Trailers, Inc.: ABC Rolls Out The New Stuff!

ABC has a wicked strong set of trailers for its new shows – shows about rappers who run for mayor to promote their records… and win; refugees from an American civil war in the future; a disgraced illusionist who offers his services to the FBI to clear his name; a not particularly good person who’s given a mission from God; a couple whose divorce reignites their marriage, and more.

There’s a trailer for Marvel’s Inhumans from today’s Upfront – but as of this moment, it hasn’t been made available. Watch for that. It’s pretty awesome.

Iconic comedy series “Roseanne” will return to ABC. The eight-episode reboot, featuring the original cast – Roseanne Barr (Roseanne), John Goodman (Dan), Sara Gilbert (Darlene), Laurie Metcalf (Jackie), Michael Fishman (D.J.) and Lecy Goranson (Becky) – will air in 2018. Sarah Chalke, who played the character Becky in later seasons, will also appear in another role.

When it premiered on ABC, the series broke new ground for its realistic portrayal of a working-class family, the Conners, barely scraping by in the fictional town of Lanford, Illinois.  It also dominated the ratings as one of the highest-rated television series on the air for its near-decade run. A comedy about ordinary people who faced day-to-day survival with a sense of the absurdity of it all, the inimitable Roseanne was its epicenter.  Lauded for its humor, relevance, warmth and honesty, the Conner family will continue to deal with the economic challenges of living pay check to pay check in 2018.  In its nine seasons on ABC, in addition to being a primetime ratings hit, the series won a Peabody Award and a Golden Globe Award for best television series (comedy or musical). Barr and Goodman each won Golden Globes for best performance by an actress and actor. Barr went on to win an Emmy as lead actress, and Metcalf won two supporting actress Emmys for her work on the series.
