyways, they've been putting out music and performing together for 25 years now, and they have no intention of stopping. To be fair, they did warn of this two decades ago. They
