ROSEANNE
April 10, 2018  | By David Bianculli

ABC, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

One of the smartest moves made by this rebooted revisit of the old ABC Roseanne series was to find roles for both of the young actresses who had played Roseanne’s daughter Becky over the years. Lecy Goranson had originated the role, and Sarah Chalke, who achieved additional fame as the co-star of Scrubs, inherited it. In this new 2018 iteration, the role of Becky reverts to Goranson, who finds a possible path to financial solvency by engaging in a surrogacy arrangement and accepting money to bring to term an embryo implanted from a woman incapable of carrying out the pregnancy. That woman, Andrea, is played by Chalke – and their arrangement is tested tonight in an episode titled “Eggs Over, Not Easy.” Laurie Metcalf, as Becky’s outspoken aunt, tries to intercede – and also guest starring is Rhea Seehorn, the female co-star of Better Call Saul.
