The TV show Roseanne is coming back and the marketing team came up with a fun way to generate buzz — and yes we’re biting by giving them publicity.
In any case this faux-couch is apparently drawing all sorts of gawkers and selfie-takers at the stop at 69th and Columbus. And yes it even has realistic-looking “tears”.
Thanks to Amy for the photo.

What is it made out of?
Very clever.
Take note, advertising honchos: Providing something nice to the public is good business.
I wouldn’t watch this reboot if they paid me big money.
Do you know about this? Sounds cool, but….xxx, sd
I will not be watching the Trumpian Roseanne reboot but this was well-played 🙂
Yup, I wouldn’t watch the TRUMPIAN supporter, under any circumstances.
You don’t use quotation marks around the word ‘tears’, unless you’re pointing out the mistake.
What “mistake”?
Rosanne who?
Oh, her.
The show was unwatchable 25 years ago…
Full “Roseanne” living room on the Times Square-GCT shuttle. It’s very cute – with afghan and thread-bare sofa benches, homey family portraits on the walls, and roaring “fireplace” at the end of the last/fist car!
viral marketing at its finest
WSR, now that you “bit” can you let the marketing team that was responsible know about this: https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/dsny/site/howtogetridof/sofa
WSR bit (“and yes we’re biting by giving them publicity).
One of my all time favorite sitcoms. Can’t wait to see the cast reassembled.
I prefer the Simpson family, less racism.
It’s made of printed plastic. No fabric but very realistic-looking “worn upholstery” with “tears.” (Proper use of quotation marks.)

Makes for Discussion that way. Thanks
How I like some ‘granny squares” crochet designs. Would like yarn ; made in U.S.A., or, from Canada. Been impressed with some person[s] charity knit/or, crochet for : penguins; homeless [citizens ?]; prayer shawls [Christian]; short jackets for nursing homes; preemies; a throw for those recline-a-seats….; Norwegian caps [a chap’s book]; &, some of Denmark’s designs for knitting. Whew, 3rd Snowmageddon/Nor’Easter/Norbeasters : over. n.b. Samoyed dogs : yarn of…
I was just thinking the same thing…
Thank you Roseanne for being such a staunch supporter of President Trump, and using your platform as a celebrity to point out the serious flaws the Democrats have presently and the “Messiah” President we had 2008-2016 who was truly awful both domestically and for foreign policy. Welcome back to TV.
I think you are very confused.
Roseanne! That’s quite an endorsement!
What a Clown Show
Trumpy! Trumpy!
Archie…
…is that you?
There is no room for bigotry and hatred on the UWS. They need to take that couch to the East side or down South where is belongs.
Not much of a Rosanne fan (in real life or teevee life), but
Happy St Patrick’s everyone!
