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

http://deadline.com/2018/05/bryan-fuller-pushing-daisies-revival-roseanne-cancellation-abc-1202399448/ Of course, the man is kidding. Nevertheless, I, for one, would LOVE to see something like this happen.- The Politics 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
It's sad when one one-named icon puts another on blast.- "The Conners" Discussion Thread

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.- "The Conners" Discussion Thread
Hell, bring back "It's a Living"! We got only one [!@#$%^&*] weekend of that show before they yanked it for "Laverne & Shirley."- "The Conners" Discussion Thread
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.- "The Conners" Discussion Thread
Exchange "five-year-old" with "Michael" and you basically have the plot from an episode of "Good Times."

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.- "The Conners" Discussion Thread

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.- The Politics Thread
"Roseanne" is cancelled and Greitens is out. All in all, I would say it has been a good day. - "The Conners" Discussion Thread
