They have three huge foam pits, slides, rings, ropes, those run-up ramp walls that look so easy on TV, but are super hard in real life, and so much more.
If Will & Grace didn’t kick in the TV revival door, Roseanne certainly blew it off the hinges. There’s still a few major TV revivals to ponder, but NBC brass now say Seinfeld or Friends will never happen.
