The Roseanne revival premiere date is inching closer with each passing day, and fans are so excited to watch the new episodes when they debut on ABC later this month. This week, a brand new sneak peek of the premiere episode, titled “Twenty Years to Life,” has been released. It features beloved characters Roseanne (Roseanne Barr) and Dan Conner (John Goodman), and the pair seemingly haven’t lost their on-screen chemistry.
According to a March 13 report by Pop Culture , the Roseanne revival will touch on many debated topics during its nine-episode run. The economy, the president, sexuality, and growing older will all be discussed in the upcoming episodes. In the newly-released sneak peek, Roseanne and Dan are excited to get their prescription medications, but have to make due when their insurance won’t cover the cost any longer. Dan tells his wife that he had to pay twice the price for half the drugs.
When Roseanne asks her husband what they’re supposed to do, they decide to share their medications and divide them up among each other. When Roseanne asks Dan if he got the “pain pills” for her bad knee, she’s happy to see that he did, and calls the medications her “babies.” Then she questions him about the anti-depressants, which he reveals are all for her.
“If you’re not happy, I have no chance of being happy,” he says at the end of the clip.
