10 Things We've Learned About The 'Roseanne' Reboot From Newly Released Photos

We've all been a little bit anxious about the reboot of Roseanne, and for a fair reason. Reboots have gone badly in the past, and because we love this show so much we really need it to be great.

But now, after patiently waiting for many months, we finally have our first glimpse at what the show will look like. We have visual proof of what's changed, what's the same, and what can be expected from the new show.

ABC

The photos from the first episode show that the house is basically unchanged since the series ended the first time in 1997. You get to see basically the entire family back in their roles, including Dan (John Goodman) who technically died in the last episode. We will have to wait and see what happened with that when the episode airs, but it's nice to see him back!

The pictures tell the story pretty well, so let's take a look at what the new series has in store for us.

1. Dan and Roseanne are still in love

ABC

The couple are still in their same bed, although you can see the sleep apnea mask in Dan's hand, so obviously there have been a few snoring incidents.

2. Aunt Jackie looks really upset while wearing a 'Nasty Woman' t-shirt

ABC

The 'Nasty Woman' shirts are a Hilary Clinton reference, so it looks like this sitcom is about to get political.

3. Both Beckys are there

ABC

When Alicia Goranson left the show, Sarah Chalke stepped in to replace her. They wanted to have both Beckys in the series, so to make it happen they recast Chalke as  "a middle-class married woman named Andrea who hires Becky (Goranson) to serve as her surrogate."

4. Happy grandparents

ABC

There are a bunch of new Connors joining the family this time around.

5. Are Darlene and Jackie still best friends?

ABC

I sure hope so, because I don't know if I could handle it otherwise.

6. That wallpaper held up pretty well over the years

ABC

Family dinners are obviously still super important!

7. The couch and blanket are still going strong

ABC

You might think that some families would get a new couch after 20 years, but not the Connors.

8. Dan still has his man cave in the garage

ABC

And he's not alone out there, his daughter Darlene is hanging out with him.

ABC

9. All the important talks happen in the kitchen

ABC

The family is back together to give Darlene's daughter a grandparent talk.

10. But obviously the most important thing is that it's good to be back

ABC

Will you be tuning into the premiere?

Who else remembers planning their entire week based on when Beverly Hills: 90210 was going to be on TV? It wasn't like we could record it easily, blank VHS tapes were pricey, so we had to watch it when it was on or miss out. Watching Brenda, Kelly, Dylan, Brandon, Donna, and everyone else hand out and get into all kinds of mayhem was the highlight of our weeks. When it ended, we were all a bit sad, but then they brought it back with a new spin-off.  The new show tried to catch that same teen spirit, but

Nickelodeon wasn't just a television network, it was basically a generation. Kids all over the country were bonded in this weird little family, obsessing over shows that our parents just couldn't possibly understand. They were for us. They weren't made to appeal to our parents, they were made for our enjoyment and so we felt a special connection to them unlike any other shows. Nickelodeon is still going strong today, but it's hard to remember that there was a time before the iconic kids network came around. The company may be a juggernaut now, but how did it get started?

It's a song we all know off by heart no matter how old we are now because it was literally one of the most important parts of our days. Sesame Street was a staple in almost every household. Those Muppets were our teachers and our friends before we made our way into elementary school or daycare, and they gave us a lot of life lessons that taught us how to be a
