"The Conners" Discussion Thread
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But if that doesn't work, could we at least ask Joan if she were interested? Because, I got a killer way of introducing her onto the show. (You see, it's just like when she made her first appearance on "Dynasty." She steps onto the Connors' front porch from her (off-stage) limo, wearing a similar dress and hat. Everyone's inside the house, peering through the living room windows, wondering who in the world would show up at the Connors in a limousine? She rings the doorbell, the family scrambles to see which one will open the door, Dan says it's HIS house and he'll open HIS door; and when he does, asking who it is, she lifts up her head and it is Alexis -- I mean, it's Ronnie.)

And now I'm wishing once more that they could nab Sandy Duncan to play Dan's sister (or aunt). Or, even better, get Joan Collins to come back as Roseanne's cousin Ronnie.

Well, Rosey, we just wish you had remembered Laurie and John, along with everyone else who worked on your series, before you chose to tweet out your racist garbage. I wouldn't worry about LM or JG, though, or any of the other actors. If nothing else, the revival put them in enough producers' consciences for next pilot season. So, they'll land on their feet quite nicely. You, on the other hand, Rosey, should be worried. Meanwhile: http://deadline.com/2018/05/netflix-abc-roseanne-shade-one-day-at-time-1202400515/

SMH. (I just KNOW that Mama Khan's gonna recite that garbage about Michelle Obama being behind the cancellation the minute she hears it. Fox News and all those yahoos on YouTube have done such a number on her. Frankly, I've come to have little respect for my own mother, which is heartbreaking.) Don't get me wrong, I'll always appreciate the efforts to keep the rest of the cast and crew employed. However, if the rest of the cast were allowed to continue, then it would have to be as a new series, and they would have to play new characters who, in no way, shape or form, resembled anything on "Roseanne." That's because, given Roseanne's temperament, I wouldn't be surprised if their efforts were met with cease-and-desist letters from her and her attorneys. Sort of like how Suzanne Somers' initial efforts to move past "Three's Company" on CBS were stymied by the show's producers, claiming that she and the network were infringing upon their rights to the character of Chrissy Snow.

No, it's "Birdemic" with a slightly larger special effects budget.

she’s not afraid to say what real Americans are thinking. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what has so many feeling very afraid these days.

...Sigh... Well, it was gonna happen, sooner or later: I wonder if he walks into each room, saying "President Donald J. Trump," like Denny Crane used to announce his name on "Boston Legal." Also, the way he refers to himself in the third person, then in the first, makes it sound as if he and "President Donald J. Trump" are two different people. Madness.

She thinks being a "comedienne" gives her a pass to offend everyone in the name of humor. But I can't think of a single comic whom I've admired over the years (save for Eddie Murphy) who ever crossed that line. And that's including Joan Rivers and Richard Pryor.

Even all these years later, Noah Webster don't play. ANOTHER African-American woman?? Dear God.

Serves that heffa right! Laying off one's racist views on over-the-counter medication is about as cheap as anyone could get. That's like killing an openly gay man and then claiming "the Twinkies made me do it!!". No, Rosie. You said something that was deplorable -- a lot of somethings that were deplorable, in fact -- and you put yourself and other, innocent people out of work in the process. Live with it.

Somewhere, Matt Williams (and every other writer/producer Roseanne put through the old wringer BITD) is laughing his ass off. Because, she will. Then, she'll be fired, like everyone who works for that man ends up fired. (Cue the "Roseanne escorted from the WH" headlines.) This blog post, from "Cheers" and "M*A*S*H" writer Ken Levine, pretty much sums up how I feel about the whole fiasco (and that's what it was doomed to be, too, a fiasco): http://kenlevine.blogspot.com/2018/05/my-thoughts-on-roseanne-being-cancelled.html Yeah, I don't buy that [!@#$%^&*] either. Who did Dave Caplan talk to before taking the job? Because, given her antics and reputation from the original series ALONE, I doubt anyone in the industry would have told him to go ahead and accept the gig. Not without asking first whether he had good health insurance. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I really enjoyed the first season or so of the original show, because someone other than that self-destructive shrew was in charge. Once she (and Tom Arnold) began acquiring more and more control over its creative direction, though, "Roseanne" just grew into an obnoxious and ultimately unpleasant show to watch (save for some great moments that managed to pierce through her megalomania). As host of the "Tonight Show" for thirty years, Johnny Carson did a lot of good things for the country...but introducing us to the holy terror that is Roseanne (Barr) was not one of 'em.- "The Conners" Discussion Thread
My advice to Michael, Sara and anyone else she might attack directly: do not engage, do not respond. Smokey the Bear says only YOU can prevent dumpster fires.- "The Conners" Discussion Thread
I'll remember that the next time I get caught calling a white person a "cracker" or suggest they all love country music and sleeping with their cousins. ("[!@#$%^&*], y'all, you know it was just that silly ass Ambien talkin' again!")- "The Conners" Discussion Thread
Okay, when we DO get that Shonda Rhimes talk show? I want YOU to be one of her co-hosts. (I also want Luvvie Ajayi to join the panel. Real talk from real Black women who are empowered and know their [!@#$%^&*]. No lie.)- "The Conners" Discussion Thread
Someone needs to remind Roseanne that it isn't 1993 anymore and that you just can't be as outrageous as you wanna and expect it all to blow over soon. Not in the age of social media, when people are ALWAYS ready with the receipts.- "The Conners" Discussion Thread
Remember, though, that it's all just "comedian s**t."- "The Conners" Discussion Thread
She would've been better off blaming one of her multiple personalities. That's probably because she has forgotten that she had told that lie once upon a time. Why does it not surprise me that someone would label SG a "backstabber" for not defending Roseanne? She would've had to have been a moron for defending anyone who'd make such vile statements about other people. As I see it, though, SG actually did Roseanne a favor by making the revival happen. Because, before then, what was Roseanne doing with herself besides stirring the pot on social media and having the most tiresome custody disputes with ex-hubby no. 3? SG owes her nothing. Oh well. Is Brett Butler available? Maybe they could revive "Grace Under Fire." I'm kidding.- "The Conners" Discussion Thread
ICAM. Saying sorry just does not make this all disappear. I want her to get the professional help she CLEARLY needs and just leave us all the hell alone. That's all. Forgot to add: leave it to Roseanne to throw in that "(all liberal)" aside about her writers while faux-apologizing. B***h does NOT know when to STFU.- "The Conners" Discussion Thread

If anyone ever asks y'all whether conservatives today are out-of-step with the rest of the nation, just remind them that conservatives are seriously launching a campaign to end a cable talk show because they THINK it'll make liberals cry. - "The Conners" Discussion Thread
