The premiere of the revival of “Roseanne” keeps getting bigger for ABC.

According to Nielsen data, the show scored the biggest total viewer lift for any telecast on any network after three days of delayed viewing. In Live+3, “Roseanne” added 6.6 million viewers, beating the previous record of 5.9 million held by the series premiere of fellow ABC show “How to Get Away With Murder.” That brings “Roseanne’s” total haul after three days to 25 million viewers.

In addition, the premiere also added 2.1 ratings points in adults 18-49 in Live+3, rising to a staggering 7.3 rating in that measure. That is the best lift for any comedy premiere and the best increase for a broadcast comedy since “Big Bang Theory’s” Dec. 17, 2015 telecast.

ABC opted to renew the revival of “Roseanne” for another season just three days after it premiered last week.  The show returned to TV 21 years after ending its initial nine-season run on ABC with a 5.2 rating and 18.4 million viewers in Live+Same Day.

  1. You realize its being orchestrated from Moscow. No wait… its Trump in cahoots with a famous stripper. No wait … its a show that came to Justin Trudeau when he had a dream about the world not being politically correct. Justin really wants to be more like DAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I agree Sean, and I hope that Roseanne manages to pull an Arsinio and gets Trump to guest Star.
    That would have the rabid left leaping from bridges and buildings.
