Both are in it, the original Becky is playing the daughter and the second one is playing another character
"Since the current reboot couldn't have two Becky Conners running around, they figured out an interesting way to solve the problem. While Goranson reprises her role as the original Becky, Chalke appears as an entirely new character named Andrea. The characters cross paths when Andrea, a married woman looking for a surrogate, hires Becky to carry her baby. The unique plot was a clever way to bring back both of the former Beckys to the series in an organic way."
I've actually been surprised. I thought it was going to be an overt appeal and dog whistle to Trump voters due to Roseanne's political affiliations lately. And while they touched on it in the first episode, they actually handled it in a really good way pitting Roseanne against Jackie and both made civilized appeals to why they voted how they did, why they were angry at each other, and how they found common ground. I was surprisingly uplifted by it.
Since then, they deal with social issues and find a way to actually get across both points of view with the Connor's taking a more conservative approach while the rest of the family seems to argue the other side. This might actually be the show America needs right now as it shows these two camps disagreeing on a lot of big issues, but then finding ways to still come together as a family and be there for each other when they need it. And it's still funny.

Never cared much for Roseanne back in the day, found it kinda trashy and lazy. Like a less grotesque Married with Children, which I also didn't like much.
@kc78 has me thinking about giving it a shot though. I enjoy politics and don't mind it wound into my sitcoms, sports, etc... so why not.

She's still somewhat trashy and lazy in the show, but there are some interesting ideas beneath the fluff. And I enjoy that I can watch it with my wife and she just laughs at the humor and I get to sit back and consider the morality play going on in front of me.
There already was a show on ABC like this and it got cancelled. "Last Man Standing" with Tim Allen. I like both shows. Still pissed the Tim Allen show was cancelled.
Did they bring Goodman back or leave him dead? I haven't watched since the original series ended oh so long ago.
They just pretended like that whole last season was a dream. They referenced it once or twice in the first episode.
Somehow, to my surprise, the original show and now the new show entertains me.
My now deceased mother and I used to watch the show when I was a kid. I tuned in to the new show and was not disappointed. I’ve watched every episode so far and gotten some good laughs and memories.
He was banned, but if you send out a food/entertainment tribe symbol a guy who knows him might respond.

Well that didn’t take long. Props to ABC for acting swiftly and without equivocation.
She certainly has been an instigator in the past, a little of a surprise to me they did it so fast, but this is the env we live in. Oh twitter, you have made life so much more interesting, even for those of us who don't have accounts.
You better get caught up fast, there seems to be a habit of whitewashing all the history of a show when one gets canceled like this.
ABC just cancelled the show....wow.
"Just hours after Roseanne Barr posted a racist tweet about former President Obama aide Valerie Jarrett, her wildly popular reboot of "Roseanne" was given the boot.
ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey said in a statement on Tuesday that the network would not be producing the show's second season.
"Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show," Dungey told Fox News."

You should add the word, "Again".
ABC needs to cancel a bunch more shows if that is the standard. Funny thing is if she said it on the show or during a stand-up routine it would be acceptable to say.
How many people lost their jobs due to the tweet? Rossanne was not the only one working that set.
I don't think I've ever seen a Roseanne episode. I think from her singing of the national anthem to this type of tweet pretty much says I made a good decision.
I'd be curious to hear the list as well. I don't follow celebs much outside of the large flareups.
I was thinking about that as well. Dozens lose their jobs due to a single tweet. She is the show so they can't do it without her. I would expect Goodman would stick with her and not allow them to remove her anyways. One of the Beckys was already quitting as well as Wanda Sykes. Barr / Goodman don't need to work again if they don't want to, but all the staff now has to hustle for the next gig, always the "little man" getting it in the shorts. Hope they get severance checks.
I would start with The View and the Jimmy Kimmel Show.
