Walt Disney Co DIS 0.95% is riding the wave of pop culture nostalgia by bringing back a pair of hit TV shows: “Roseanne” and “American Idol.” “American Idol” was a ratings juggernaut for Twenty-First Century Fox Inc FOXA 0.4% for 16 season starting in 2002. “Roseanne” ran for nine seasons on ABC from 1988 to 1997.
