We might know what John Goodman and Johnny Galecki have been up to, but what about D.J. Conner (Michael Fishman) or Becky 1 (Lecy Goranson)!?

On the morning show Monday, Barr said that the reboot "just happened" organically after Goodman appeared on Gilbert's The Talk a year ago.

"I doubt that will happen", said actress/producer, Sara Gilbert, while the show's co-producer/writer, Whitney Cummings, said she'd flat-out "send him to voicemail".

"For some reason I thought I read something years ago that Roseanne said she didn't want to touch the original so I had assumed for all these years there was no way to do it", Gilbert said.

Barr added, "Everybody was in and so then it went from a special to a series and we had a deal in three weeks".

But I do think that expecting people to completely understand the ways that their data can be used is somewhat unreasonable. Authorities in both the US and the United Kingdom are investigating both Facebook and Cambridge Analytica.

Brazil are better but will still miss Neymar, says Sane
For Tite, Brazil's national team coach, the crushing defeat at the Mineirao stadium in Sao Jose in eastern Brazil still stings. It was the ultimate sign of overreliance on one player and Jogi Lowe's side could smell blood right there and then.

The slate of appearances came days after Roseanne made headlines with a strong show of support for President Donald Trump as she appeared on the Thursday show of one of Trump's peskiest detractors, Jimmy Kimmel. That story arc may as well be ripped from real life, because the real Roseanne, too, voted for Trump. With a big smile she proclaims, "I was just overwhelmed".

"I think you accused her of being a murderer on Twitter", he said, with the actress responding, "I did not!"

Though Barr said she usually had no trouble keeping a straight face around her costars, the actress recounted two times she did break character - and laughed so hard she wet her trousers.

Barr bit back: "I deleted it, so fuck you". You want Pence? You want Pence for the freaking president? Barr goaded Kimmel. When Kimmel responded, "No", Barr quipped: "Well, then, zip that fucking lip".

Roseanne returns to the air tonight at 8 p.m. on ABC.
