I haven't got the link, naughty me, for this story.
An interview was conducted with some of the crew:
one of them in the set design department.

There is a vivid description of the challenge of the first season of the rebooted/revived show.
The initial idea was, What do you suppose the Conners' house looks like inside all these years later? Think they might have changed this here, or renovated that there ... what would the windows look like ... the couch ... the this, the that...

So something was worked out, and shown to the showrunner.
Who threw his hands in the air and started screaming and hollering!
Mistake! Huge mistake! Stop right there!!

The word from on high was to duplicate, as nearly as possible,
exactly the way the living room and so on had been, twenty years ago.

Which, the crew designer made clear, was a genuine challenge:
that couch isn't made anymore, the something-or-other no longer exists, the pattern in the fabric, and on, and on ...

It's one year later.
The designer gets a job offer in May,
when crews are all kind of scrambling around for work.
"Thanks, but no thanks, I'm on the Roseanne show."
The Tweet From Hell gets the show cancelled, and boom!
