It’s been 20 years since the Conner family has been a part of our lives, and now the beloved cast of “Roseanne” characters are back for a show revival.
“It’s pretty amazing,” Roseanne Barr said. “It’s very exciting and it’s emotionally overwhelming.”
“Roseanne,” which centered around a blue-collar working family living outside of Chicago, became a smash hit for tackling sensitive issues, including racial bias, sexuality, and bullying, with humor and love. The original ABC TV series ran from 1988 to 1997, and the reboot will begin airing on March 27.
“20/20” sat down with members of the original cast, who shared fond memories of their time on the original show. Watch their full interviews on the special edition of “20/20,” “Roseanne: The Return,” airing on Thursday, Feb. 15 at 10 p.m. ET.
Sara Gilbert, who plays Darlene Conner, the middle Conner child, on the series is also an executive producer on the “Roseanne” reboot. Since she and Lecy Goranson who played her sister Becky Conner on the show, where actually around the same age, Gilbert said they used to play together on-set.
“Lecy and I spent more time together because we were in school together,” Gilbert said. “I remember early on… the electricians and stuff had a bunch of tape on the set, and we would take those, and ball up the tape into… a soccer ball, or make an eight ball, that you played pool with. Then, finally, production had to talk to us, and say, ‘You guys are using way too much tape.’”
“Or we would steal the golf carts, and drive around the lot. We were kids, so we would do little things like that,” she added.
