Our first look at David also delivers the best joke from the Roseanne trailers so far.
The actor’s involvement had been up in the air for quite a while, given his commitment to CBS’ Big Bang Theory, and I’d half-assumed Roseanne would explain it with him being away on business or something.
Unfortunately, the trailer didn’t offer any context for where David has been and what his relationship is with Darlene and their two children, Harris (Emma Kinney) and Mark (Ames Mcnamara).
As he remarks about how the room looks exactly the same as it did when everyone was kids, Sara Gilbert’s Darlene says it was due to the “decorating choice called poverty”.
