Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThanks, Hank, nobody asks for your card number here. Now, as we told you earlier, Roseanne Barr's series is courting distributors, per The Hollywood Reporter.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentNew since then: nothing, except co-creator Allan Stephan says talks are with a few platforms.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentSo my pick is A Different World: Season 1, number three on Netflix's TV list. Watch it if your group chat peaked in college.
