Not much, because I've been busy with a project for Mama Khan's church, but I am surprised to hear Todd Lamb is out of the running. He's the kind of candidate that conservative (read: bigoted, homophobic, uneducated, Bible-thumping) Oklahomans have wet dreams about. And medical marijuana is now legal in Oklahoma, which is good, because there are an awful lot of people w/ glaucoma running around in this state.

Great, now I'm picturing Portman, squirreled away in some underground bunker, frightened of every noise and even of his own shadow. When he dies, too, it'll be like "Citizen Kane," with everyone trying to unravel the mystery of his last word -- "marceline!" -- and getting nowhere.

AFAIC, they could have named it Roadkill. Not that I'm defending Sheffer, but I think part of that was due to P&G "schooling" him on what they thought made for good soap opera. Then, of course, I think a certain amount of cynicism, borne out of constant network and sponsor interference, began to creep into his work.

I have a feeling THAT scene would be a lot like the one where the rest of the family gangs up on Bingo-obssessed Rosey at the church.

I'm wondering if she isn't suffering from some sort of chemical imbalance. This behavior seems especially bizarre coming from her.

It's the moment when you realize a dumb Michael Moore movie ("Canadian Bacon," to be exact) was actually more prescient than you'd ever want to admit.

Did she? Yeah, you're right. Florek played the principal when Becky was suspended for (allegedly) flipping the bird in her class picture. Nevertheless, he did make than one appearance on the show, so the fans would still have a field day if he were to appear again as the doctor. ESPECIALLY if he appeared as Harris' doctor in the final season, which has been dismissed as part of Roseanne's imagination. ("Maybe she's only IMAGINING how the family would cope with her being gone!") Meanwhile, Pam Ewing awakens from a long night's rest to find none other than Rosey in her shower.

Better yet, get Dann Florek, who played the doctor when young Darlene had appendicitis AND when Harris suffered complications from her birth, to play him. That way, fans can speculate endlessly whether Roseanne's death isn't just part of some fictional, parallel universe within the show's reality.

"Our Rhoda" being fired from any series was just too traumatic for many to accept. From the TVLine article posted by John: 7. Now playing the role of Roseanne Conner is… Christopher Plummer. YES.

Nah, he's just letting the ladies grope him. Do I believe Katie/TC ate the show? No. Is/was she largely (or even singlehandedly) responsible for ATWT's ultimate demise? Again, no. But TPTB tried way too hard to sell her as a heroine; and as a result, I think many viewers were simply turned off. (But, you know, dragonflies IS right when she says an actor or character doesn't have to be on everyday, in every scene, in order for the entire show to be about them. GL's obsession with all things Jeffrey O'Neill/Bradley Cole is proof of that.)

In either case, Becky could be the one to whine, "WHY IS DADDY NOT CRYIN'?!".

I think I'd watch just long enough to see Darlene smash the bowl and cry, "DAMN! DAMN! DAMN!," lol.

Here's an idea: let's say the Conners are in the middle of a big party to celebrate their move to Mississippi, where Roseanne has landed a new job managing a gas station, when Dan reads a telegram informing him that Rosey has been killed in an automobile accident. Actually, now that I think about it, I think that story's been done already. Killing her off AND burning all her photographs. That way, they'd never have to pay Roseanne for the use of her likeness either.

That, Ms. Campos-Duffy, is what we, in the AA community, call "playin' you for a fool."

I won't either. However, I remain happy that the rest of the cast -- and more importantly, the crew -- will remain employed for awhile; and that, best of all, Roseanne herself is off mah damn TV screen (for now).
