I enjoyed the first few seasons of the original, but by the last couple it seemed to have jumped the shark. I have no desire to watch the reboot. I wish Roseanne would shut up and go away. I would love to watch Laurie Metcalf and John Goodman do something together not related to this Roseanne garbage.
They could do a show on how great their lives become when they cut out garbage humans.
And I’m side-eyeing anyone who comes in here all “shrug, I’ll watch it if it’s funny” as if the art and the artist can possibly be separated. Hell no, you’re part of the problem too.
Seriously. You don’t see anyone clamoring for a Cosby show reboot.
But is that because of Bill Cosby or because racism?
Trump gave an "infrastructure" speech today, and closed out his incoherent rambling (including in this whole long thread) by praising Roseanne and making it about himself:
Trump on how he is improving the country: "Even look at Roseanne! I called her yesterday! Look at her ratings! Look at her ratings! Over 18M people! And it was about US! They haven't figured it out! The fake news hasn't quite figured it out yet! They have not figured it out! So that was great. And they haven't figured it out. But they will. And when they do, they'll become much less fake."
Is this where I say I hate the Will&Grace reboot too? I mean, let’s bring back Saved by the Bell while we are at it... actually, that’s not a bad idea.
Principal Zack Morris, English Teacher Jessie, Cheerleading Coach Kelly, PE teacher Slater, FACS/Fashion teacher Lisa, and a touching memorial service for Screech.
Umm, wow. I knew enough about Roseanne to know she belonged in the basket of deplorables, but this piece from last June has a lot of details I did not know about.
So...here is Roseanne dressed like Hitler, burning cookies that look like people. In an oven.
isn't she jewish?
yes. those pictures were originally published by an online uhh...irreverent?...jewish 'zine called Heeb. which makes me uncomfortable to type, but that's what it's called.

I feel vindicated. All those assholes who jumped all over me finally realized what a shitty human she is and are now backtracking and apologizing. I’m just going to gloat over here.
I just got in to an argument with my mother because I told her I was actively choosing not to watch Roseanne. I couldn’t explain my reasons enough for her to get past saying “I just really think you’d like it. We all watched it together when you were growing up!” over and over. (Yah, I remember and am probably still scarred by the episode you left in the VCR where Darlene gets her period for me to “discover”)
I meant , can the people who posted the picture in this thread get rid of it. I appreciate you just posting the link. That big ass picture is very upsetting, considering history.

I don't hate the idea of a working class, Trump supporting family (or politically conflicted family) as a concept. I think it could be somewhat interesting if well-done. I just have no confidence that an ACTUAL Trump supporter will make something that's thoughtful and needed in today's culture, especially since so many people are burned out on the "think of the white working class!" cry.
All in the Family for example - Norman Lear was/is a liberal. He identified with Gloria and Meathead. He thought other people would too. And some did, but many identified with the bigotry of Archie Bunker. I'm still not sure if that makes the show brilliant, since people identified with it at different levels, or horribly depressing about what it said about America. But anyway, it was well done, and Archie WAS in fact depicted as being wrong most of the time.
I'm disturbed 18mil people watched it...and that there is no way they were just DT supporters
Did you hear 45 took FULL credit for the ratings at his infrastructure speech (“rally”🙄) last night? “Look at Roseanne! I called her yesterday! Look at her ratings!” Trump said.
“I got a call from Mark Burnett, he did ‘The Apprentice,’ he’s a great guy. He said, ‘Donald, I called just to say hello, and to tell you: did you see Roseanne’s ratings?’ I said, ‘Mark, how big were they?’ They were unbelievable! Over 18 million people! And it was about us! They haven’t figured it out! The fake news hasn’t quite figured it out yet…But they will, and when they do, they’ll become much less fake.” www.nydailynews.com/amp/entertainment/tv/president-trump-takes-credit-roseanne-ratings-article-1.3904413
yeah, no. I won't be watching. I do like John Goodman but that's about the only redeeming quality. Fun fact: I lived down the hall from Sara Gilbert in college for a year and she was super not-nice.
"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.”
“With sorrow—for this Court, but more, for the many millions of American women who have today lost a fundamental constitutional protection—we dissent,”

Well, it isn't as though ignorance is limited to just Dumpster's supporters. There are people who keep their heads in the sand on all sides of the aisle. I think way more people than we think want to keep politics out of [sports][entertainment][friendships].
And there are people who might not have a clue about some of Roseanne's BS. I mean, I never liked her or the original show, so had no plans on watching because of that, but I had not heard about half of the stuff mentioned in this thread or the articles linked herein.
I don't know if it was mentioned but I remembered today that she did the national anthem years ago and was booed because it was disastrous and then she spit. I saw that they already renewed for a 2nd season which is early and nets don't usually do that based on 1 episode. I hope it fails.

I didn't see it in these pages, but forgive me if I missed it....As if there weren't enough reasons to dislike Roseanne, she did a magazine spread for a satire publication catering to young Jewish readers, it was her idea to dress up like Hitler holding a tray full of burnt cookies shaped like human beings.
it's bizarre seeing the commentary on this here vs. on FB. I have a couple of people on FB who are all, "yay rosanne! that was so well done! (shame she crazy now, but I loved it anyway)" and then everybody here is all, "I hate this, it's stupid. Also she's the worst"
I want to watch it only to see which side I fall on, but I don't want to support that trumpster nutball...
Same here! One super liberal friend was basically like this. "It was well done". Jaw on floor!
I just found out,though, that the actress who plays Debbie on Shameless plays Darlene's daughter. Of ANYTHING, that makes me want to watch - just to see her in a totally different character! I thought "Dammit- why this show, Debbie, why THIS show!?! Another bad life decision!".
