On Tuesday, we attended a red carpet event at Holiday Acres for the premiere of the TV show, Roseanne. Our family friend, Paul, is a syndicator for the show and decided to throw this launch party for some of his Rhinelander family and friends. The invitation said Formal Attire requested, so it was a great excuse to dress up and get out of the house for a bit.
I could hardly recognize Holiday Acres when we arrived. The red carpet began outside with big, beautiful spotlights shining everywhere. As we followed the carpet inside, the whole corridor was transformed with stage curtains and cool red lights. It looked awesome. At the end of the walk was a Roseanne backdrop and a professional photographer who took pictures for each couple. The passed hor' dourves were absolutely delicious and plentiful and they offered complimentary beer and wine. Steve and Patti and Sara and Tom attended with us, so there was plenty of good company while we waited for the show to start.
They had large televisions put up all over the room, so everyone could get a good view of the show. It was hilarious - Eric belly laughed through the whole thing. I grew up watching Roseanne, and the reboot definitely stayed true to the original. Paul said the goal was to have 17.2 million viewers tune in. He told us the next morning that they far surpassed that with over 18 million people watching! That made it the number one scripted show on television! It was a great and unique opportunity to attend a premiere like this and we had a wonderful time!
