"Roseanne" is celebrating its 35th anniversary.

When the show first premiered in October 1988, it quickly resonated with viewers across America and became one of the most popular sitcoms of its time. The show was celebrated for showing a more realistic version of what a working middle-class family looked like.

"Roseanne" also dealt with real-world issues and subjects considered more taboo at the time, such as abortion, homosexuality and birth control. The show continued to include controversial subjects when it was rebooted in March 2018 but was canceled after a scandal with lead actress Roseanne Barr.  The cast, minus Barr, got a spinoff called "The Connors" that was recently renewed for a sixth season.

Here is what the show's main cast has been up to since.
