Members Vee Posted May 31, 2018 Members Share Posted May 31, 2018 Career-wise Metcalf, Goodman and Gilbert will be fine. They don't need a sitcom. Michael Fishman and Lecy Goranson kept busy with their own things, but being on the #1 show in America was definitely a huge step up for them again. This changed their life and now it's changed again. Roseanne's alleged stand-in for some of the early years tells a story. John Goodman is not talking much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted May 31, 2018 Members Share Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) If it's actually being considered then I'm sure her ownership stake is a consideration in mind. If there's no other legal loophole (and there may be), they could give her GTFO money - if she'd take it. I don't know how long the retooled show would last but hell, The Hogan Family ran years without half the longtime goodwill. I would give it a shot. And while I personally don't need David around full-time (and I like David, but I think the recurring role they were setting up for him here worked) if they got Johnny Galecki back full time that would be a boost in terms of TV star wattage. Not that Goodman, Metcalf and Gilbert aren't potentially enough. That said, while Sara and ABC/Werner are reportedly floating the idea I imagine the cast is so disgusted and heartbroken they don't want anywhere near the memories right now. And that's very valid.

Members Khan Posted May 31, 2018 Members Share Posted May 31, 2018 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted May 31, 2018 Members Share Posted May 31, 2018 LOL. I'm pretty sure they'd just hinge the show on Darlene the single mother and Dan, which they were doing with Darlene and her kids a lot anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 31, 2018 Members Share Posted May 31, 2018 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.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted May 31, 2018 Members Share Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) I read that. I think he's right. It's actually a very intelligent interview - much better than his silly tape obsession of the last few years. Laurie Metcalf's poor daughter ended up getting grilled over the show ending and about Roseanne's career prospects. https://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/967489/ITV-Good-Morning-Britain-Richard-Madeley-car-crash-interview-Ranvir-Singh-GMB-watch-video Edited May 31, 2018 by DRW50 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members reallyhateskateonlost Posted May 31, 2018 Members Share Posted May 31, 2018 Don Rickles and Joan Rivers insulted people all the time. I'm laughing at ABC has "high standards." They fired Suzanne Somers from Three's Company for wanting a higher raise and now The Michael Jackson Estate is suing them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoria foxton Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I didn't know until recently that Laurie's daughter is playing the mom on Young Sheldon. No wonder she has such a strong resemblances. It was wrong to ambush her with these questions. She has nothing to do with that mess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted May 31, 2018 Members Share Posted May 31, 2018 Once again, Tom Arnold's coming out as a voice of clarity and I feel SO unclean. Maybe Roseanne IS afraid of her own successes. I dunno; and frankly, after everything that's transpired, I don't care. Get help, don't get help, makes no difference to me either way. Just go away, you racist piece of [!@#$%^&*]. Go. Away. This is not the same thing and you know it. You can kindly go away as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BetterForgotten Posted May 31, 2018 Members Share Posted May 31, 2018 I still don't care for Tom Arnold, he's an opportunist and wouldn't resist the opportunity to add his voice to any debacle involving his ex-wife, regardless if he's right or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
