They've named it "the Roseanne effect."
For the 2018 upfront season, the Big 4 broadcast networks are saying yes to
multicamera comedies.
This comes after a wave of cancellations in 2017, that left only a few on the air.
Now, this pilot season 16 multicamera comedy series were ordered, 4 per network.
It is estimated that the Roseanne reboot, a multicamera comedy, come in at number one in TV's 2017-18 season.
