Roseanne Returning To TV
March 23 2009, Published 9:05 a.m. ET
Roseanne Barr is reuniting with an old colleague to bring a new sitcom to the small screen.
The actress, according to the Hollywood Reporter, is reuniting with Roseanne producer Caryn Mandabach in hopes of recreating what has been a successful formula for her in the past -- playing the mother in a family sitcom. Her original sitcom ran on ABC from 1988-1997, garnering high ratings and accolades for its blunt, All In The Family-esque tackling of social issues of the day.
