The 'Roseanne' Revival Premiere Smashed Another TV Ratings Record

About 41 percent of readers polled feel the revival will be buoyed by the tremendous reception to last week's premiere, which drew 18.2 million viewers - nearly two million more than the audience that tuned in for its 1997 series finale - and led to a quick Season 11 renewal.

Deadline reports that Roseanne's Season 10 premiere got the largest-ever Live+3 increase ever recorded by Nielsen, with 6.59 million viewers watching the sitcom during the first three days after the premiere. And that doesn't even include the additional 4.3 million viewers who tuned into an encore telecast on Sunday night - or the growth it will see from Hulu and ABC streaming.

Donald Trump's shadow may have loomed large over the premier of ABC's reboot of Roseanne, but one of the show's stars says the debate about presidential politics was a one-time event.

What might have buoyed Roseanne's appeal, especially the follow-on viewers, was the subject matter. Not helping matters is Roseanne Barr's vocal support of Trump and her incendiary tweets that have included accusing Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg of giving a Nazi salute; she later deleted it.

Trump spoke with Barr over the phone to congratulate her on the show's success.

Roseanne opened with TV's biggest numbers for any comedy telecast on any night in more than four years with total viewers and in 3½ years with adults 18-49 - since Fox's Super Bowl-led New Girl on February 2, 2014 and CBS' Big Bang season opener on September 22, 2014, respectively.

"It's really about what happens to a family when there's a political divide, which is something that I think the entire country can relate to and something we need to talk about", Gilbert said.
