In one, Roseanne – who rose to fame in the hugely popular sitcom of the same name – displays a bitter streak as she takes aim at younger stars.

Roseanne was thought to be making a TV comeback via NBC, who were keen to test drive a new sitcom co-written by the actress and comedienne with Nurse Jackie showrunner Linda Wallem.
The deal, reported by Huffington Post, wold give the broadcasting giant the opportunity to try it out for a ten episode stretch before agreeing to 90 more through a syndication deal.
