The return of “Roseanne” was a major success, with the first two episodes of the tardy tenth season averaging a 5.1 rating in the key demographic coming in at 18.1 million viewers, making it the “highest-rated regularly-scheduled scripted show of the last few seasons, as well as the highest-rated sitcom in recent memory”, according to THR.

Easy comparison “Will & Grace” (NB) premiered with a 3.0 rating in the key demo and 10 million viewers at the start of it’s recent return.

The premiere episodes of the new “Roseanne” will be re-run Sunday April 1 on ABC.
