ABC

We’re starting to a see a bizarre revival trend in which shows like Will & Grace completely ignore their finales in favor of a comeback. So too is Roseanne confirmed to ignore its meta-twist ending, because what’s Roseanne without John Goodman’s Dan?

It was admittedly nerve-wracking to be an Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. fan in May, as ABC took their time confirming a Season 5 renewal against The Inhumans. We were lucky to get the full twenty-two episodes, and ready to wait until midseason, but ABC now claims we’ll get uninterrupted Agents only a few weeks later than usual.

The closing stinger of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 4 guardedly confirmed that Coulson would go galactic in Season 5, but how far remains to be seen. Now, a new set video seemingly showcases a familiar-looking Kree in the background, and … say, that couldn’t be Mary Poppins, could it?

The cancellation of ABC’s Last Man Standing raised questions of the network’s comfort with Trump-supporting stars, especially as ABC pondered re-calibrating its audience post-election. Reviving Roseanne seemed like a way to gauge that, and network brass now assure “we’re going to be tackling some of the topics that are in the conversation today.”

Well, if Roseanne can come back without needing to make sense of its ending, why not Felicity? That’s the question posed to stars Keri Russell and Scott Speedman, who told Jimmy Kimmel they’d be up for a Netflix revival “in a heartbeat.”

Surprised though we were that Roseanne was next on the list for revival, we knew ABC would put up a fight to host it. So it is, that the broadcast network has beaten out Netflix for the chance to bring back Roseanne, currently eying the return for midseason.

We were lucky enough that ABC opted to renew Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. for Season 5, so it isn’t any surprise that the network might try something new this fall. What is surprising, however, is that ABC isn’t giving Marvel’s The Inhumans a prime timeslot, but instead placing both on Friday.

You’re not living in a parallel universe, but you might as well get used to the phrase “American Idol, live from ABC!” The reality singing hit is officially coming back for another round, moving from its FOX home in a surprising upset for the major networks.

Oh, the Pandora’s Box we opened with even one sitcom revival. Latest off the nostalgia conveyor belt is none other than Roseanne, which will follow Will and Grace and Fuller House with its own modern revival, complete with original cast.

Seeing as the Emmy awards rotate broadcast networks from year to year, it seemed likely that Jimmy Kimmel might suit up to host the awards once the wheel landed on ABC. Good guess, everyone! The network has officially confirmed that the Jimmy Kimmel Live! host will don his tux later this year.
