YoloinOhio Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I feel like the people who sit down to watch Roseanne don’t care about her tweet. Those who don’t watch don’t care either. Why cancel it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Was anyone else positive that this is how the latest iteration of Roseanne would end? I got “a series of racist tweets” for +240 in Vegas. It was the heavy favorite but also the safest bet :). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Trump will find a place for her in his Cabinet. If the current Postmaster General retires, I fully expect Wilfred Brimley, or Wayne Knight to be recommended by President Trump to the USPS Board of Governors.

That being said, this wasn't making "fun" of him, or questioning his motives. This was straight up racist. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 NBC was supposed to pick up a reboot of Coach. With Hayden's son as a head coach, and Hayden and Dauber as assistants. Maybe ABC can Roseanne and pick that up if they need a 90s reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 The original show back in the day was great. Hilarious, and pushed a lot of progressive/liberal boundaries. I was looking forward to the reboot, even with her red-hat character, because I figured she would once again do a decent job of bridging that divide. Maybe show that the extremists on the right could come back to earth on some things, while also showing their point of view. Especially with folks like John Goodman, Sarah Gilbert, and Wanda Sykes aboard. But, NOPE. The whole new season sucked, and Roseanne has gone fully off the rails. Instead of subtly bridging any gaps, she merely widened the divide. The only thing funny about this entire debacle is the irony that she said she was doing this season to prove that Trump supporters werent racist bigots, and then lost her show for being exactly a racist bigot. Good riddance, you disappointment. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the show was decent when they weren't trying to be a right-wing All in the Family. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand what you're saying but it's not 1960 anymore and everyone needs to realize it. I'm glad ABC acted EXACTLY the way they did and wasted no time doing it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
