It's sad when one one-named icon puts another on blast.

Nevermind.

And I think Roseanne is a racist, a narcissist and a pathological liar who has earned only my contempt. But, hey, it's only my opinion.

Hell, bring back "It's a Living"! We got only one [!@#$%^&*] weekend of that show before they yanked it for "Laverne & Shirley."

I hated to be that petty, but it's as if some live in a dimension where things like DVD's and YouTube don't exist. Meanwhile, anyone else note the irony in this occurring to the star of ANOTHER Carsey-Werner-produced series? I'm putting Brett Butler, John Lithgow and Topher Grace on my all news alerts as we speak.

Exchange "five-year-old" with "Michael" and you basically have the plot from an episode of "Good Times." You're welcome: https://www.amazon.com/Roseanne-Complete-Barr/dp/B00BUWD7E8/ref=sr_1_3?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1527638218&sr=1-3&keywords=roseanne+complete+series

Dammit, could we just GIVE Shonda her own daytime talk show? I would so be there, every damn day, ready to receive whatever truths she would be willing to impart upon her viewers.

So, smoke on your pipe and put THAT in!

Dear God, when TOM ARNOLD comes out looking like the sane one, you KNOW you'll never love again. I don't worry so much about the rest of the cast so much as I worry about the BTS crew who aren't in the public eye and are now out of work. I just hope there's time enough for them to land new jobs so they can keep supporting themselves and their loved ones. Oh, it would be funny af to see Sandy Duncan replace Roseanne (maybe as Dan's heretofore unknown sister or aunt). Damn. Now I'm gonna have to watch "Star Wars" again for the first time. (I LOVE YOU LUKE SKY--, ER, MARK HAMILL!!) I just chose to stay away, because of the godawful final season of the original series, and the fact that Roseanne's constant need to [!@#$%^&*]-stir for the press with all her personal dramas had plain worn me out.

"Roseanne" is cancelled and Greitens is out. All in all, I would say it has been a good day.

Honestly, the minute I heard that Roseanne Connor would be coming out as a Trump supporter, I knew the whole damn thing was doomed. Regardless of Roseanne Barr's actual feelings on the subject, Roseanne Connor would never -- NEVER -- have voted for Trump; and as Douglas Marland would say, "When they say 'He/she wouldn't do that,' you've failed."

If that's true, then shame on them. Nine years' worth of history should have told them that controlling anything connected to Roseanne was a dicey proposition (at best).

I'd feel sorry, too, except I ALSO feel they knew who she was when they agreed to come back or work with her. I mean, forget about today. Why would anyone sane want to work with Roseanne after all the backstage drama that had transpired during the original series? It just never made any sense to me. For one thing, if they had kept the show on the air, advertisers would have felt the pressure to pull their ads, resulting in lost revenue.

Then, in a later episode, the Connor family home burns down, and with it goes all of Roseanne's pictures, lol. Ironically, when the original series was in its' first or second season, and ABC was at their proverbial wits' end with her, they floated a similar idea (killing off Roseanne Connor) to John Goodman and Laurie Metcalf, with the idea of retooling the show around Dan, who would have become a single parent, struggling to raise the kids on his own, with help from Jackie. Goodman and Metcalf, however, stood by Roseanne, so the network backed off. Meanwhile... https://twitter.com/THEsaragilbert/status/1001513801546530816 People are starting to go in on the rest of the cast, saying that their silence equates with complicity. Boom. http://tvline.com/2018/05/29/roseanne-cancelled-season-11-racist-tweet-controversy-abc/

Me neither. Of course, if they DO cancel, I'll applaud. But, no, I don't believe they will cancel it either.

Excellent point!

No doubt, her supporters/defenders will argue that she has apologized and that the rest of us should just "move on." Unfortunately, it seems as if no one believes anymore in the concept that "saying you're sorry doesn't always make everything all better" and that there have to be consequences (no matter how severe) for one's words and actions.

Frankly, I would take the risk, too. Just shut down the revival, eat the costs, and move on. Otherwise, how is it going to look to have someone on your network who compared an AA woman to an ape? Viewers just might try to boycott.

Oh, really? Well, then, I stand corrected! But seriously. I lost patience with Roseanne's antics a long time ago, so there was no way in Hell I was going to watch the revival. I'm just glad that her comment finally proves what I've always suspected about the woman, despite her insistence to the contrary.

Wanda Sykes' decision probably had nothing to do with Roseanne's comment about Valerie Jarrett. Nevertheless, I say, good for her!

I wonder that as well. If I were watching the new episodes, this would be enough for me to stop.

I'd laugh if it weren't so damn serious.

No, he hadn't. Wisner Washam wrote a spec script for ANOTHER WORLD, but Robert Cenedella was HW at that point; and according to Washam himself, Cenedella didn't hire him, because he had enough writers. That's when his wife suggested showing his script to Nixon.
